Days 16 & 17

It's pouring so slowly, slowly I begin to pack and turn my thoughts towards home. How's the rest of our family? Is Kentucky getting any rain? Wonder what's going on in my garden? Hope there's no water leaks in the house.

Philip needs a plane book & I want to get chocolate - so we head off to town with Antje & Chris. Do you think 27 chocolate bars is sort of over-kill? They weigh a ton.Wonder if they'll melt before we get home? Great! And that 27 doesn't count the bags of goodies I bought. Philip buys a Grisham book and I find the Welch Girl by Peter Ho Davis. Haven't found it in the states - it's on the Booker short list.

Still there's time to visit, laugh - explore. Saturday, we go to the flea market and wander. I'm having trouble walking so our ventures have to be shorter than I'd like. Oh well ... next year I'll be running around on these legs again.

Being with Antje & Chris is so enjoyable. I supppose I tease Chris unmercifully - but push comes to shove; he's someone I want in my corner.

I brought him Blackjack acorns from Oklahoma. Wonder if they'll grow. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little of Oklahoma in Summago? I need to seriously work on those pecan saplings.

Our last evening; we drive over the hill to this interesting restaurant - really good Swiss food served in the most unique way (small shovels for butter/rolls). There's a beautiful full moon we see as we leave the restaurant. The ride home gives us wonderful glimpses of Zurich at night. I'll keep the image in my mind's eye until next time.
