It was Friday night, and I had an hour all by myself before I was expected at a friend’s ladies gathering. So, I decided to take myself out to dinner. Hubby was taking Little T to his baseball game, so they were going to drop me off first at the restaurant. On the way there, … Continue reading Table for One

Just me and my boy
It’s the Easter long week-end, and I am celebrating it in Germany with Little T while Hubby is celebrating it in Canada. This is the third Easter in a row that we haven’t been together, although, in the past it was me in Canada while he was in Germany (almost killed himself one Easter paragliding … Continue reading Just me and my boy
Sharing the Christmas spirit
Yesterday morning while lounging in bed reading and drinking coffee, Little T greeted Hubby and I with a plate of pistachios, walnuts and cookies. He thought we might be hungry. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture and it made me wonder if he caught a little Christmas spirit. Or, maybe he was trying … Continue reading Sharing the Christmas spirit
Food should be loved
While browsing through a beauty focused magazine, I came across this picture of a beautiful platter of oysters with a woman holding a cell phone over the dish. From the title of the article, I assumed she was taking a picture of it because it looked so yummy, and maybe uploading it to Facebook to … Continue reading Food should be loved
Celebrating The Light
Today is the first Sunday of Advent. Little T lit the first candle in our Advent wreath before we sat down for breakfast. This year I finally invested in an Advent wreath that I can re-use, as opposed to the real deal. Although I love the scent of the real Advent wreaths and how nicely … Continue reading Celebrating The Light
Meeting Wismar
I love daytrips. Getting into your car and driving for an hour or two and to find yourself in completely new surroundings is a perfect way to spend a Saturday. It’s been awhile since we have taken in a daytrip, and since we have lived in this area of Germany for almost a year, I … Continue reading Meeting Wismar
A post from Ralph
Today is the 40th anniversary of the birth of my wife. I have been given the gift of her love for over 15 of those years and that love has sustained me when I hungered, sheltered me when I was exposed, lifted me when I faltered and freed me when I suffered. Heather is spiritual, … Continue reading A post from Ralph
One Jazzy Lady
Next to parents, siblings are people that you can be completely yourself with. Growing up with them, you get to know their quirks and what really pushes their buttons. You can happily remind them of dumb things they did in their past, even if they don’t enjoy hearing about it (but they’ll happily pay you … Continue reading One Jazzy Lady
Celebrating Art
Earlier this month I had the privilege to write an autobiography of my father-in-law, Art. He recorded a recollection of his life of 80 years on a tape recorder. While I was typing, it felt like he was sitting in the room with me re-telling his life story. What a gift it is to have … Continue reading Celebrating Art
A Friday ritual
Little T and I have a ritual every Friday after school. I wait for him outside of his classroom, and I am always greeted with a big smile and an announcement of whether or not he has homework (I can usually tell when he doesn’t, as the smile is much bigger). Today, he also greeted … Continue reading A Friday ritual
