Was it just another day?




No, not just another day.

We got to spend time with family.   That makes it a special day..... read on....


 Saturday  was a fun day.  
 Early start with Tanners game.  This is very elementary with the boys 5 - 7 and adult pitching and everyone gets to hit.   They are easily distracted, but have fun.  That is the way sport should be, especially at age 7 !






Then we went to the Swiss Club Hall in Monroe. 

















We took the scenic route...  
                            Cattle country
                                         The bluest skies you'll ever see
                                                  And beyond...



  Since our visit to Switzerland, Damon has been very interested in Swiss heritage.   ( Darrell, Damon and I are all members now, but that is another story )
The Seattle Club sponsored this fondue event  ( $25 each and bring a side dish ).  So, Damon, Tiffany, Sebastian and I went.   The fondue was delicious.  














There was this one couple.  I think they missed dessert.  They finished off the last drop of fondue and added a little more of the liquid ingredient and ......





There were great side dishes.  






Wonderful desserts...I brought cupcakes.... sent most of them home with Damon to take to church... Sebastian was the only person under the age of about 30  ðŸ˜Š     But he seemed to enjoy the time.    Someone brought several boxes of Swiss memorabilia  to give away. They are moving. 


 So we brought home two records, two candles, one t shirt and one egg cup.  Sebastian brought home a game
Everything is in German, so ↓  they made up their own rules.  





It started at 3 and was over about 5:30.  So we had time to head over the the mall and listen to the music. The man at the keyboard recognized us   ( I think I know why, but don't ask )  He is more "entertaining" in a different way, than our favorite Andy  Markovick , but that is another story.     Tonight he wore a dark blue kimono style jacket.   Last time, he was all in red.

Yes, I live an exciting life
