I was reading a post from someone a little while ago (and I’ve lost the link now, but if I find it again, I’ll link the post!) She was talking about the American Dream. In college, I had a whole history class devoted to the notion of the American Dream.
Dr. A was so great at what [...]

Hi! There’s not a lot going on today. I watched a disk of the Simpson’s Season 5, watched most of an episode of Desperate Housewives, tried reading a book and now, I’m waiting for my husband to get home so that we can go to Hanau for a Hail and Farewell for his First Sergeant. [...]

Well, yesterday after some deliberation, I decided to call the adoption agency. They had pretty much told me that it was a big solid “No!” for adopting from Russia for a couple of different reasons. Mainly because we couldn’t get a home study done here in Germany (it’s always better to error on the side of [...]

Summer had arrived. The air was warm and damp. The bright blue sky was clear, save a few puffy pure white clouds that were held high in the sky. Abbie heard the bell, which brought her out of her daydream. It usually rang every 15 minutes, it was something that could be counted on. There was usually [...]

Please pardon the crude pictures. I took them on my iPhone and it took A LOT of doctoring in order make these few pictures look decent. I hope you enjoy
This is the Porta Nigra.
Notice how the bricks are whiteish yellow sandstone that has been blackened through the years.
This is a view of the [...]
Memorial Day

Today is Memorial day. We are supposed to remember those who have lost their life defending freedom, our Constitution and our way of life. What a tremendous sacrifice that those families made in the name of freedom. For one to offer his/her life in the defense of our nation is remarkable. Many people think that this is the [...]
The Longest Day…

Today Rob and I cleaned house most of the day. He was interviewed by a woman who is in the BN of 5/7 and I had to entertain her husband. I’m not a great hostess, but I’m much better with my husband. While he was in being interviewed, I offered the TV and DVD player [...]
Trier is the oldest city in Germany. It was founded by the Celts in the 16th Century BC. The Romans came and took over and there stands some ancient ruins. The Porta Nigra was the gate into the city that the Romans built and that was the only way in. It was made of white [...]

Today is the first day of Memorial Day Weekend. It means that summer is officially here!! We were going to head back to Hanau today, but the stuff that Rob needed to get taken care of can’t be done because EVERYONE seems to be taking today off! I don’t say that I blame them. It’s [...]
Heart Breaking

I made the application with the adoption agency and they said, okay. Now, all you need to do is contact the person for your home study. So I called her and she said, “Nope, sorry. We can’t do that. We don’t do home studies for Hague Countries” ACK! She said, “If you want, I can [...]
