Fun in Switzerland
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 they are … 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!
Swiss Family
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
Hello from Switzerland
It’s a beautiful Thursday morning
We spent from 6:30 am Tuesday to 7:30 am Wednesday on 4 different flights to get to Geneva. De & André picked us up there. The 2 hour drive to Sierre was gorgeous! Pictures don’t do it justice. Zoom in on those terraced mountainsides covered with vineyards!
So am I!
See ya tomorrow.
Love, JanBeek
Suddenly October
Sunflowers turn their faces
To the bright October sun
A new month is upon us
A time to have some fun
Too much wine (TMW)
Gives way to NEW
Never enough wine
For the likes of me & you!
We enjoy our time with friends
We’re looking forward to
October and all its trends
A time for trick or treaters
But we’ll be off to Switzerland
No tricks and for sure no cheaters!
What are your October plans?
Love, JanBeek
64 Years of Love
Who would have guessed
When we married in 1962
That our love would last so long
I prayed it would, did you?
The day Bob proposed to me
He was far away in Germany
I joined him the next February
Were busy times for me and Mother
She dove knee-deep into helping
Prepare for a Valentine’s like no other
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
Friends, Friends, Friends
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
Mmmm
What “Yum” have you experienced recently? Tell me about it!
Live, Love, and Enjoy all the mmmm you can!
Hugs,
JanBeek
Starting September
Starting September simply
Steady steps and sure
Waiting, watching, walking
September thoughts are pure
Great-granddaughter grins
At a walk-athon with friends
Fund-raiser fun and frolicky
Tackling new trends
Love,
GG
