Autumn in Yellowstone

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!!

What a magnificent rack on that animal. A buck? Don’t get too close! They are dangerous!

Have you ever visited Yellowstone in Autumn? This is my first … thank you for sharing, Shannon.

Love,

JanBeek

We Were On Our Way

Two weeks ago we saw a beautiful sunrise on Bozeman to Denver flight

Then we saw cloudy skies Denver to New York

Our 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!

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?

Love,

Terrific Tuesday

Good morning dear friends

It is Terrific Tuesday

We’re in Switzerland

There’s our daughter’s apartment building. They live on the 4th floor.

This is the building across the road from them

And 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

Sending hugs your way. Bee 🐝 well

Love, JanBeek (with Céline, our #2 grandson’s sweetheart)

Images of Italy

Churches usually dominate the highest place in cities & villages

Vineyards are everywhere in this region near Barbaresco

The display of food at our B&B was amazing

This cheerful fellow was our breakfast server at DaMamma B&B in Alba

Amazing landscape

Now we’re headed back to Switzerland. It was a wonderful trip to Italy.

See ya tomorrow

Hello from Switzerland

Yay! We are in Sierre with our DollyWolly!

It’s a beautiful Thursday morning

Sierre, Switzerland

Grandmama (Mammie) Denise was happy to see us!

We were delighted to have all 3 of our Swiss grandsons join us last night

Céline (Nicky’s significant other) joined us briefly. Such a sweetheart!

André (our son-in-law) fixed a gourmet dinner for us. Yummmm!

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!

There are the vineyards on the north side of the valley.

The southern side of the valley doesn’t get the afternoon sun. No vineyards there.

This is the view from our 4th floor patio

“Grampy” Bob is sooo happy to be with our daughter, DeDe, again!
So am I!

See ya tomorrow.

Love, JanBeek
