Continue reading →: Albania part two: Freezing my butt off, literallyAfter Saturday’s harrowing vehicular escape from Tiranë proper, your girls were hungry. There are no American fast food restaurants on Crete except for one lonely McDonald’s in Heraklion, so I was pretty excited about the prospect of a Burger King with a drive through by a gas station along the…

Continue reading →: Albania: Big money, no whammiesI know you’ve all been practically dying to hear about my trip to Albania. I’ve been wanting to tell you all about it, but I have been practically dying since I got home. I had maybe 36 good hours before a neck injury I stupidly gave myself on Friday made…

To get the sad things out of the way- it was the one year anniversary of Chunk dying last week. I got my period on the same day and BMO started acting…

Continue reading →: Magical forest time!I have been meaning to get out into nature and get more exercise for a while now. It’s been in the 50-60s almost every day lately, and last Sunday was a beautiful 60 degree day. I asked Joshua if he’d be interested in a forest walk, and he was! I…

Continue reading →: Reflections on a Year of Change and LossI know I’m not the only one out there who has spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s simply rotting around the house dramatically, right? Pajamas all day, pajamas all night. The weather was nice enough until Christmas, and then it was just days of non stop rain. Sometimes…

Continue reading →: December JoysDecember showers apparently bring December flowers! We have had some decent rains here lately, and the landscape is appreciating it like nobody’s business. The ground is covered in lush patches of clover. Flowers are blooming. Everything is green and glorious. I cannot express in words how much this feels like…

Continue reading →: Tripoli and MystrasWe decided to post up in Tripoli on our trip to the Peloponnese because it’s fairly centrally located to a few of the places we thought we might like to visit. We decided we didn’t want to have to pack up and move more than once during the trip. We…

Continue reading →: Anniversary trip part one: AthensJoshua and I took the overnight ferry to Athens last Friday to start our twenty year anniversary trip with a weekend in the city. The biggest downside of the overnight ferry is arriving at 6am. If you have a cabin, you’re supposed to be up and out of it 30…
