From our chalet deck....

 

.....another great Kodak moment.

A beautiful sunset on the mountain tops....

.....this was really a great sight.

Notice the larger can of string beans....

on the left for 1.50 CHF ($1,65) and the smaller name brand in the upper right for 2.35 CHF ($2.62) That is a regular size can of beans.  Apple sauce in can for $2.20 or in a bottle for $1.10.  Everything is expensive here in Switzerland.

This is Daniel Burgi....

....my cousin's other son.  He is 24 years old and a college student and in the Army.

What happens when the right hand doesn't know....

....what the left hand is doing.  In this case the right hand of Jo Ann is taking the picture and the left hand of Bill is still leveling the page.  This is what you get.  This will not pass auditing.

Our newest member of our Branch....

....in red.  Her name is "Ogee" and she is from Mongolia.

Here is one of the books from the 1870 census....

....and we have to take a flat picture of this???

The lake is fed by many springs.....

.... that run out and down the mountain.  There are many ducks on the lake and people feed them, like this Swiss gentleman.

This picture was taken at the ski area....

....our chalet is visible, but you have to know where to look.

This picture was taken from the ski area.....

....our chalet is the one in the center of the picture.

Any guesses on the black strip...

....you can click on the picture and enlarge it.

This is a little ski escalator....

.....for little skiers.  The little kids start here and learn how to turn and stop.

18 second video at the archives....

....this video is about a very difficult book to take pictures of.

This is part of a Winter Carnival in a town....

....near where we live.  They parade through the streets carrying heavy cow bells.  They dress up in old local costumes, the children have their faces painted, they sing, dance and drink.  I think they are celebrating just to forget the cold weather and all the snow.

This is a real home....

....that we pass each day as we come/go to the Archives.

This looks like a painted picture....

 

....this week we received about 3 feet of snow.

On our way home, we were treated....

.....with the beautiful scenery of Switzerland.

On our way to the Archives (at 7 AM)....

....it is still dark and we saw this car near our chalet.

Here is the path to get to & from....

.....our chalet to the garage where we park our car.  It's almost 3 feet deep.

It snowed for about 15 hours...

.....this is the railing on our deck.

Not generally available in the US....

....this is from our local grocery store.

Good Swiss meat....

....look in the upper left to see what kind of meat this is.
