Go See It!

On Monday Nathan and I went to go see this movie.Just like everything in Switzerland it was expensive. Monday is the cheap day...just twelve francs as opposed to the usual 17 francs. Oh, and don't let me forget to mention that there is no matinee price. Goodness gracious.

Well, it was so worth it. I laughed and laughed and laughed...and Nathan loved it too. Meryl Streep is so good as Julia Child, it was so fun to watch.

Anyway, highly recommended by me.

Picnic at the Ringger's

Friday before last, the Ringger family in Basel invited us for a picnic/BBQ at their home. The Ringgers are a really wonderful family here in Switzerland that Nathan got to know while he was working for Herzog and deMueron in Basel. He was in their ward and he considers them his Swiss family. They are really generous people and invite us over to their house every fast Sunday for dinner and Nathan practices with the family band. The family band performed at this picnic and at the end of the evening they surprised us with a with a wedding cake. A lot of friends from the ward showed up to the picnic as well and they gave us a huge basketful of food that everyone had donated towards. We stayed late playing games, watching a movie and then spent the night and took the train home the next morning.

Set up in the backyard. The weather was amazing that day.

Many thanks to the Ringger family!
