An Anniversary

 Yesterday marked 4 years since we moved to New Hampshire.

We first lived in an apartment.  We arrived before the furniture so Emily lent us an air mattress to use.  We got here on a Friday and furniture was delivered on a Sunday.

The only photos I have of the apartment complex are these day lilies.  There was quite a wide variety planted on the grounds.

No regrets on making the move from Maryland to New Hampshire.

In October of 2020 granddaughter spied the for sale sign on this house we now own, and the rest is history.

Where we stayed in Switzerland

 

This was our fourth trip with UnTours, the others being to Scotland, Barcelona, and Southern Spain. 

Our apartment was in Meiringen and as I shared before this was the view from the backyard. 

And to either side. 

We walked along here to get to town center, train station and shopping. 

This different sort of grill we used twice. Once for steaks and another time for wurst. 

The street side of this house was unassuming. 

We met the owner who lives in Basel. He grew up in this house that was his grandfather’s before his father’s. 

There is quite a collection of antiques including the carriage below. 

Peter, the owner, is responsible for converting the house to three apartments. We had the ground floor apt with kitchen, living room, bath and one bedroom. Our daughter and family were one flight up with more space including a sleeping loft. Another apt was above that. 

He told us the ground floor was once where the animals lived. He had to shovel it out. 

It really felt like home for our two weeks. 

Lilies and Day Lilies

 

These lovely blossoms were here waiting for me when I arrived home on Wednesday.  

Now to tackle the weeds that also grew while I was away. 

A Must Watch!
