A Tale of Two Artists

The following is a work of art created by an up-and-coming Jordanian mosaic artist: OK, so maybe it wasn’t created by an actual artist, or an actual Jordanian.  I made it.  A while back the embassy sponsored a mosaic making class.  A mosaic artist came and taught us the old fashioned way of making mosaicsContinue reading “A Tale of Two Artists”

Today, Outside My Window

My life overseas is much like my life was in America.  Most of the things I do on a daily basis are the same things I did when I lived in the U.S.  Take today, for example:  This morning I got my kids off to school and my husband off to work, I spent someContinue reading “Today, Outside My Window”

Cats and Karma

Meet Jerry: Jerry belongs to Jason’s boss, also named Jerry.  Jerry the boss had to make an unexpected trip to the U.S. for a few weeks so we are cat-sitting Jerry the cat.  Jerry isn’t the cat’s real name.  Unfortunately, no one can remember the cat’s real name, so we started calling him “Jerry’s Cat”Continue reading “Cats and Karma”

Going to College

How is it that the girl who wears her shoes on the wrong feet could possibly be going to college?   OK, it’s true that this picture was taken a while ago.  She’s a little taller now.  And she mostly wears her shoes on the correct feet.  But still, how can this baby be goingContinue reading “Going to College”
