My new iPad mini!!

I love it… I love it… I love it…

The anticipation and tracking was fun too!! I am still looking for a case/cover… there are so many choices out there and more to come!! I decided not to get the Apple smart cover (too expensive) but one which covers the whole iPad. As for the colour… maybe a nice soft pink dusty rose... like this one from Amazon when it's available for the mini.  We'll see!!

Maya Wirz "Schweizer Talent 2011"

Maya Wirz is the winner of "Schweizer Talent 2011". The Susan Boyle of Switzerland with an amazing voice. Her every day job is driving a City Bus, but hopefully with her talent she'll have a career in singing. Her first CD "Mein Traum" (my dream) is absolutely stunning!! I am not an expert, just an opera fan and I like beautiful music. It is pure pleasure to listen to her great voice. I do hope there will be more Maya Wirz CDs in the future, perhaps a Christmas Album. I can hear her singing "Silent Night"!!

A voice from heaven. Thank you Maya!

Check out her Website!

My new balcony... finally!!

 

So far I am happy with this summer and it's because I finally fixed my balcony. I love it!! It's so nice to be out there... reading a good book or playing Scrabble on my iPad... if it's not too hot and humid. I also love these summer evenings with a cool breeze. So nice!

The only thing I missed from my house was the backyard patio and sitting out there in the summer time. But now I can enjoy a small version of this on my new balcony. Perfect!!



Upper Canada Village

We went there with my sister Lotti from Switzerland and my friend Norma on June 13th 2009. Nice pictures... most of them my sister took. Great memories!!
