after moaning and groaning, a mom finally gets her act together about an extended home-time period.
Talks With My Nutty One
TO often asks me trivia questions especially about animals. Today's query was about a bird whose name starts with P and ends with an N and it lives on an island. I initially said penguin and got an eyeroll for my troubles. Actually I led with pigeon because where don't those little poop machines live?... Continue Reading →
Never A Dull Moment
TO is the gift that keeps giving. Sadly, I don't know how to switch it off! I was helping him out with some comprehension sentences when the name Elizabeth came up. He knows Elizabeth mainly in conjunction with the Queen and Buckingham palace and automatically tacked on "The Queen" in front of the name leading... Continue Reading →

After seeing the style of Gaudi's masterpiece, this church seems run of the mill but take a round of the place and discover it's beauty and architecture... Continue Reading →
Bamboozled in Barcelona
What was meant to be the trip of a lifetime ends up being just that but with a twist.
Discovering Barcelona-III
This was our last day in Barcelona. We decided to skip the beach in the less than balmy weather and spend the day in the Gothic Quarter instead. A good decision as it turned out. Browsing through a flea market, listening to street musicians and having a perfect lunch in a quaint, hole-in-the-wall place in... Continue Reading →
Discovering Barcelona-II
Gaudi and Barcelona are synonymous and even without anyone going too deep into the psyche or temperament of the artist, you can't help but concede, the man had style! A glimpse of his masterpiece Sagrada Familia...
