As is evidenced by my lack of blogging, I’ve been more chaotic and all over the place than usual. We have had New Year’s and Yom Kippur and Sukkot and a sadly great amount of time spent in synagogue was on the weekend rather than during the week. Sad because it has meant that I [...]

Summer Plans…
Posted in family, The USA, vacations on July 14, 2009 | 4 Comments »
It’s been a little harder making summer plans than I thought it would be. First, the German keeps working Fridays. I thought I signed on to be a single parent Monday through Thursday and having him show up on Friday after the girls are in bed is breaking our bargain. The girls are pretty good, [...]
Proximate vacation: Are we becoming European?

Although I still haven’t uploaded our photos from the trip to NY, Mass and Florida, we are making our plans for our next trip. After the German being on a project for the last 20 months, we have some time “on the bench” from a major project coming up and I want to take advantage [...]

Back from the States to our Berlin home. We actually got back Wednesday morning (plane touchdown at 9 am, arrived at apartment at 10:30) but since we left for the airport in Orlando at 9 am the day before we were a bit tired when we arrived. It was an epic return, of sorts. We [...]

Chaos
Posted in family, the trivia of life, The USA, vacations on March 9, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My next few posts will be chaotic to the extreme. Today we had 17 items to do and managed 16. I need to list out tomorrow’s activities. This is the first day that I have ever been able to run around with a native speaking assistant (the German) and with a car, and gosh, it [...]
No Tuesdays with Dorie this week… and what’s coming up.
Posted in Dear Friends, Disney, family, Orlando, vacations on February 24, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I’m just too tired and chaotic. Although strangely enough, I did make a TwD recipe today, it’s not the chocolate, toffee and caramel bars that would be this week’s recipe, so I will post it when its time comes. We have just gotten back from NRW where we visited in-laws and friends. We had expected [...]
London Calling…
Posted in cooking, London, sightseeing, vacations on January 14, 2009 | 10 Comments »
I’m off for a solo three day weekend in London Friday very early. I’m booked in Bloomsbury, quite close to the British Museum, so no matter what happens I know where I can spend unlimited hours (and it should be soggy the whole time I am there). I’m thinking Murder One (sadly closing its doors [...]

And I really need to fill in some of the blank spaces in my blogging, but I’m a bit afraid that if I wait until I start uploading pictures and getting ready to blog chronologically, I will be totally out of the habit and never start again. So, a quick run through. A 27 hour [...]
