My Summer Trip to Germany, Switzerland, and France

I get up very early these days since I am recovering from jet lag. I love the early hours because they are quiet and peaceful and I have them all to myself. What a treat! It takes awhile for me to adjust and get back into the groove. ​

Walking in the high mountains of the Bernese Alps

Do you remember when I wrote about packing light? Well, I didn't this time. Whenever we have a car, we seem to overdo it. We took a lot of stuff to the village for the wedding: gifts, dresses and shoes just for the wedding. What can I say? My grand nephew really liked his Hawaiian shirt and the flip flops were also a hit. Originally  we had planned on returning with an empty canvas bag. However, both my husband and I managed to fill it up. My husband bought a gargoyle at a garden show in our little town where we stayed for my niece’s wedding. I managed to fill up the rest of the bag.

These are different teas I bought, one claims to make you happy.

I bought these in my favorite delicatessen store in Frankfurt.

My husband likes gargoyles

Cooking helps me to reconnect and what is better than a good breakfast. ​

These banana pancakes might do the job ( klick here for the recipe ).

These crustless little mini-quiches or muffins also make a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are filled with vegetables and even taste good cold
