Keeping it in perspective

March 31, 2006

The préfecture incident has caused me much reflection over the past few days. I will admit my first reaction was anger at the fact that a préfecture would inform me in 2004 that Ohio was not a reciprocal state for exchanging driving licence with France two years after Ohio was included in this exchange. The [...]

Parc fun

March 30, 2006

We spent a couple hours at the park behind Eglise St-Florent in Cronenbourg. There are several parks all over Strasbourg and we visit many of them when the weather is warm. The girls love visiting all the parks each one having different play equipment than the other. I enjoy seeing a new part of Strasbourg. [...]

Demonstrators poured out in the hundreds of thousands demanding fair treatment of immigrants. It worked! Senate Panel has approved the Immigration Bill. Feinstein won approval for the five-year program to permit as many as 1.5 million agriculture workers into the country. “It will provide the agriculture industry with a legal work force and offer agriculture [...]

Mumbling

March 27, 2006

Don’t mind me….I am just sitting here yawning like a big ol’ cat. Boy Blue woke up last night with a temperature of 102.2 degrees F. I know, I know. One of my kids are aways sick. Two weeks ago it was the girls and their Papa. Now, Boy Blue. I have been up since [...]

Beautiful old things make me happy

March 26, 2006

A picture of the headboard to an antique bed that we bought last year. A close up of the detail on the headboard. Unfortunately, we are unable to use the bed at the moment. We can’t find a mattress to fit it without special ordering one due to the measurements (I think it is 110×190). [...]

Oh…baby, bébé !

March 26, 2006

When we first moved to France, it was with a 14 month old and a 2 month old baby in tow. No problem, right? Well, you’d think. However, during those first months of life in France, just thinking about going to the grocery gave me a headache. I hated walking through rows and rows of [...]

A blurp that turned into a belch

March 25, 2006

My recent post people are people stirred up ‘some people’. I really didn’t think it was such a big deal. I was simply posting that people in bloggie world make questionable posts and like with anything else don’t believe everything you hear or read. Some people are not good at adjusting to another country. They [...]

Beware, bear will bite!

March 25, 2006

The other night just after putting the two stinker girls to bed, Mr. Pie and I looked at each other and smiled. All was quiet. Hah! RIGHT! Those two brats were screaming away. So, I went in there to see about clubbing them into unconsciousness. I demanded from Sweet Bear what in the world was [...]

Kids say and do the darndest things

March 24, 2006

I have had more than my share of good laughs at the expense of my children. All parents do. They are just too funny and too darn cute that we can’t help it. I don’t want to forget these funny moments. So, I have started a static page called Kid tales and it can be [...]

People are people

March 23, 2006

I have been surfing out in bloggie land and have recently seen some strange tales of life in France. These tales by these particular expats are not true or could be told by an expat living in America, England, Germany or what-have-you. Please, when you are reading blogs on the internet understand that another person [...]

Mama got some new shoes!

March 22, 2006

Someone asked demanded to see pics of my new shoes. Well, I am not one to disappoint or leave others in suspense. So, without further ado, the pictures are below. Nothing too exciting. As I mentioned before, the shoes must match all of my (3) outfits which translates into boring shoes. The shoes are Esprit [...]

Springing out of winter hibernation

March 22, 2006

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, our family spent the weekend outdoors walking through the center of Strasbourg (Sunday) and along the Garden of Two Shores (Saturday). We crossed over the beautiful and impressive bridge by foot from France into Germany. Because, I am a terrible mother and blogger I forgot to bring my camera [...]
