This is a long story.
Our visit to Switzerland was especially meaningful because we were able to spend time with my cousin...actually, first cousin to my father.
( would love to know if there are any photos that you especially like )
This is their home ...the terrace...you can see the reflection of Lake Zurich on the windows.

At Coco's you fit in beautifully with the models in black!
Love you on the red stairs...
Was Darrels "baguette" a croissant?
What aare the golden roses by you at dinner?/ Purse? In Paris.
Wouldn't say yum, here, but yum yum looks very good.
Love you posing with a Recipese lady!!
Are Colin & Margaret relatives?? Funny faces!!
In " a real palace" what a comfortable tufted lounge!
Beautiful "High Tea"...
The fondue makes me hungry!!
The Baguette was really a baguette. they made it special for him since it is not the usual breakfast treat.
Will have to check the golden roses, they are on another post.
Margaret is Darrell's cousin. There were many "funny" faces during those 4 days.
the Fondue was the highlight
high tea second
and crepes came in third
But, all the celebrations were great !
the golden roses....on my brown purse ! I had not noticed.
The pictures are well worth a 3rd perusing....noticed several Love in a Mist...(Nigella) seed pods in sunflower picture (lower, far right). It is a favorite of mine both the flower and the dried seed pods for a dried bouquet for winter.
Your Mother would have not liked the heights!!
