What a wonderful visit

I had a wonderful 6 weeks with my Daughter Psycho monkey.
She arrived on time and tired. She showed me her My space.

For the first week we had a daughter/mother week. Shopping, nails and hair... Plus Starbucks.. She got me hooked








Sadly her and my perm didnt stay. Hers fell out in 2 days so I wont go back. For those who live around Zürich don't have your hair permed at the place in Sihl City Mall.

She came around the Euro-Soccer Champ... So She and I cheered for Switzerland with other fans.




We stood at the Train station watching the big screen tv from a crowded street. This woman seem to have the best seat out there.
We were having fun then it rained... Psycho was still having fun dancing in the rain and the crowd left leaving us a TV all to ourselves. We were drenched in this icy rain
Sadly Swiss Loss...

By the time we walked to where the trains were being re-routed Psycho's lips were turning blue



We took her to france and I haven't uploaded all the pictures but there are some of her first weeks on my space. And a few more on Wulfgar's page

Wulfgar had his first beach trip and swam with Psycho in the cold English channel on the french side..
Here is her freezing as she tries to cheer him on..


We went to a famous road in France that is covered by the sea except for 2 times a day.


We surprised her and took her to Hollan as we visited some members of my WOW guild




I was trying to feed her icecream

We took her to Munich Germany where I once lived and visited some friends of mine. It was Christopher Street day



The biggest fun we had was exploring Benglen and the mossy fern gully. We even discovered a new one
Toward the end I was wishing I had more time to spend with her.

Psycho wearing a traditional Bavarian Dress. Mine actually before the CLT
Here she is trying Rösti a swiss delicacy.


I have more pictures and videos I will upload later...

Now that the Me me is over... What is going on in my world...
Well, there seems to be a problem with our residence permit. (you have to have this when living in another country. Without it you can not get a car, house or cells phones even..)

The problem is it hasn't came!

I have my VISA but not that and it has been 6 months almost...

So I called and was told we would have them mid-June...

But we need a car before Psycho monkey comes (my daughter will be here June 8th for 6 weeks. It is her first time over seas)
(May 17 2008)
So we went to the car dealer to see what we could do... He said all we need is a letter saying we would have it in June

The car on the lot has all the features and is perfect for us

As we were leaving we saw a small tent and what looked like a small fair..
So we went and it was a small rodeo.. They had a mechanical bull riding contest and lots of things for sell for horses, cowboy stuff or those hard to get US, Canada, Mexico or Aussie things

I got a cowboy hat and we decided to come back on Sunday with Wulfgar

(May 18 2008)
So I pulled out my boots and we took Wulfgar to see some horse and cows..





He watched them like a hawk and had a blast...

it was fun
(For more photos and videos click links above posts that say photos and videos)
May 19th 2008
Wulfgar saw Fire coming home from work and took off like white lightening and dragged me behind him like a cartoon

Can you say OW!

He is only 6 months old and half the size he will be when he is adult

A long week part 1

From Friday April 25th until April 29th (Tues) My mother-in-law and my father-in-law came to visit. This was my first stay the night visitors here.

I was so excited. I was getting everything caught up and my washer/dryer went on me. So I had to use the washer provided by my apartment and hang them to dry. They don't dry well in the washroom when it rains and it had rained for 3 days straight. It did stop for an hour or 2 - just long enough for me to plant my balcony flowers.

Then Thursday night (well actually it was Friday morning) at 2 am Wulfgar got sick. It was pretty bad.. We had to go by Taxi to the Vet and he ended staying the night and not coming home until 5pm on friday.

My rose box for the balcony and Fire's tool box came Friday afternoon but the guy wouldn't bring it up the stairs. He said no lift then I sit it right here.

I also baked a birthday cake for Fire's mom... The icing turned out too sweet.

Friday we visited around the neighborhood. It was just a small walk at night

On Saturday April 26th 2008- we took a walk and saw more of Benglen

I got to explore a small area I had not been yet...

Then we visited the lake in Fallenden


As well as the small waterfall..

Later we went to Zürich had a walk around the lake there and went to eat some Swiss Fondue.


Sunday April 27th 2008 we went to Zürich's waterfall the Rhienfall and then traveled to the Swiss Alps to see another waterfall...
(some of these were taking while driving)

They left Tues to head back to Baugé. The Ikea specialist came and fixed our Entertainment Stand... It took him all day from mourning until evening.

On Thursday our friends from Germany came to stay. Tina taught Wulfgar to lay down on command and we had a great picnic.. They left on Sunday and now I am Exhausted...

<<<<<< sadly all pictures were taken by Fire's camera >>>>>>

Below are videos- there will be more pictures later
