Living as an American (Texan!) in England
Yesterday, I was exchanging messages with Emm about what to write for World Blog Surf Day. I was trying to think of a way to boil down my expat experience here in England. Two years of living abroad was a bit too much to condense into a short post. However, one thing I kept circling [...]
A week of answers…
Roxi did not get into the music school. In a way, I am glad about this because if she had, it would have made it that much harder to leave London if that is what we are supposed to do. Also, after reviewing the school’s curriculum, it seemed like it wouldn’t have been a good [...]
Roxi says…
Look! It’s Roxi reading the Carmen program from last month’s show. This is an accurate reflection of her. Get it? Reflection? Of her? Reading theatre stuff? Heh heh… Ok, never mind. My girl was so appreciative of all of your comments and emails yesterday. Thank you so much for your encouraging messages. It really meant [...]
Remembering to breathe

The weather has been divine these last two-ish weeks. I was telling a friend of mine that it’s like someone came in and [...]

Haarlem, The Netherlands
Just as Rick Steves promised, Haarlem is darling and well-preserved–a living museum, really. I mean, you can just imagine people walking around in their traditional Dutch attire. By the way, I don’t know if you can tell, but these are over sized wooden shoes. If you take a look at the brick pavers, you’ll get [...]
