There are times when you just need to scream. And I’ve learned, a good place to scream is Legoland. Little T has two and half weeks off of school this month for his fall holiday. As a trip back to Canada unfortunately wasn’t possible, I wanted to find something we could afford to do during … Continue reading A good place to scream
I am here because of them
Fifty years ago today, my parents were married in a small farming community in Ontario, Canada. I look at their wedding picture and see two young people who on that day had no idea how their lives would unfold. But in their expressions, I can feel the happiness and love between them, feelings that are … Continue reading I am here because of them
The assignment
Continuing with my discovery of things to selbst pflücken (pick yourself) in the fields that surround me here in Germany, this past week-end I had the pleasure of picking my own gladioli. What a thrill it was to walk through a huge field of these colourful beauties, knowing I could choose whatever I wanted, for … Continue reading The assignment
Strawberry pickin’
As the saying goes, you can pick your nose, pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family. Lucky for me, my family turned out to be awesome. But I’ve since learned that you can also pick your own strawberries, which I highly recommend. Today’s adventure started out with a goal to buy, as Hubby … Continue reading Strawberry pickin’
The Farmer’s Field
I love taking walks by myself. It gives me time to get lost in thoughts while nature feeds my soul. I realized yesterday evening how much nature energizes me, while I sat looking at the trees sway in the wind and watched the birds flutter and sing in our yard. I could have sat there … Continue reading The Farmer’s Field
Table for One
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
