Since I was sick we decided to head to Bern for the day instead of walking in the mountains. Honestly, I don’t think I have been this sick in years.
We ate at Burger King (a treat for the kids), had warm apple turnovers from McDonald’s (a treat for all of us), window shopped, let [...]

We haven’t had a family pet for years. Our family cat, Annie Cat, has lived with my brother for almost five years now.  We had to leave her in the States when we moved to France in 2004.
Today, Vilay finally caved and said we could have a cat.  It wasn’t just the pressure from [...]

As does your support.
Thank you, my friends, for your kindness these past few days. I wasn’t alone because of your words and your thoughts. I was stronger because of your support.
It was very hard [...]

Summer Break is finally here!
This past week has been a busy one. My five year old finished her last day of school today. She was sick last night so I was worried if she would be able to go today and then there was a storm this morning that threatened to keep us [...]

I stopped this morning to talk to two older neighbors who started a conversation with me about the weather. It wasn’t long before one of the men took the opportunity to tell me that I should speak French with my children and not English. His reasoning is that because my children are French [...]

Flickr is allowing video to be uploaded to their website by pro account holders.
The videos are more “long photos” than video meaning only the first 90 seconds of any video will be shown.
Can I tell you how excited I am about the ability to upload my vidoes to flickr? It is a great thing [...]
