Sweet Swiss Times

Our weekend began with a cloudy day in Sierre, Switzerland, but soon the sky cleared and the weekend was sunny and beautiful.

It was a beautiful fun-filled time with family and friends. Let me share some highlights with you. We’re having such sweet Swiss times! One highlight of our weekend was a choir festival in Véraz (near Sierre) where our daughter, DeDe, and grandson, Chris, sang with the Chippis choir.

Every day here in this beautiful country is full of the blessing of family and friends. Sweet catch-up time. I love sharing the fun with you.

After the festival, we went to André’s brother’s fiancée’s place for a raclette evening. So nice to have catch-up time with Kad & Roger.

Meantime, our friends, Jim & Terry, took the bus from Vissoie up to Grimentz where they are enjoying a few days of hiking in those fabulous mountains. They’re sharing a few photos of their experiences. Have a look!

Wow! Great photo, Terry!

Jim … the trooper
Hah! Listen to Terry’s description of their hike and Jim’s take on this!

Yes, the mountains are alive with the sounds of water and hikers and joy! Once upon a time, a dozen years ago, Bob & I took that hike. Now we are content to enjoy those high Alpine views through others’ cameras! Oh, and from the bus- of course.

Thank you for your responses to our posts. We love sharing our trip vicariously with you, dear friends. Wish you could be here in person.

See ya tomorrow (God willing)-

Love, JanBeek

    • Thank you for visiting – and for traveling vicariously with us. Switzerland is a wonderful place to HAVE to go to!!!

      • We visited Switzerland twice in 2006.
        My brother relocated to Zurich for a couple of years, and we were lucky enough to be able to stay with him in Rüschlikon. The first time for my ‘big’ birthday in springtime, and then later that same year, taking our elder son, Frank, with us.
        We had a fabulous time, taking cable cars up mountains, train journeys to different cities, a trip down to Lake Lugano across to Italy….. Lovely memories.
        Happy days.

      • Oh, I’m so glad you were able to do that! Yes… wonderful memories … the kind of country fairytales are made of! Will you return in the future?

      • Thank you.
        We would love to visit Switzerland again…… Who knows…… Maybe
