“I love winter!” That was one of my favorite sentiments in Texas, and I wasn’t kidding. I loved it when it was in the forties in the morning and the low sixties in the afternoon- to me that was winter. I was under the delusion that winter was my favorite season. I love winter clothes like [...]

Sometimes you do things that you normally don’t do, just for the heck of it. Or maybe you don’t, but we did so follow me here. Our friends, Laura and Brian, are ending their stay in London and returning to the states in a week. They wanted to go clubbing. So we got a group [...]

I got to go to the American Embassy tonight. Most people HAVE to go to an Embassy- it isn’t a pleasant experience because it is usually in conjunction with loosing your passport or needing a visa (fyi for all you fellow expats they have notaries at the Embassy…and only at the Embassy). They had a [...]

When we were at the sketchy counterfeit market last Sunday, I found a pretty plate at a little booth that was selling random crap treasures. I paid three pounds for it and I knew that I would forever remember buying it on Mom, Nana, and Aunt Carolyn’s first trip to London! I love when small [...]

It was quite an adverture! Then we headed out to indulge in some [...]
