Canadutch

This is my husband. Do you see the smile on his face?  Well, I can’t take credit for that one.  Jenny made a leg of lamb and he went into total Neanderthal mode.  He picked that piece of meat up and gnawed on it like his life depended on it. It gave me hope that this might mean that one …

One morning during our holiday I got out my camera and went for a walk around the property to take some photos. While up in the orchard I noticed some wasps buzzing around one of the trees. Man, do those wasps love them some cherries!

After a few days hanging out at Xander’s dad and Jenny’s place we decided that we should get out and do at least a little exploring.  Usually when we are going somewhere I will scour the internet to find places I want to visit but this trip was mostly about spending time with family so I didn’t make any other …

No I don’t mean me, you dick. Ok maybe I do, sorta.  Still, it wasn’t nice of you to just assume it was about me.  Just sayin’. This is The Fat Lady: No, seriously, the fish is actually called The Fat Lady!  Check the link if you don’t believe me. Anyway, you know what a fish means!  That’s right, I …

Recently the topic of children has been brought up again between my husband and I.  Do we want them? Do we want to continue as we are and live our own lives free of that responsibility?  Are we willing to go to the lengths we need to go to in order to have them?  Do we want to GO THERE …

As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again.  I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things I’ve seen as well as …

We have a Lula!!!  This is what I have been waiting for.  We have Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger, and now Lula.  All we need now is a Grandma Mazur and we are done, the rest don’t REALLY matter. Oh yeah, we have a Vinnie too. So, who will be playing everyone’s favorite gun-toting, spandex wearing, ex-hooker? Oh yeah, and Vinnie… Lula …

That’s right, I’m out of here like yesterday’s news!  Off like a whore’s drawers!  Like a prom dress at midnight! For the next 10 days I will be here… No trams, metros, scooters, rushing, doorbells ringing, car horns honking, children screaming, people smelling or sirens wailing.  Just peace, tranquility, chilling, chatting, swimming, dog photographing and perhaps tree chopping. We are …

It’s true… look!! BEANS! Actual … beans!!  I don’t believe it!  I grew a real and honest to goodness vegetable!  I am the queen of gardening! Seriously, if you could have seen the little dance I did around the balcony when I saw these babies.  It went a little something like…  I have beans, baby beans, Go Tammy…shake yer booty, …

Last weekend Penny and I went to Blijdorp Zoo here in Rotterdam.  I have been a few times before, but it really is one of those places you could visit again and again.  It was hotter than hell so I actually got over the whole fat arms thing and wore a tank top in public.  I was paranoid and self-conscious …

Thanks to my friend Candee, the dogs are celebrating Canada Day in style! She has her own dog grooming business and gave us these cute Canada Day bandanas for the dogs to wear to show their pride!  It’s a pity she didn’t live closer because I’d definitely go to her rather than our regular groomer, who is in the process …
