“We’ll always have Paris” Rick said to Ilsa in Casablanca…while Barb said to Ray…”We’ll never have another November 2017 so I better get posting.” The month has flown by with lots of activity. Always a good thing. After a successful trip to Paris, it was wonderful to come home to hubby. It was a sweet […]
If you followed my old blog, you know that Menton, France is one of my happy places. I need to rephrase that…one of our happy places since hubby has fallen in love with it as well. With its micro climate, winters are mild (although I have experienced seriously chilly days there…thank goodness for the warmth […]
I could blame it on the Swiss…but I won’t. I love Switzerland! Everything about it makes me happy…the people, the food, the weather, the picture perfect mountains. It is a beautiful country and I was happy to call it home at one point in my life. The Swiss are known for their efficiency. Now, that’s […]
One of the nicest things about having an “old” blog is the fact that I can borrow from it and that is what I am doing today. This was a post done in 2009 but the sentiment applies today. I know for a fact that I appreciate everything more than I did 7 years ago. […]
One of my favorite cities in Spain is Aranjuez. It is fairly close to Madrid (about 45 minutes by train) but is a world apart. Last year we decided when we returned to Spain that we would stay in Aranjuez as opposed to doing a day trip. I already had my eye on the perfect […]
Any wedding anniversary is special but a 13th anniversary is without a doubt extremely special when you are a woman of “a certain age” and health issues have reared their ugly head over the marriage. We recently returned from a few weeks in Spain (Madrid, Segovia, San Ildefonso, Aranjuez, and Toledo) and I will be blogging […]
When I moved to Switzerland many years ago, I moved with overweight luggage (I almost had a meltdown when we were told what my charges would be) and I even had a trunk shipped over. It turned out be be a great table as well as storage area. It was easier to take everything with you […]
It should have been Russian. In high school, Russian was offered in the language department. As far back as I can remember, I have had an obsession with all things Russian. The people, food, art, history, language, architecture. You name it, I was interested in it. Nicholas and Alexandra, the mystery of Anastasia, and what truly […]
A few years ago on my other blog (here) I did a post on AARP magazine (the link does not go to that post, too lazy to find it). I loved the magazine (bulletin) then and still do. With that being said, I have a new love called International Living. When hubby and I decided […]
So, we have (actually I have) been putting together a list of areas that might be relocation possibilities. I have been looking through pages of what is required for Americans to move to Europe and wondering why I didn’t just stay in Europe when I had the opportunity. It was so easy years ago. O.k. […]
