Since weve arrived in Switzerland, we have tried to shed a little light onto this extraordinary, unusual and truly exotic life in Bougy.  For those of you who have not been tracking these updates, they include The Bougy Report, or Xmas in Bougy.  And in this latest, we have to start with something really huge.  Heavy too.  A new washing machine.  The one that came with the house finally gave out.  The good news was that we had brought a brand new one with us from the US.  The bad news?  It was in the basement.  Not for long with these two beefy dudes.

Its as we always say here..."I didnt have two boys so that I would have to (fill in the blank with the most unattractive task you can imagine)".  But that also applies to the good things.  Like going to Zermatt, where we managed to get not once but twice this spring.  Thats a good spring.

More glamour?  Not the photo.  The retainer!  This is another big highlight of this year in Bougy.  Now - if we could only find a way to keep from leaving it wherever we go or crushing it in the pocket during soccer games, we would be in really good shape.

As you can see - there is no end to the drama and the excitement.  Had to share a little of it with you.
