10.31.07What I rememberMy grandfather was a strong man. He wasn't perfect. He loved his family in his own quiet and sometimes not so quiet way. He never told me often that he loved me. Yet, I didn't need him to tell me. I knew that he did. My grandfather married my grandmother even though she had five children from a previous marriage. My mother was one of those five children. I was never told growing up that my grandfather wasn't really my grandfather. I had no reason to think otherwise. He treated me as ...

10.23.07Meme: QuestionnaireI found this one word meme on Ms. Mac's blog. I decided to go ahead and steal it. So, here we go. It might be fun. Edit: I forgot to add in the post before I posted it that I change the meme. I had more fun answering the questions like it was an interview. You know like the stars do for magazines. So, that is why my answers are a bit longer than one word. 1. Where is your mobile phone? I share one with my hubby and it is in his coat ...

09.28.07Pumpkin Bread Recipe (Recette)Last Friday, I had bought another small baking pumpkin at our village Coop. Since I had already baked a pie with the last one that I had purchased, I decided to make some pumpkin bread with this one. It was a good choice. I used this great and easy recipe.

09.08.07My Celebrity Look-alikesWow...pretty mixed bunch I think. I think it's the eyebrows. :) Here is another one just for comparison! I tried one last time to see if I would get at least one celebrity a second time. Didn't happen. And, Woody Harrelson!!! I know he grew up in Ohio like me but seriously that gives me goosebumps.

09.04.07Jumpcut for videoI found a new video service. A fan of dailymotion, I am. That is not going to change. I am looking for another video service that fills a different kind of need. The need to quickly make and share videos all in one service. I jumped at the chance to try out jumpcut! Like dailymotion, jumpcut gives me the option to make my videos private or public which is important to me. Many of the other video services out there do not allow private videos. Jumpcut is a bit more advanced than dailymotion in that I can actually make a ...

08.15.07Beach front viewDaytona Beach, Florida (taken summer 2006) I have a beach front view on my life. The past year has been incredibly hard. I made it. Yet, I sit here wondering where my life will take me next. My life has always been like that. I never knew where I would be from one year to the next. My life was rarely easy. I learned early on to enjoy the smell of pine in the fall, the sound of my children laughing, my husband's eyes catching mine in an exchange of happiness and all the beautiful memories of life. ...

08.15.07Blogging headachesI was tired last night when I decided to delete and reinstall my Wordpress blog. I didn't think it would be an issue. I wrote that I had not updated my blog entries just before I deleted my blog. However, I did backup the files just before I deleted the blog (see how tired I was). It didn't catch the last posts since my laundry post. It, also, didn't upload my blogroll. I must go through and readd all my links. I will try not to miss anyone. If you don't see a link from me that was there before let me ...

08.14.07Deleted Wordpress and reinstalledWordpress was running slow. So, I read somewhere to delete and reinstall. I have done it on my other Wordpress blog with no problems. Not this time. When I tried to reinstall Wordpress I got errors. Lucky for me I had a backup using the wordpress backup plugin. Not so lucky...I forgot to backup before the deletion. So, all my posts from laundry on are gone. Thank you, Bluehost!!!! I love Bluehost. They got me all fixed in about five minutes. I hope the blog is running faster. Let me know. :)

07.23.07Monday equals laundryHeaps and heaps of it. To be exact a weeks worth of laundry with three accident prone (I admit it is from my genes) kids. I am looking at eight loads of fun. In Switzerland, apartment dwellers must abide by a laundry schedule. Each tenent in my building has half a day one day a week to get all their laundry done. At precisely 6:30 a.m. I made my way down to the laundry room on the ground floor of our apartment. I switched the afternoon (my usual time) with the neighbor above us. His wife is on vacation with their ...
