Shannon Heckler made a recent trip to Yellowstone and took these phenomenal photos. I just HAVE to share them with you. We are returning home from Switzerland to Montana this week. We live just an hour from these beautiful scenes and animals. Don’t you love them? Thank you, Shannon, for sharing!!
Autumn in Yellowstone Gorgeous!!The bison are amazing animals. What a magnificent rack on that animal. A buck? Don’t get too close! They are dangerous!Beautiful beyond belief!
Have you ever visited Yellowstone in Autumn? This is my first … thank you for sharing, Shannon.
In these days of political dissension, remain cheerfully hopeful, like Linus. Carry your security blanket with you. Mine is a pillow that I brought from Montana to Switzerland as a reminder:
Dream a little dream with me
Carry your security blanket or pillow and your positive energy wherever you go. Dream of a better world. Dream of a place where the security of sanity and compassion are the norm.
Happy end to October, my friends. May your day be as beautiful as mine!
Hugs,

That’s our DeDe. It’s been a wonderful visit here with her and our extended Swiss family & friends. Peaceful. Beautiful. Loving. 🥰 Homeward on Tuesday. 😣🤨🌨️🥶‼️
Two weeks ago we saw a beautiful sunrise on Bozeman to Denver flightThen we saw cloudy skies Denver to New YorkOur flight from NY to Geneva was long but bearable. Yay!!
It was 7:30 am by the time we arrived in Switzerland. Safe flight. Thanks for your prayers. In six days we’ll do it again – in reverse.
Meantime, we are having a fabulous 3 weeks with our dear Swiss family and friends. Today our grandson, Mike, treated us to a tour and lunch at Alaia Bay, his place of work. Ever heard of surfing in Switzerland? You have to see it to believe it!
Artificial waves in this phenomenal setting!
Are you as astounded as I was?
And the beauty around us is beyond amazing!
Alpine splendor Wish you were here!Mike treated us to pizza & a beer on the prettiest day with the most splendid sights imaginable! Aren’t we blessed?
I hope you can visit this wonderland someday. What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?
There’s our daughter’s apartment building. They live on the 4th floor. This is the building across the road from themAnd there’s the church tower across the street. Its bells chime every 1/2 hour from 8: am to 8:pm
They produce a delightful time signal. Beautiful Alpine scene as Autumn is in full swing
Of course I set goals for myself. Doesn’t everyone?

Those are our “Swiss daughter and Swiss Son” (Sylviane & Christian Zufferey). They are the reason we have such a deeeelightful family here in Switzerland. In the 1980’s each of them spent a year living with us as AFS exchange students- and our daughter, DeDe, married their first cousin after she spent a year here living in their family.
Here are De & André. They live intentionally too!And here is De with her sweet mother-in-law, Denise.
We just had a lovely lunch prepared by Syli. Bee grateful!
Mmmm!Bee grateful!
Our son, Ty, and daughter-in-law, Monika, had a great Saturday. Fun with a friend. Flying and experiencing the opportunity to be the pilot!! They are staying in touch. For that we are very grateful. Staying in touch is another of my goals. How about you?
