Repatriation: Some Thoughts

November 13, 2017 By Jodi

Most of my posts over the last six months have been about how overwhelming and difficult our international move was. (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C.)

Some Pics From Our Trip to Spain

January 30, 2017 By Jodi 4 Comments

Nerja, Costa del Sol, Spain

And we're back! We had such a lovely time in Spain, and now it feels great to be home again. Spain was just what we needed: a break from the dark winter. We got so much sunshine and warmth (except in Granada), and I felt an infusion of energy. I got so much exercise walking everywhere...
