Linus had a security blanket
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:
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,
JanBeek

Good morning dear friends
It is Terrific Tuesday
We’re in Switzerland
Sending hugs your way. Bee 🐝 well
Love, JanBeek (with Céline, our #2 grandson’s sweetheart)
Yesterday we attended a wine/raclette/music festival in Sierre, Switzerland. Our grandson, Mike, was there with his wife, Tania, and our great-grandson, Ethan. Today we are Celebrating Ethan’s 2nd birthday. Here is Mike… and here’s the fife & drum corps:
After the festival we had the privilege of visiting with Chantal. She is our son-in-law, André‘s cousin. She lived with us for about 10 months in CA back in the ‘70’s when she was about 17. Such fun to catch up with her again! Being with family & friends is what this trip to Switzerland is all about!
I went to church this morning with Denise (André’s mom). It was a beautiful morning.
It’s such a pretty day here!
Santé, my friends. Thanks for visiting JanBeek. See you tomorrow.
Ciao!
Such fun to be with our daughter, DeAna, and her mother-in-law & her husband, André, and his cousin, Sylviane (Syli)!
Yummy food and great company!
We are loving our time here – and our brains are slowly adjusting to Swiss time! It’s an 8 hour difference!
Nap time 💤 See ya later.
Love, JanBeek

Who would have guessed
When we married in 1962
That our love would last so long
I prayed it would, did you?
Have you ever seen a cake
More beautiful than this one?
It was a February 11th wedding
Friends, family, students all had fun
And now, every day is a day
To celebrate being in love and alive
We’re so grateful for family and friends
Who join us and help us celebrate and thrive
Sending love your way
With prayers for your days
To be filled with boundless blessings.
Keep in touch with the God we praise!
Amen?
Amen!
Love,
JanBeek
Nothing like friends
Friends from long ago
Friends to laugh with
Friends who take it slow
Friends who know us well
Friends who love to tell
Stories fun – that swell
To new heights … no one fell
No, we all survived
The great elaborations
Remembrances exaggerated
Enhancing celebrations
Congratulations to our grandson
Who popped the question true –
“Will you marry me, Natalia?
I will always love you!”
Friends, friends, friends
Bringing love and laughter
Growing dearer every year
Spreading joy forever after!
Hugs from JanBeek
We just had the most wonderful week with my cousin and his wife. Adrian & Laura were such fun to have around.
They are DeAngelis (my maiden name) “of angels” – apropos!!
They are spending a week in Yellowstone
We were privileged to watch the parade from dear friends, Roy & Barbara Washburn’s lovely place. Such gracious, generous people!
Wish you coulda joined us!
Hugs,
JanBeek
