Building swings for the children

rs. On the way to the hospital I stopped by a shopping center to buy some string for two swings we are building on our ground. I was the first to test them and even took a child on my lap. Everything was fine, so we invited the children and they have now so much joy and used them the whole day. I used to have a similar swing in our home on the countryside in Switzerland where I grew up and I got back all my remembrances...
