Swiss bits
My computer crashed so have been unable to post for some time. Was thinking of Tanya today as her stay here in America is about up. What a wonderful young lady! We so enjoyed her presence at our house. We took her to the top of Mount Diablo! As we were driving up the winding mountain road and looking down at the green surroundings she commented that it reminded her of home.
Another day we went to Sacramento Old town where we met the Peffermans and watched an old time shoot out. Ben recognized them as the same group that robbed our train when we took the Sacramento River Train ride about 6 months ago. Tanya found a turquoise ring that she said would remind her of going over the ocean to America.
Tanya got a glimpse of schools in California as she spent one afternoon at Ben's Language and Reading class and another morning at my friend Maria's 3rd grade class. The third graders loved her as she spent time telling them about Switzerland and answering questions. Then she entertained them with her lovely guitar and singing talents. They didn't want her to leave.
We found out that she likes playing games as we do at our house. She learned how to play Tripoly and beat us all the first night. She is taking back our extra game to teach her family in Switzerland. After she left us to return to Leo and Marge's, John said a few nights later that he missed her. So her called her to tell her if she wanted to play some more Tripoly that she could come over. She decided that she wanted to cook for us so she prepared a lovely meal for Leo, Marge, and three of us. Then it was back to a game of Tripoly.
I am sure that all of you Scheubers that have had time with her have some great memories.
