    Every now and again I like to show my patriotic side. Even though most of the world sees the US as a kind of sh*t show, I am still American 🇺🇸 in my heart and soul. Occasionally, someone will ask me if I would give up my US passport and try to get citizenship in…

  • Sensitivities

    Physically, I have many sensitivities to “nature”. I group it all together because basically I am allergic to most of the outside world. However, mentally and emotionally, I am fairly insensitive. This does not mean that I do not get my feelings hurt or that I mean to hurt others; I am human after all.…

    Although we are not yet finished with the season, the peak of our busy period has passed at last. Since April, we have had a fairly steady stream of visitors in and out of the house. Some stayed for just a night, or a few days, or an extended period of flexible time. Overall, it…

  • Unbalanced Conversations

    I remember yelling at my ex-husband once that not all stories were about him and that he didn’t always need to revert the conversation back to himself. He looked at me in confusion and said, “But, that’s how people relate and talk.” At the time, I just attributed his style of conversing with me, and…

    When I was adopted by my family, the social worker informed my parents that I needed to go to university. M knew when his eldest was a child that she would pursue tertiary education. Apparently, it is just something that becomes clear – the need for intellectual stimulation. While I do not consider myself to…

    I love the sun. I love warm weather. I love to sit poolside and tan. However. I do not love to sweat. I do not love to overheat. I do not love temperatures much over 85 degrees F or 30 degrees C. People always say, “Yea, but you lived in the desert for 9 years!”…

    As I mentioned in my last post, we took a road trip to break up our drive back from Paris in June. Since I really haven’t seen much of France, it was the perfect chance to stop into, drive through, and explore just a few of the many amazing small villages and lesser known cities…

    Well, it’s been a hot minute since I last updated on our status between France and Italy. My last post on this left us with an upcoming trip to Paris to sort out what we thought was going to be an easy and straightforward application for a Type D (multiple entry) visa. So, here’s an…

  • Lavender Season in Provence

    One of the images that I have always had of the Provence area has been of lavender. Somehow, though, I had completely forgotten about the season and so when my social media started showing pics from others of their forays into the fields to get that quintessential shot, I determined we needed to make a…
