We got the official letter from the government stating the date of my husband’s swearing in ceremony. May 23. Yay!
That makes it officially too late to get a US passport in time for our June 1st trip to Rome. Boo.
We’re regrouping, rescheduling our flights and hotel, canceling the reservation at La Pergola (*cries*). We’re still […]

“il nous faut de l’audace, et encore de l’audace, et toujours de l’audace.”
“we must dare, and again dare, and forever dare.”
During my daily straighten-up of the family room, the words to “Baby Bumblebee” popped into my head.
Caught myself a baby bumblebee

Is it just me or does the internet have a severe case of writer’s block? Ok, maybe it is just me.
