Re: previous post!
First of all I wish to thank everybody who took the trouble to read and write me such helpful and long comments. I'll read you all back later and thank you individually. Secondly, your joined opinion has helped me very much. I started to think that maybe I was an oversensitive, old hag, but this is...

A delicate situation
Please, dear blogit friends, give me a piece of advice because I don't know what to do. The situation is this: my long time friend who is also my attorney in Miami is since 10 years married to a girl who is 20 years younger. They have 3 small children who, although sweet, are totally out of control....

I'm terrible
because there is one superstition I can't seem to shake: the date 13. Which of course, is today. I'm just glad it's not Friday although that's nonsense too, because in Spain the unlucky day is Tuesday the 13th, not Friday. Even so, come a 13th and I get all panicky and move around with utter...

Thoughts at dawn
I am an early riser and I like nothing better than to sit on my terrace in my pajamas and watch the sun come up. A new day, new possibilities, new adventures. That sedative activity (yes, that's not a contradiction in terms) is thought -provoking and what went through my mind this morning is the...

One of the best trips ever...
Take two "gals" of an indefinite age, a red Corvette with the top down, and music blasting, all set for a day out in the Florida Keys and, I guess, you get the picture. My friend Cecilia and I had the time of our life yesterday when we took to the road to go to Islamorada. I wanted to take pictures...

There is always light at the end.
All that rain and thunderstorm has its bright side too, which is in the form of marvellous rainbows. I love rainbows and I captured this one yesterday afternoon after I had dried off from my 'drench'. I think I need to get a better camera, because in relity it lkooked even more dramatic, but I guess...

Drenched, drenched
My, my and here I am thinking I live in sunny Florida. Somehow I should have done my homework better and realised that May and June are wet, wet, wet. And the rain comes very surprisingly too. I only went out to Publix which is five blocks away to get some groceries and of course, I don't drive...

My hobby horse paid off..
The three things I like best are travel, writing and history. How lucky can a person get if she can combine all three? I was very pleased when I found this webmagazine. I liked it very much and submitted an article on Heinrich Schliemann and Troy. And what can I tell you? It's been published...

Incredible how one thing leads to another!
The coincidences of the story I have to tell you, you simply can't invent. Here goes: I want to have a place in Europe, because I'm sick and tired of the residence problems and always to watch that I don't overstay. That won't happen in Europe and also, having a German passport, I can, if I really...
