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 [...]
What’s on my mind today
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 workers [...]
Untouchable!
While growing up, I LOVED the Harlem Globetrotters! I can remember sitting on the floor just in front of the television with my brother. We were both glued to every move these guys made. We didn’t want to miss one spin or trick.
With every spin of a ball on the tip of [...]
Question your government…it is your right and your duty
I don’t know if the so called proofs in this video are true or not. That is something else worth discussing. I don’t trust easily and in the case of media, I think that is a good thing. Information can be presented through media as facts and people tend to believe these [...]

For instance, today I asked her to look at my blog and tell me if [...]
Just tell me who invited the Queen to dinner?!?
One night, while still living in the states, I was setting the table for dinner.
Now, keep in mind that before I met and married my wonderful French husband, I never worried about which side of the plate the knife or fork went on. Furthermore, I rarely used a knife.
What??? A knife??? It’s pizza for heavens [...]
Happy New Year from Strasbourg, France!
It is 24 minutes past the New Year, 2006! I can still see and hear the celebrations going on all around us.
In France on New Years Eve it is legal to set off fireworks. And boy do they!
All members of our family have been running from the front living room windows to the back kitchen [...]
Chili in the pot!
Thank you, Mom and Trav, for sending me a little bit of home for the holidays!
I made chili soup like back home for dinner tonight. My brother sent me Brooks brand chili beans in the can and some chili powder back in the summer and my mother sent me saltine crackers with the girls Christmas [...]
