The Beauty of Switzerland...take me there now!!!

[paragraphs]

Nick is in Switzerland. Those close to us know just why this sucks so bad.

Just a few more days to endure though...although, sigh, N was bad TWICE today and called from his cell phone. If you can imagine, this was not a good idea...international rates suck, but international rates with him in another country? OY OY OY OY EEK!!!!!!

I told Nick we should put a paypal button on our lj's... LOL. But, considering what we USED to pay in phone charges, back in the early days four-ish years ago...this is nothing, now.

Having a long-distance relationship isn't that difficult--IF there is a phone. We talk...often. Lots. Every day, sometimes 7-8 times a day, morning noon and night. Chat on gmail just doesn't hold a candle to that little rectangle pressed against one's ear, with that wonderful voice on the other end. We don't like to whine, of course--we have too many friends who have long-distance loves who aren't able to travel like we can, due to family situations, work situations, etc. We are very, very fortunate. VERY.

But I want my N back in Kiel. I want that phone talk back!

It has been odd. I thought, whilst he was in Switzerland with family (sis and family live there) that I would be pounding the keyboard, writing my heart out, etc. etc....but I find that not to be true.

Instead, I have been STARVING for People. I spent all day yesterday on gmail, chatting away to 3-4 friends...do you guys have ANY idea how much of a life-saver that was? HUH? No, of course not...but thank heavens for you all.

In any case (gosh I love to say that!) Nick is in Switzerland, with his new camera, and I am making him take lotsa pictures. He's posted a link to an amazing sideshow in his lj...this just from one day's drive with the 'rents up to the higher mountains to find snow.

For a few moments of peace and beauty, check it out, won't you? I will be so very happy if you did.

NOT SOON ENOUGH! LOL.

Got lots to accomplish between now and then..including, saving up the money to go to Wales. OY!

I know how you feel. We're saving up to move, and we still need to make trips to work on the house. :)

Beautiful picture but at this point I have HAD IT with snow.

I want snow--just once--but I admit, I am grateful to live in Texas (though the proximity to Shrub's new house is disturbing).

Those were fantastic, but make me long to see that area of the world again.

Nick went to Zürich today...the pictures are unreal. I'm going to make him put those up too--I am so bossy :)

I am going to print them all off, I swear... :)

I don't cook but I also don't like cockroaches either, so I clicked on the link and I'm glad I did. Those are some fantastic shots!
