the good life in ticino

the good life in ticino......, let's not think about financial troubles, today was one of the best. hefty temperatures, 27 degrees at 18.30. big boy on top of a mountain at linescio. little boy on top of a mountain at arcegno(accompanied by trustworthy parents, that is to be said). and mom and dad free to do what ever they want. so dad proposed....insisted, to take mom on a spin on the bike(the beautiful pearl white yamaha she gave him on a whim). off to palagnedra for a drink at maria's. turns and twists. it has been 18 years or so ago that i fell asleep on the back of a motorcycle, today i am all uptight, not going with the flow as the driver wishes. after seeing the beautiful mountains, lush and green, where you could get lost and not find your way back, we roarded up the engine and went to the lake at ascona to have a drink at a friends beachbar. mojito and strawberry daiquiri's gogo(sorry linda, i went a bit off track). what else could be better in life than enjoying a warm evening on a lakefront in good company. after reminiscing the good old days of having a ball with the kids at the beach, back to our house. our little paradise, when you are off of work, it is 20 something degrees and do not have troubles with teenage sons, i did the thing i appreciate the most, dive into my pool. we have a second hand kitchen, but we have the ultimate dream, a swimmingpool in the backyard. while i was having a dip in the perfect temperatured water, hubby dear threw some shrimp on the grill and with a glass of wine or two, we ended the evening in bliss. i wish for more days of these to come.
