Resting and thinking
Sitting outside on our second floor balcony this morning. Yesterday Rich and I went out and purchased a four piece patio group: couch, two chairs and a coffee table, I must say that sitting here under this canopy in the fresh air with birds singing is very relaxing!
We had a wonderful time in Salzburg last weekend. Not only did we get in some great sights but Rich did quite well in the Marathon- 26.2 mi in 4:22:29..his sixth best out of 17! This weekend is more of an R&R- catching up on a few things at home. Next weekend Chris and Linda will be here to hang-out as well....we're so blessed to have family living so close. Wow, I wish you could hear the beautiful bells going off from town; I just love them so.
Rich and I keep finding ourselves "homesick" for Germany..we were kind of waiting to see if it was just passing dream...but it's not; here we are in Switzerland living in the middle of the Alps- {and don't get me wrong, we love it here} however we find ourselves planning trips to Germany, where we feel so at home. So sometime within the next few years we plan to buy a "home" in the Bavarian area where the boy's grew up. They are just as excited about it as we are!

Salzburg
Hello everyone, tomorrow morning Rich and I will leave for Salzburg Austria. Rich- along with some friends from the Embassy will be running the Salzburg Marathon on Sunday; we decided that since our friends haven't been there before- we'd leave a few days early and show them around! Our Anna sent us her Flat Stanley which arrived yesterday...so he will be joining our team as well. Today he went to the Embassy with Rich, "I understand he's having a great time"!
We were able to Skype with everyone except Corey on Mothers Day "although he was able to call me". It was fun seeing everyone; it's been awhile. Craig, Trista and the kids are doing fine; the new Baby will "probably" arrive in February {big surprise there!} And as far as we know right now his or her name will be Reese. Shealynn and Brady are getting so tall and are excited to have a new brother or sister join the family.
Chris, Marissa and Charlotte are great. Marissa was enjoying her very first Mothers Day and Charlotte was being adorable on the camera! She'll be 6mos old when I get to hold her again, but now at 3mos she is Chris's mini me! As long as she's with her Mom and Dad- all's right with her world.
And for all of you who are asking about Corey's MCAP; he was unable to take the test as planned due to the fact that he was so focused on the studies, he neglected to "renew" his drivers license and his new passport hasn't arrived yet...so Corey was unable to provide a proper ID {this will be a story for his grandchildren} LOL However; he is rescheduled to take the test June 6th....Here's hoping all goes well!!

Here we go again
Are we having fun or what!?! Rich received a text this morning from our oldest son Craig; his wife Trista is expecting child number three!!!! Grandchild number four is on the way and as soon as we're able to speak with them I'll have more details. Needless so say- Rich and I are thrilled and pray for a safe pregnancy.
With our day being now early evening, I can say we accomplished a lot today. Rich planted all the geraniums in the window boxes-- all 45 of them! There going to look beautiful this summer. We're in for another nice weekend with temps reaching 75...nice but not hot!

Happy May
Items continue to arrive for our Fisher Family Vacation, this is truly going to be a wonderful week for everyone! And extra special will be the additional week the kid's will be giving us to explore Switzerland. Rich and I were hopeful that our two older Grandchildren would be able to stay on for a few weeks after; however with an upcoming wedding in October and due to the rising place of plane tickets..we wouldn't be able to return with the children until October. Since School begins for them in September-- it would have been an unacceptable request of us. Perhaps Halloween might be an option this year.
With the resent death of Osama Bin Laden, life around the world has become a life of being on alert, don't get me wrong, no-matter where we live we're always more attentive to details of our surroundings {although I must admit I'm not very good at this}...especially when I'm shopping; "totally oblivious to whats going on around me!" Anyway, in a perfect world all would be over-done-with...however I think everyone remains on alert for yet another shoe to drop.
