Blessed Lenten Season

Somber Time

On this day- my brother’s birthday- my father died four years ago, a blessed end, with much of his family around, just before lockdowns hit. It was 12:20, 20-02-2020 (or 02-20-2020 in American numeration of dates). I was there by video. Last week his brother died, 95 years old, also a blessed end with family around and at peace and ready for heaven. May we all pray for such an end, with a Christian family as our legacy. 

As life goes on. 
 This past weekend some of us went to look at a property for sale. A very old, furnished restaurant/house, rambling all over the place in Appenzell. Anybody interested in cheap rent and lots of room for your business? 




With as many chairs as you could want. 



Commercial kitchen, freezers, etc.



Folk art furnishings 


A marvelous ballroom with great acoustics 



With a painted ceiling - one of only two left in the canton. 


Depicting the cantonal folk and their culture 


And flora and fauna


And original log structure attics


Where the community still meets for its festivities.

A piece of history.
