This restaurant has been famous on the Internet for years.  You can see photos of it on pretty much every site that deals with funny pictures… especially of road signs and billboards. Anytime I’ve told people that I’ve been there, they’ve never believed me.  So now I have proof. The A&K Lick-A-Chick is about a 5 minute drive from my …

This evening my husband got me to go to this website to test out my typing skills.  He is always curious about how fast I can type, and it irritates him to no end that I touch type and can type on my computer while watching TV or looking at him and having a conversation.  I think he’s just jealous. …

On the way through the airport in Amsterdam I asked Xander if there is a term in Dutch similar to Home Sweet Home, he said Oost West Thuis Best, which means East West Home Best.  Works for me… The traveling was long and tiring but we are finally back in the Netherlands and battling our jet lag (the jet lag …

A few years ago, actually… more like 15 years ago (ugh!) my friend Peggi and I went out for a drive and were looking for some nice places to take pics. We drove about 15 minutes away from home and found these really nice waterfalls tucked in off an old dirt road. If we weren’t looking for a spot we …

I’m so behind on these updates but I’m enjoying my time away too much to spend time behind my computer. I can’t believe a week has gone by already! My cold is almost gone, all I have left is that annoying ‘tickle’ cough which usually stays with me for ages. I don’t mind though, I have a lot to take …

I have so many pictures already, I am not sure where to start.  So I’ll start with the flight over here.   I’m not going to type much because I’m sick as a dog with a cold and just took some meds and am sleepy already.   Trust me to get sick as soon as I get back to Canada. We felt …

We made it to Canada safe and sound.   After a loonnnng time traveling (approximately 22 hours from our house to my parents) we are now in Canada and finally adjusted to the time difference.  It’s weird to look at the clock on my laptop right now and see 11:05am when it’s 6:05am here. We’ve been pretty busy since I got home.  …

I’ve been watching those Next Top Model shows lately.  I really like them, mostly because I find it really interesting to see how they make the girls over and what kind of photos they are able to make.   I always see girls in the beginning that I think are BUTT UGLY and I never understand what they are doing on …

I can’t believe I forgot to blog about our trip to the Apenheul last month!  It was the part of our long weekend that I was looking forward to most, and enjoyed the most.   Better late than never, I guess. The Apenheul is honestly the coolest place I’ve been to in this country yet.   I was so excited while we …

Wow, what a great day it’s turned out to be so far.   At a time of year when the weather is growing more and more dark and depressing, I was happy to wake up to a beautiful sunny day! I took this photo (WITH MY NEW CAMERA!) while Xander and I were out with the dog this morning.   I think …

I was just reading the news on Expatica and came across another blogger who writes for them.   I went to a page that explains who she is exactly and I felt much better after having read it.   It made me feel like I’m not completely hopeless after all. The truth is that I’m not from anywhere in particular any more, …
