Taking the day to spend with Mom and the boys. Trying to figure out where to go where we will all have fun - given the potential impending rain - without back tracking over territory that we have visited time and time again.
Think I have found a little swiss town on the outskirts of town that will work. It has the opportunity for a nature hike - Which we will all enjoy and must admit the exercise is well overdue. If the rain falls we have an antique shop - which I think will fit all of us as long as there is a book section, a glass section and a furniture section. We should all be occupied then. Also included is a cheese and chocolate specialty shop and a winery - with three of us at drinking age I think the last will definitely work well. A range of restaurants - though I think they will weigh heavily to German/Swiss fare. Oh well - that is what the exercise is for.
The roads there wind quite a bit - and as I recall this is the area where we learned that smart cows pasture to the right and less mentally endowed cows to the left. Can't really explain this - but it is a family myth that has stayed with us over time. The good news is that if we travel back on the same roads the cows of lesser intelligence do seem to magically become enhanced on the return trip!
Looking forward the excursion.
Just have to peal the cats off of Mom now. They seem to be magnetically drawn to her lap. Guess they like having her around and are trying to convince her she belongs in that spot on the sofa (I concur).
So off we go - I just have to remember to keep my hands on the wheel - and my eyes on the road - rather than on my camara - Hope one of the boys will man the lens for me.
Ciao from cow country..........enjoy your weekend and hug the ones you love!
