WE’RE BACK!!!!!

No we didn't fall off the end of the world. We are in Serbia and having a great time. Sorry for any inconvenience.  

Prague, Abi and Kids

So, after only a couple of days at the Tooth Palace and off I go with the kids, again.  Andrew stays with Maggie for another week to help with the repairs.  Abi arrives in Prague in just a few days so off I go with TJ and Abi for Prague, via Dresden.  No complaints from […]

An Artistic Antwerp for Christmas and New Years

Just a couple of days before Christmas and we are aware that Maggie will not be on the move.  So, Derek and Amy let us use their artsy apartment in Antwerp for the actual holidays.  A few trains and a bus later we arrive.  As we walk into the building of our artist loft  ‘home […]

An Unexpected re-entry into Europe

Two months away from Maggie.  Naively expecting to just jump in and drive her away to the south to get away from the wintery north.  Ah yes, it was not to be.  Maggie was reluctant to begin her journey and had to be towed.  After an eventful couple of weeks we towed her to a […]

USA 2014

We went to USA for a couple of months.  Here are some non-linear highlights. Andrew, Hannah and Ben became comic book heroes and went to ‘APE’, an alternative publishing event. We made new friends and found some new tribe.  One even had a matching tattoo that he got in Egypt as well. We got to […]

We should reunite with our truck in December.  Realizing that the one thing about having a stationary ‘home’ is that you miss […]

Drydock

So here we are, still, hanging out with patient Al and Anita.  They keep assuring us we are not wearing out our welcome but we are not sure if they are just being nice.  We are working on our truck through the New Zealand winter.  Maybe not the smartest.  Right now as the wind is […]

Abundance

I would like to tell you a bit about where we are staying right now. We are staying with Al and Anita in a small beach town in New Zealand. They have 5 acres on the edge of the poorer part of their town. If there is a crime in this town, this is where the police […]

The Best Writer Ever!!!

  I’ve never really enjoyed reading much in the past. I never understood why Hannah liked it so much. Now I’m starting to understand. The past year or so Hannah has been trying to get me in to reading. When she finally managed to convince me to read the first Harry Potter book (a few […]

Lizzy Embarks On Her Own Adventures

The family has now dispersed just a little bit more. We came into Wellington three weeks ago to send off another young adult of ours to the other side of the world. Lizzy flew away on Easter Sunday to go to Texas. In Texas she will go to the wedding reception of a very dear […]
