More pics from Switzerland.  

 

First Cliff Walk

 

 

 

Lunch in Mürren. 

 

 

Mürren is a village that sits on a terrace next to a cliff at about 5400 feet above the valley floor.  The Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" had some scenes shot there in the late 60s (George Lazenby rather than Sean Connery 👎).  It's a popular place for base jumping.  I have a hard time even watching this video.  And no...neither my daughter not her husband are considering anything even close to this.

 

Fantastic photos.

Today to celebrate my birthday I got my stitches out from my Moh's surgery almost 2 weeks ago. Then this evening took the grandkids to chuck e cheese for a school fundraiser. Who knew Chuck E Cheese was so expensive. 

Happy Birthday 🎉

This "storm" is doing nothing but create a breeze and clouds.

Some spectators waiting for the show that never happened and a couple of disappointed surfers.

Anyone else been to Interlaken

 

We've been. Beautiful place. I didn't want to leave. All those and the subsequent pics are amazing. Glad the young couple are enjoying nice weather.

Poor Bobby is gone. In addition to his out-of-control hyperthyroidism, his last labs showed very poor heart and liver function. And then this past week, he developed ascites, with fluid building up and distending his abdomen. We were able to get him into the vet this morning. Poor baby, he was in pain, and we agreed to have him euthanized. He was the last of my mom's cats. It is for the best, but always so sad.

I’m so sorry Patti. The loss of a beloved family member is very hard. You made the right decision by not prolonging his suffering. I hope you comfort with the many great times and memories with him.

Sorry I missed it last night.  Just now seeing this.  Your right, now that it's here it's no longer live. 

 

That's okay, John. No need to be sorry about missing it. I guess "live" photos just don't stay "alive" after posting.

Same from me, Patti. I know you took good care of him as long as you could, and your mom knows that too @Coralc

I'm really sorry. It is never easy to lose them.

@Coralc Oh Patti, so sorry for the loss of your dear Bobby. 

I want to second Greg's and Dani's replies. I couldn't have 'said' it better than them.

So tough to make that decision, we are down to one cat and poor Joebob limps around wife takes him for shots to help but he seems happy.

Physically it's getting harder to get around especially as the day goes on.  My spirit is still fine.  Prayers from around the world surely makes a difference. 

My insurance is covering a really nice customized motorized wheelchair for me that is supposed to be delivered in a couple of weeks.  They fitted me for it before we went to Lakeside several weeks ago.  The plus side of me losing so much weight is that I am getting a narrow one that will easily move around the house. 

I am looking forward to cruising in a few weeks.  It will be a 5 day cruise and will let us have a better idea if we can handle future ones.

So beautiful. Thank you for gently loving him throughout. I believe our precious animals will greet us joyously on the other side. If we love them so much, can you imagine how precious they are to the heart of the God who created them.💝

Recommendations for people buying something online from a company you've never dealt with before:

--Always use a credit card (not a debit card) and use a "special" card that you don't normally use.

Credit vs debit is because you have more consumer fraud protections with a credit card than with a debit card.

Using a "non-normal" card is because if something does go wrong, you don't have to cancel and resubscribe all your auto-pay bills to your regular card when you get it replaced.  

Great suggestions....and exactly what we do.   I like using amex for online purchases as they protect you and give you an instant refund when you run into a problem.

 

So sad there are so many frauds, scammers, etc out there.   I always think they could make even better money putting their computer knowledge to good use.
