The ExPat Writer: Pen lover
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015/08/pen-lover.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Sunday, August 02, 2015. Almost identical to the pen I bought in a WOCCU silent auction. My plume is deep green. I learned to print in first grade in Reading MA. Half way thru the year, I transferred to a private school in Bluefield WV. There I was expected to write cursive without mistakes on ink drops. Infractions brought a sharp hit on the wrist with all too-ready ruler. I write almost everything by c...

DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Saturday, August 01, 2015. It is not fair. This summer has had almost unbearable heat week after week. Rain was limited to drips and drabs less then a handful of fingers. Today is the Swiss National Day. It is raining. All the bbqs rained out. Posted by DL NELSON. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe To http:/ theexpatwriter.blogspot.com. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Math and open mindedness. We both do it.

The ExPat Writer: I never tire of beauty
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-never-tire-of-beauty.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Thursday, August 13, 2015. I never tire of beauty. There's a reason I take many pictures off the balcony over looking the lake. It is always beautiful. The low cloud hovers in a way that makes the Jura look suspended. The day before the clouds looked like snow on the Jura. I often miss the sunsets because we are doing other things. Posted by DL NELSON. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dumb, dumb, dumb.

The ExPat Writer: July 2015
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Friday, July 31, 2015. Still in the hospital. Writing on the iPad is not as easy as my keyboard, although I am use to switching from the American to the Swiss And back again. The only reason I am still here is that I am still draining too much fluid. Dr. M says four to seven days is normal. Still it will be nice to not have too little bottles attached to me, be back home and reunited with my laptop.

The ExPat Writer: One more chapter
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015/08/one-more-chapter.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Saturday, August 08, 2015. My mother, grandmother, father were all bathroom readers. As was my ex-husband who would respond, "one more chapter" if I were to knock on the door during his tenure inside. It is a habit I haven't lost either. Bathroom reading by nature needs to be shorter or one risks strange marks on the back of legs. Copies are always in the downstairs toilet. Posted by DL NELSON.

The ExPat Writer: Seasonal confusion
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015/08/seasonal-confusion.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Saturday, August 08, 2015. Rick came back from shopping told me to get my camera and go out on the balcony. Today it is in the low 90s but the cloud hanging on the top of the Jura resembled blessed snow. Looking to the left, a tree that is usually green had already put on its fall clothing, perhaps in hopes for a break from the heat. Posted by DL NELSON. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The ExPat Writer: A little mole
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-little-mole.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Wednesday, August 05, 2015. Look carefully to see a mole hiding from the scarey humans. The walk to the lake is down a shaded stone path. We try and get down there every night for at least a short time either for a walk or just to enjoy the beauty. Last night a movement caught my eye. At first we thought it was a mouse but it turned out to be a mole of some undetermined species. Posted by DL NELSON.

The ExPat Writer: May 2015
http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
DL Nelson is an American-born Swiss writer and journalist. Visit her website www.donnalanenelson.com. Sunday, May 31, 2015. I make no bones about selfies. I do not like selfies. People smirking at a camera are just not interesting. Even if there's some major tourist attraction behind them like an Eifel tower or a castle - THEY ARE STILL BORING! I'd much rather see a photo of Mom putting stuffing in the turkey, or Auntie laying the top crust of the apple pie. This little girl could have stopped and smiled...
