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!

André is our DeDe’s husband. He’s the first cousin of our AFS Exchange student from the 1970’s.

We are loving our time here – and our brains are slowly adjusting to Swiss time! It’s an 8 hour difference!

Pretty sunset last night.
Great accommodations prepared for us by Syli. God bless her.

Nap time 💤 See ya later.

Love, JanBeek

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!
Which grandson is craziest!?

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!

That side of the valley is more rugged…
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

A Night Out

So nice to be able to treat ourselves to a nice dinner every now & then. Continental Divide is guaranteed to satisfy. Wish you could have joined us‼️

First the salad
Then shrimp with pasta – mmm
And next salmon with pasta

Great atmosphere. Excellent wait staff. We love having Deb as our waitress!

Pretty drive home
Beautiful autumn leaves are destined to turn brown and fall off this weekend. Predicted to have 4” of snow on Sunday. I wish autumn lasted as long as winter does around here!
I wish our geraniums can survive the snow. But good luck!

It was a great night out. I hope you can treat yourself to a night out soon, too!

Love, JanBeek

A Blest Week

We just had the privilege of a week with our son here in Ennis, MT. We loved every minute of that precious time together. While the skies were smoky each day (you couldn’t even see the mountains through the smoke), and it didn’t begin to clear until the day he was leaving, we didn’t let that deter us from having a good time.

Talking time in the living room

Yummy time at Dave’s Sushi preceding time at the movies (Odyssey)

Sharing meals together was highlighted by great conversations

The mountains peeked through the smoke and the antelope showed up to say goodbye as we were driving Ty to the airport
We stopped at Fiesta Mexicana for lunch before dropping Ty off at the Gallatin Bozeman airport
Mmm – great margaritas! And delicious food
Mouth watering!

Ty’s flight was delayed and he had a challenging set of flights and car trouble… but God made sure his needs were met and he was home that night safe & sound.

And our home has seen blue skies since then. Come back soon, Ty. And bring Monika!
We’ll keep you up to date on the progress of the house being built in the field across from us!

We were blessed indeed to have such a blest week!

Love,

JanBeek

Best Local Dish

What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?

My son-in-law, André Solioz, is a phenomenal chef. When we travel to Switzerland to be with him, our daughter, and their family, his food is to die for!! The local dish is cheese fondue and it’s wonderful. But his specialty that I love is a pork roast. Oh, he creates it in such a mouth-watering way. You’d love it! But, his dishes all are amazing!

Here’s André … We get to see him and eat his wonderful food this October. Yay!

Hugs, JanBeek

Happy 2nd birthday to our pup, Kenny!!
