TGIF–this has been such a looong week
Here’s Roxi doing the hula hoop game on the Wii Fit. That’s me on the far left. On the right is Snape (Alan Rickman, of course) from the Harry Potter series. We love how the Mii’s we made show up in the various mini-games! It’s so fun :-) Did anyone else get a Wii Fit [...]
Doe de licht uit je* (Part II)
And winter lingers on… it feels like we’re living inside a giant deep freezer. I had an entirely different post in mind today (aka Ask an Expat), but just before I got to my computer to write it, I saw my “old friend” peeking in our door again. You might remember me telling you about him [...]

Expat Reading: Julia Child’s My Life in France
Along our memory lane. Houston, Texas. I started Julia Child’s My Life and France on the plane ride home and have been enjoying it very much. If you’re an expat (or dream of becoming one) and if you have a great love of food, I do recommend this book. I’m only about half way through, but here [...]
Happy Birthday, Just a Plane Ride Away!
Last Saturday, Just a Plane Ride Away turned three! Was it only three years ago that I sat in the study of our Houston home and naively wrote this post? Like many bloggers, I thought my parents and maybe a few other relatives would be the only ones following our adventures. Little did I know that because [...]

Beste wensen voor 2010, y’all!
Happy New Year, friends! These were going to be my two-fer pics for my Wordless Wednesday post, but insert long, dull excuse here, LOL! Oh my, we’ve been having a lovely visit here in the Lone Star State. The sad thing is we can fit in only so much visiting, so much eating, so much shopping. [...]
