BASEL CHRISTMAS MARKET

We took a morning and went to Basel to see the Christmas market there with Marlies and Gretel.
Here outside Gretel's apartment is a blooming bush! In the middle of December! The market is arranged like a small European village decorated for Christmas.
It is quite cute . . .. . . with lots of pretty stuff to buy (we didn't). . .

. . . including delicious food! . . .
. . .and Christmas decor. Not the best picture of me, huh? But you can see the gorgeous lighted paper stars behind us.
A pretty, festive time!

Hi Michaelene and Leonard,
We got your blog address from Lucille... so glad to see the pictures and read about your mission. What a great experience. We are looking forward to our service. Hope we get to go somewhere exciting like you have. If you run across any Schlupps, or variation of that spelling, they will be my relative. My Great Grandfather and Grandmother came from Schluppburg, Switzerland. We hope to travel there someday. May the Lord Bless you! We are all fine. Can hardly wait to hear about all the mission stories. Hope you will give a fireside at your home when you return... thank you for your friendship!
Love to you both,
Becky and John Dennis
