I have been searching for a reason to keep blogging since I am no longer an expat. I have been busy organizing and baby proofing in my mother’s house while at the same time catching up with my family that I haven’t been able to blog much. I
have decided that blogging is helpful to me [...]

Getting back into the swing of blogging
Life keeps on going
We have decided to move back to America. I don’t know if I will be able to post during the next few months until we have completed the move due to not having assess to a computer.
I am not happy to be leaving France. France has become my second home. The problem is that I [...]
Everyone knows that communication is important in any relationship…
Can someone, please, explain this fact to the idiot currently in the Oval Office?
While in Strasbourg recently, I took this photo. The words around George Bush, Jr’s head read, “USA disconnecting people.”

From a kid’s perspective
Sweet Bear got a hold of my camera, again! She took this shot of flowers located in my inlaws backyard. Their backyard is very nice with a huge shade tree and a small garden. All my children enjoy it very much.
They, also, love Gabby. Gabby is 15 years old. However, [...]
Spiders beware…of Sweet Bear!
The other day we were sitting down to lunch and began talking. Sweet Bear was eating her corn. I told her not to just eat her corn. She needed to eat her meatloaf and noodles as well. My kids love to eat corn. I have to watch or they will [...]
Happy 4th of July!!!
Photo taken in Colmar, France 2006
Yesterday was the 4th of July which I do miss celebrating in the States. We look forward to going to Strasbourg on the 14th of July for the French national holiday celebration. During the fireworks in Strasbourg, I always think of America and how every year I went to see [...]
Eurovision 2006
I’m not a big fan of Eurovision.
However, it could be fun to watch if you change the way the singers were rated. Say, instead of judging the best singers…Judge the worst singers. Now, that would be worth watching! And, to make it really interesting (since few countries sing in their own language) [...]
Eguisheim, one of the most beautiful villages in all of France
Eguisheim is a village that is a “must see” if you are visiting Alsace. Each time that I find myself walking in the streets of this city, I feel the strength of history. With medieval half-timbered houses covered in flowers lining narrow cobblestone roads, it is easy to forget what year it is.
I [...]
Strasbourg is a wonderful city to get moving in
Strasbourg is a very active city. You will find people walking, riding bikes and enjoying many other outdoor activities. Not only are the people in movement but Strasbourg is constantly under construction (so to speak) with one new building after another being built, rebuilt or upkept. The first spring I spent [...]
Keeping it in perspective
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 [...]
