Good morning all. Just finished my breakfast after going to WW. Should hold me til dinner or I'll do my Chocolate drink trick later if I'm searching around. I was doing great yesterday until I decided I could eat 2 cookies because my new week started today. I actually still had earned enough weeklies back so not going to feel too guilty. One tasted really good and after the second one I felt kind of yucky, too much sugar. Slow learner for sure, but right BOT today. Have meals planned out for the next few days, seeing what we can use up in the fridge etc. This afternoon Diana is coming over to get the keys and whatever other info I can tell her about the cats. Just going to have to be OK with that one. Had a message from the GF this morning asking about coming in early June, hope they can make the trip. Maybe not the best cabin weather but we will certainly find things to do and have fun. Yay. Going to be quite the lovely summer with all the plans so far. The sun is finally trying to make an appearance this morning and we have some more bark to put out front, so that's probably on the agenda. Not sure what else I'll be up to but I'm sure I'll find something to get into Have a great day all. Jan

Cindy Thanks for starting us. How are you doing this morning? Did the GF ever go home :0 Any babies yet? Hope the eggs actually hatch soon. I need to get out and fill my feeders. I'm not sure I'm even going to ask Diana to do that, but we'll see. At least I feel like now the birds can find a lot of other foods to eat. Not putting up my hummingbird feeder until we get home.

Amy Enjoy your new country today Some Swiss chocolate for sure has to be on the menu!! I;d probably be sending boxes home, ha ha.

Waving hi to all.

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!

It's a little after 6:30 am on Wednesday here in Lucerne, Switzerland. Yesterday was a travel day from Paris, a long time riding on the bus. The countryside was beautiful, lots of old buildings, the occasional castle, a few vineyards. One of the tour group members got her bag stolen, so she now has no paasport, ID, or credit cards. She did have 200 Euros in her suitcase and her traveling companion has an extra credit card for her to use. Apparently the plan is for her to go to the consulate in Florence to hopefully get a temporary passport so she can fly home. Hopefully we will be able to cross the border into Italy without issue. Lucerne is a beautiful old city on Lake Lucerne, with views of snow-capped mountains. We went to a restaurant last night that had a Swiss folklore show along with dinner. The show was fun with a lot of audience participation, DH got on stage with 11 other people to attempt to blow an Alpine horn, he did well. We had Swiss cheese fondue, beef in mushroom sauce, and potatoes for dinner with ice cream for dessert. We walked back to the hotel after the show along the lakefront, very pretty. The hotel is the nicest so far, an old building with modern rooms. We are walking around the city this morning then heading to Bergamo, Italy. We were supposed to take a gondola ride up Mount Pilatus this morning, but they are closed for service.


Jan- WTG planning meals for the next few days. Yay for DS and GF maybe coming to visit in June and all your fun summer plans.

Carole- GL with the challenge at the gym, you always do so well with them! Yay for going to Siesta Key in August. Glad Ty is liking the job.

Cindy- Thanks for getting us started. GL at the ortho.
