Something to Come Home To
I'm sorry this blog hasn't been terribly interesting lately, work is just sucking me dry at the moment. I worked from 8-6 pm straight with no breaks and no lunch (by the time I was hungry enough to put down my work and look for food the free pizza was long gone). Once I get home my brain is still going 100 miles an hour and it takes until bedtime till I can think about anything else, and then I get up the next day and start all over again. Luckily I have a wonderful husband who heard I was starving today and greeted me out at the picnic tables in front of our apartment with a snack plate and a glass of wine, and we chatted for a while and enjoyed the lovely weather. Fresh flowers were on the table when I came inside, and he then cooked me a yummy dinner. Did I marry a good man or what?

Voyage en Suisse
One of the gifts I got Backie for his 30th birthday (it was Monday) is a board game that he saw in a toy store once and was pretty excited about. It's called "Schweizer Reise/Voyage en Suisse/Viaggio in Svizzera/Tour of Switzerland" and, as the name suggests, is all about traveling to different towns in Switzerland and getting points for each place you visit:
Of course, Schoggi was interested in this new thing we were doing and promptly came to lay claim to the game box on the table:
After a few rounds he noticed we were actually moving things and decided to contribute by knocking all our game pieces off the board...
...and fiercely guarding the die:
Watching him was almost more fun than playing the game itself!
