Filling our days


Spring has arrived and we can't get the smiles off our faces!! Gone are the heavy coats, scarves, hats, gloves, socks, etc!! Even the heating has (just about) been turned off!! The trees are getting lovely new green leaves, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the tulips are bursting forth. We have so much to smile about.

Although life for us has had a big turn around with Roger's ALS, we are trying to remain positive and are doing pretty well. No one wants to see a long face, or to see misery, least of all us! The friends that surround us here in Schopfheim and Basel have been incredibly supportive and helpful as we face the uncertain future. But we all need to realize that we only have one day to live, and live it we must, to the very best of our ability. Our faith in God and trusting him for each day is the highest priority for us.

So, here we are having just climbed a rather tough 'hill' at the back of our home in Schopfheim, but the view is worth it, as you can see. We were with new friends Alan and Sandra, Fabiano and Debora. We were rewarded at the top with various drinks all round. I settled for champagne (!!) and Roger for a large glass of beer. Then we were ready for the walk down the hill.
