Somebody loves me!

 Breigh loves my blog!!  And this is my first blog award from someone, so I feel especially honoured that a fellow expat Canadian has given it to me.  Since I’m new to the blog scene, it’s kind of cool to get noticed.  And lately I’ve noticed more and more people have been stopping by to [...]

Ty Pennington has nothing on my guy!

We are in the process of redoing the hallway since it is the first thing people see when they walk in, I wanted to freshen it up a bit and then we’ll start on the living room.  But right now we have stripped the walls of the old wallpaper, patched up the holes and sanded.  [...]

Ears like a little bat.

While taking a break from stripping wallpaper for the majority of the morning, I thought it would be time to grab a quick snack before getting back to the grind.  So I made a favourite of mine, Knäckebröd (which is actually Swedish) and smeerkaas  (the Dutch version of cream cheese).  I sit down here at [...]

He loves me, he loves me not

I love flowers, that is no secret.  I love getting them, growing them, giving them, having them in the house, around the house, in my office (when I worked) anywhere.  So when Frank came home with 3 bouquets of flowers on Friday it was a great night.

I thought this would never happen, I blame having too much time on my hands being unemployed…
 
I actually went to three different places today to get groceries.  Three!  Trois! Tres! Drie! (see I am learning Dutch).  First to the markt that is held here in Emiclaer.  But I love my chicken guy, his breasts are [...]

Stuck in the Middel(burg) with you….

After our trip to Vlissingen we took the train to Middelburg, the capital of Zeeland.  I really can’t tell you too much about the attractions in Middelburg since we got here at 5pm and everything was closed.  Now this is going to be a bit of a “About the Netherlands” rant.  I don’t understand why [...]

By the seaside

I’ve been meaning to write this blog so that I can finish up with the day trips we took while the kids and Frank were on vacation…so here it is…
I finally made it down to Zeeland, granted I didn’t get to see everything I wanted but as least I made it there.  We took the [...]
