This is the first Christmas Patrick and I will spend in our apartment since returning to Paris. In 2009 we packed up all our things and shipped them back to France, so that year we spent Christmas at my mom’s house in Pittsburgh. Wonderful memories with Katarina, mom, and the rest of the family playing […]

Remembering September 11 Ten Years After
September 11th, 2011 · By Lynn
Ten years have passed yet it seems like it was only yesterday. There really aren’t any words to describe what happened that day in 2001, but everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard what was going on in New York City.
I have wonderful memories of visiting the World Trade […]

Sing, Dance, Or Freeze - Mobs Are Great!
June 23rd, 2011 · By Lynn
It sort of brings a whole new meaning to the word “mob”. Back in my days when you talked about the mob you were talking about the Mafia. Not anymore!
Last summer I put a flash mob dance on my blog that took place in Antwerp, Belgium. It was one of the better ones that I […]

Happy New Year 2011!

Katarina, Holly, Patrick, Rose, and Joey
Last year I was getting prepared to stand for 10 hours in the freezing cold to watch a ball drop for ten seconds along with over a million other people packed together like sardines in Times Square! My sister Rose was asking who wanted to wear Pampers in case someone […]

So when the decision was made to fly to San Francisco, you know it wasn’t going to be just Patrick and I getting on that plane! Nope, there were eleven of […]

If You Think Parisians Are Rude - Then Go To New York City!
February 1st, 2010 · By Lynn
I’ve always heard that New York City during the Holiday Season takes on an entirely different atmosphere as New Yorkers get caught up in the holiday spirit. People slow down and the snow not only covers the streets with a blanket of white and everything seems more hush-hush, but there’s also a blanket of goodwill […]

“Rude-nella” Opps! Lunella Restaurante New York City
January 24th, 2010 · By Lynn
Okay, so another person came up with the name, “Rude-nella”, describing Lunella’s restaurant in Little Italy, but the name is so appropriate when talking about the place, I just had to use it!
We had been walking all day, from the Statue of Liberty to the financial district, over to Ground Zero, Chinatown and finally making […]

Happy New Year 2010!
January 3rd, 2010 · By Lynn
New Year’s Eve in Times Square is a once in a lifetime experience and now I know why! Anyone would be crazy to do it more than once!
Getting to Times Square at 3:00 in the afternoon was already far too late. Times Square was filling up faster than a Black Friday Christmas sale! Katarina, Patrick, […]

And So, The Adventure Continues….
October 25th, 2009 · By Lynn
The one thing that I will miss here are the long walks on our private beach, where our dolphins appeared to us everytime I let out a high tone whistle. Patrick use to look at me like I was crazy when I would pucker up and whistle as high a note as I could muster, but […]
