And that's what you'll have to do.  We were on the go non-stop in Rome...just got into Brasov quite later than we had hoped last night, and now it's time for us to stock up on supplies.  Hopefully another post will be coming soon, since we'll be taking it much slower now.  So hold on to your horses just a little longer...pretty pictures soon to ( Read more... )

Let's see, what noteworthy has happened in the past month or two . . .

I guess most exciting is that Christina is coming to visit! And she's agreed to do at least two Guest Blogger entries while she's here!! She arrives this coming Thursday . . . but then we're leaving the country the very next day! I found cheap flights to Rome, so we're going to ( Read more... )

A group of us went bowling the other night and I came in 4th out of 6 people. Man. I'm ( Read more... )

Hey hey! Greetings from warm and sunny Romania! Actually the week got off to a much better start, overcast and rainy! Well it was better for me, at least, but not necessarily for Susan's car. It seems to have acquired some new leaks and there was a good inch or two of water pooled on the floor!

I'm baaaaack! Wow, eight comments on that last entry!! Okay, fine, seven if we don't include my own. But still! Thanks to Cousin Sarah and Aunt Murry for the continued support of my nearly dead blog, and to Uncle Bill for the kick in the pants. And of course to PCP, too - how exciting to have someone from home acknowledge Martisor! Our landlord ( Read more... )

God bless Detroit.

Never thought I’d speak those words, but there they are.

Yes, despite my calm, restful, stress-free drive to the Romanian airport, I was in ( Read more... )
