1.Feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. Moving to another country involves a lot of paperwork and here on Curaçao that means you have to physically pick up and deliver forms all over town. That takes a lot of time. I also have someone else’s novel to edit and some writing of my own to do. I…

A little update
We didn’t get the house I was talking about last time… We made an offer and the seller reacted by taking it off the market.I know…We were shocked and so were both the realtors (ours and the seller’s). It was just an opening offer, but the owner stated she was tired of not getting what…
Three things that make me happy
1. Organizing stuff. I told you I was going to buy things to organize our tiny cupboard. Couldn’t find the right stuff (will be looking again tomorrow), but did find this drawer set for our growing stack of papers. That will do for now. We needed the clipboards to hold papers when we’re working outside…
Empty nest
I keep thinking I want to blog and I keep pushing it aside. I’m not sure why. There are a lot of things I’d like to talk about, but I don’t know where to start. Yeah, I know. Let’s start at the beginning. But I have no clue where that beginning would be. So I’m…
Snapshot
Nope, I’m not the only one here taking pictures of sunsets…
Not a beach or palm trees

Right now
Right now I am… …feeling more positive than I have in a long time. I was on the slippery slope to depression.…happy to be back on Curaçao…smiling at the plant we bought immediately after arriving. I needed something to make me feel at home.…trying to prevent getting homesick this time. I was in November. Not…
52 hats :: 41 – 47 ~ I give up
I know, I know. I’m so close… But 5 hats in 4 days… Well, it is possible, if I could spend all my time knitting. And that’s the problem. There’s so much else I need to do.So I decided to officially declare this challenge failed. It was fun, but I don’t think I’ll ever do…
Merry Christmas!
I was planning to write a long blog post, but I ran out of time so this will have to do for now 😉Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
