SCHOPFHEIM R O C K S ! ! !

Roger and I have decided our family and friends really need to visit us here in JULY!

We thought we would go for a quiet walk down to the shops this morning, buy a few things from the markets (lovely fresh farm eggs, etc) and then go to our favourite little supermarket - Neukauf. We got down the street and the place was literally rocking. Cafes, shops, grills, music, etc all out in the street. It was amazing. WE LOVE IT. Needless to say shopping took us a lot longer than we anticipated. Oh how we would have loved to share our enjoyment with our kids. One day.

If you do come to Schopfheim and it's not in July, you at least have to come over a Saturday so that you can enjoy the usual Saturday market.

We were then ensconced in watching Wimbleton when the doorbell rang and 'someone' handed Roger a jar of Australian honey! The someone was actually Steve riding his bike from Switzerland out to Zell. He had his helmet on so Roger didn't recognize him at first. Then both Stephen and Sharyn called in on their way home and we had a great catch-up. They are Aussies and have lived in Switzerland for about 5 years I think. They are from South Australia. We love catching up with Aussies, I don't know, it's just something special.

Roger had to go to the Doctor this afternoon. His glands are up on the right side of his neck and he isn't a happy chappy. Personally I think it's something to do with his teeth, but he won't be told. I think it's time we both visited the Dentist. Yikes, I don't even want to think about it!

Must get off to bed, tomorrow is another day!!

I would love to come visit you in July...or any other time. It sounds so lovely.
I'm happy you have the opportunity to visit with your Aussie buddies -those ties are very special, and it almost makes you feel like your back home!
Take Care of Roger - infected glands are nothing to take lightly..I will be praying!
Blessings!!!
PS
It's VERY hot here now...it's in the mid 90's. Pray for rain!

Thanks for your encouragement Pat. Rog still not good, so I will make sure to take good care of him.
We'd like a little sun here. Has gone back to winter!
