Some days you just need Sloppy Joes
This photo has absolutely nothing to do with this post! Our petite dishwasher has been on the blink for quite some time. It washed our dishes but didn’t dry them. As soon as the cycle was done, we would open the dishwasher and basically use it as a large drying rack. When the leasing agent [...]
First Spring walk through the woods
We took a walk in Windsor Great Park on Sunday. It was a little cool, and there wasn’t much in bloom yet (only a few daffodils). Still, we had two lovely hours in the fresh air and sunshine. As soon as we got into the car, however, it started to sprinkle. And as soon as [...]
Life and …
“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” –Buddah This afternoon, I got a message from a old friend of mine in Texas. Her husband passed away yesterday. It was like a fist in the stomach, this news. I had a hard time believing what I was [...]
I went to London today to meet a new friend
I met my lovely blogging friend Emm in London for the first time today. She was so sweet to take time out of her busy work day to have lunch with me at this pub near the Borough Market. Isn’t it nice when blogging friends turn out to be just as charming and delightful in person as they [...]
Carmen at the Royal Albert Theatre, London
We went to see the opera Carmen at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday. It was a huge production, over 100 actors, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, countless techies, impressive lights, sound, and what voices! The show was performed “in the round” and was sung in English (it was still hard to understand the words, though). [...]
Company’s coming…
Trudy! I love you, but you sure do shed a lot. Mr. DJ’s youngest brother and family are coming tomorrow morning. Gotta tidy up around here. It’s a short day for Roxi–early dismissal–and she promised to help. What a good girl! By the way, the photo above is one I took for an e-course I’m [...]
Barcelona Views
I don’t think we have spent so much time looking over a city as we did in Barcelona. There were so many places that offered fantastic rooftop views. It was really neat to get up high after spending so many hours in the narrow streets below. Here are a few up-top views, compliments of Mr. [...]
Two years ago today…
We didn’t take that much with us when we moved from Texas. That’s less than half a shipping container. But boy, I wish I had brought more of my art stuff. …we walked through passport control in Gatwick Airport and the immigration officer said: “Welcome Home.” After two years, England definitely feels like home. This [...]
A Flâneur in Barcelona: A fanciful post featuring the letter “F”
We flew to Spain. The airport is right on the coast, so our first views of Barcelona included the Mediterranean and sun. It put us in the right frame of mind for our family holiday. (Photo by Roxi on her Casio Exilm 8.1 MP) We were a bit early to check into our flat, so [...]
