here we are !

hello to the world !! this is the first post and at the same time a first test. i am creating this blog especially for all our friends far away who would like to keep in touch and see what we are up to. i don't know whether i should rewind time and start a few years back, or just start from today.

i would like to start by introducing who we are and posting a few pics, hope i manage to place them on the blog somehow . . . . i am not a techno-genie. this is for people who have not seen us in some time and others who would just like to have a look at us once in a while.

i have been thinking long what language to post in. but probably my typing skills are best in english at this stage and my keyboard is not geared to type some of the german characters. - further, i assume that english is a language that most people understand to some extend . . . . so this is what it will be.

our 'old' computer crashed last week due to a mechanical hard disk failure. unfortunately all our pictures went down the drain, which, in my opinion, was the saddest part about loosing our 1.5 year old toshiba. so, please, if anyone has got some pics i sent out to them, i would be more than happy if you could send them back to me to re-stock my picture archive. thanks !!

i have no clue how regularly i will be able to post on here. the idea is something like twice a month or so, but don't know if i will be able to stick to it.

ok, then the name. it is a combination of daisy and elie, who the blog is all about. at the same time it means 'little daisy' in swiss german, as the ending "-li" is the diminuitive form of any noun.

good start, wasn't it ?? un abrazo a todos !!
