[Idyllchat] Baseball and Football

[Cornelia Sullivan]

Hi everybody!

Well, I can say that I may be lucky to live in the region you all like to
travel a lot and spend your vacation! I enjoy it very much! But.....

But you have no idea how lucky you all are that you can go to watch Baseball
games over and over again! You can choose a dozen channels in TV if you are
interested in watching another game not near to you! How I wish (and my
family!!!) we would have this "spirit" around us! We have mountains, yes,
but there is hardly no Baseball!!! Ok, it's a little lie, because we do have
Baseball here too but not like the Dodgers, the Giants, the Rockies, the
Yankees (we just named our new cat we got two days ago Yankee!), and of
cores the Red Sox's! Right before the final games best of 7 started, right
in time for the first game we where able to get over a new television
company the channel NASN, so we have been able to watch all the games,
unfortunately only 4! I wish the Rockies would have won some games too
because we didn't want to end it so fast! Now we have to wait until next
season to watch Baseball again! It's so sad, you know? How about an
exchange: I'll give you one mountain, maybe the Rothorn, and you give us the
Giant's stadium! Ok? Next one coming to Switzerland can hand it over to me
so I can place it in a perfect spot!

News from Switzerland: Beritt is doing fine after her surgery. I saw her at
the hospital, because she and my daughter had their surgeries the same day
with the same doctor!!!! I think she is in recovery now.
We had some very fogy days lately, hardly saw any sun, unless we went up to
Glaubenberg or so. There it's just perfect! Down here we miss the sun! But,
after some really cold days it's getting a little bit warmer now and we did
not have a lot of rain at all! The colored leaves are falling down from the
trees and nature is soon getting to rest.

We were able to let our children go for Trick or Treat on Halloween -
something new in Switzerland! Now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving soon
- as you are too! It's nothing Swiss would celebrate, but after me and my
family are in the Swiss-American-Society of Lucerne, we are celebrating some
of America's nice holidays together! I have to order a real big turkey, but,
as you might know, we do not have space in the stove for a bigger turkey
than about 14 pounds! Not enough room in there! I have to prepare
pumkin-puree by myself because we can't get it at the Migros or Coop! And
also cranberry-sauce I have to cook myself, but I like the self-made much
better anyway! 

As you see, you can live wherever you want - there is something (or more
things) you always will miss!

Have a nice fall,
Connie from Heartland, Switzerland
