Opening the doors and windows (without screens) for fresh air - and keeping them open all day
...when it gets really hot and humid, the air conditioning option is definitely a plus!
 |
| Love the cool breeze...and nothing really seems to fly in! |
Remote controls to open and close windows in certain rooms (like our bedroom) that once open, close automatically if it starts to rain
...hard for anything window-related to top that!
Really good, fresh food from the grocery store that seems to cook itself
...grocery stores that stay open past 8 pm, and on Sundays...just in case!
Being able to walk to the grocery store
...being able to drive the groceries home from the grocery store!
Seeing my old pal "Fritz"
...seeing our own cat, Annie! Although I'm pretty sure she's decided I abandoned her and left her with Patrick, so it could be a pretty cool reception...

| Guess who was right outside our apartment door when I went to leave last night? |
Views of the Alps
...views of NYC from just the right spot on Oak Ridge! And of course, the infamous..."look at the Bay" when we get to Door County!
 |
| The view never gets old...but it's much better in person...hint, hint! |
My iPhone 4S and my favorite app - Instagram
...my good old Droid with the BEST navigation system ever (and I think they just added Instagram for android devices...yay!)
Practicing my "Deutsch" or should I say "Schweizerdeutsch" skills everywhere I go (yeah, right)
...being able to understand MOST of the people I need to talk to (yeah, right...I am going to NJ...)
Meeting all kinds of new people (hmmm...have I really done that??)
...seeing lots of friends and family! (except of course, Steve - but he's going to be spending a lot of time away from Zurich this summer anyway, and coming to the US a few times - so how much different will it really be??)
And of course, once I get home, I can flush the toilet all night long if I want to!!! :)
Yay! Flush away! The windows are so cool... but I'm going to miss Fritz the most!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to "look at the Bay" with you!
