Brunnehüsli Stories


Steven and Cristie and the children are now living outside of Zurich, Switzerland for three months. They are over in St. Gallen and in the Appenzellerland as much as possible! 

They have taken the cable car from Brülisau up to the Hoher Kasten and hiked down, with Chris and Amy's family. It's a tradition. Steven said as they got to the area, he recognized every house and every bend in the road. He could not believe how gorgeous it all is, and exactly the same as it used to be.

He said he has told the children at least seventy-five stories from his childhood, and they still want to hear more! He calls them "Brunnehüsli stories".
 Makes my heart happy.


Yes, he really did ride down from Hoher Kasten on the manure wagon that one time when Grandma's knees were bothering her and she couldn't walk anymore.

"Oh happy day!" (week)


The boys came.


                               The first thing we did was go to the woods, as in summers past.






                                             


                       We cooked, and ate yummy food. The boys made their specialties for us.


                         


                                               We went to the farm and worked.


                                                   
                                   
                                                           We went to church.



                                We watched movies. My favorite was "Paddington 2".

  And mainly we enjoyed every day with these two dear, big, wonderful boys.
