Join me on this life's adventures
The first year we lived here, it stormed like The God of Wind and Rain meant business. So of course, we compared every winter thereafter to that initial shock. It stormed so hard, the docks broke in half despite the concrete breaker wall in front of it. It stormed so hard that back in the... Continue Reading →
We’ve been up and running with the new business for about 2 months now. It has been an experience to finally show off all the pieces that came together so nicely. I wasn’t often sure it would happen. Currently, I’m sitting along a river, camping with my cousin, who abandoned her high powered job with... Continue Reading →
Here's a recap of our train station clock tower build.
There was an all-ages show featuring a character in drag happening at a golf course in Florence. As part of the Siuslaw News, I was supposed to cover the early show and my editor was going to cover the later one. The night before, I prepared by trying to figure out the appropriate way to...

Before we get to that, did you know Poland passed new legislation this month outlawing the phrase, "Polish death camps"? Under the law, it's also... Continue Reading →
When the idea of visiting Poland first came up, I didn't know what to expect. Without too much historical background, I stepped foot on Polish soil and experienced a lot of interesting things. First off, the Polish people have gone through a lot. With Russian occupation throughout the 19th and partially through the 20th century,... Continue Reading →
The Guy and I came to Prague so I could get ICL surgery. I visited Prague 10 years ago and was enchanted with the Baroque architecture and especially the Charles Bridge. You access the bridge by going under a large tower and it's lined with statues of patron saints. The gothic style and historical significance lend... Continue Reading →
Gorgeous Vienna, where the waltz originates, is home to classical composers like Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss to name a few. Numerous famous scientists, writers, and artists also hail from here. My personal favorite is, of course, Freud - founder of psychoanalysis. Viennese culture is strongly rooted in long leisurely meals surrounded by magnificent architecture on... Continue Reading →
