Jennifer and the girls are coming!!! I leave in a couple of hours to go and pick them up. They are flying in from Bonn, Germany (ok – actually from Frankfurt). There are a few things that I need to do between then and now but I have been lolly-gagging about in my warm bed and listening to the sounds… (more…)
I tried to do some reading but I think that I went through 2-3 pages before I realized that I couldn’t remember a thing that I had supposedly just read. Nope, nada… So I figure that I should just get all of these thoughts out of my head: I am now in the home that we will be in for… (more…)
… Off I went to view 5 more places. A couple, I could dismiss immediately. They were lovely and the price was right, but they were simply too far away from the school. It would mean walking 1 1/2 – 2 km two times a day. That seems to be a bit too much. The last three each had something… (more…)
This has been a wild ride so far!!! I collected my bag and went to find the fellow who would be picking me up and taking me to the car rental place. He was there, as promised, however it took a little while for his driver to pick us both up from the airport. It was funny to get into… (more…)
I am sitting here on the plane, everyone around me is sleeping, or at least pretending to. Are we a tired society, that we can fall asleep in the very early evening? I thought that I would give it a try and was rather unsuccessful. So here I am. I have another 6 hours on the plane, hopefully I will… (more…)
At the airport. Ready to go! Woo hoo!!!
I called the village tourist center the other day and lucked out with someone who spoke English but I knew that my luck wouldn’t hold out. I was calling for the number to the local primary school. I needed to call to make sure that there would be 2 spaces in the school for the girls when we got there.… (more…)
We went in to see the same Dr who had done the D&E a couple of weeks ago. When we were there last we had discussed the possibility of further testing to simply make sure that all my bits were in place. In other words, what the hell are my reproductive hormones doing…? We went back in today to have… (more…)
We are getting to crunch time. I have been researching longer term rentals in the village that we are considering staying in. It appears to be a lovely village, only 6 kms from a small city and the ocean. And because it is a mountain village, we will have views of the valley below and the ocean off in the… (more…)
I was going through old posts and realized that it has been a long time since I have posted our decluttering stuff. It has been leaving the house slowly but surely, but I haven’t been writing about it. Sorry. The weeks we have been home, with very few exceptions, we have been decluttering. I still open a cupboard and sigh,… (more…)
