Home in Switzerland

August already! It surprises me every time. We had a busy and fun July, visiting family and friends in the States. Wish we could have stayed longer, but it was still good to get home. It's very quiet in our neighborhood. I assume our neighbors are off enjoying a last couple of weeks of relaxation before the back-to-school craziness begins. As for us, we've been to the local swimming pool a few times, went to the natural history museum and to the annual Fête de Géneve,which is a big carnival on the shores of Lake Geneva. Donald left for Tanzania this morning for a week long company meeting. He's going to spend a couple of days on the island of Zanzibar before coming home. Then we're all going to Barcelona for a week. Sounds so matter of fact, doesn't it! Believe me, I am not taking this for granted.
Meanwhile, we are still a normal (most of the time!) family, doing laundry, walking the dogs, trying to figure out what to cook for dinner, etc. Just doing it all in Switzerland.
