You would think two former corporate cube dwellers would need a little more stability in their lives… but we are loving all of the changes going on right now. New site design. New Continent… Goodbye South America! Slowing the travels down with a weeklong stay in the Normandy countryside. Upcoming travel conference in Umbria… can’t […]
As part of our France excursion, Tony and I wanted to spend a week living like the French out in the beautiful countryside. We decided to go all out and stay in an adorable cottage in Normandy literally out in the middle of nowhere. Going into the week, I looked at this trip to rural […]

A Spanish Tortilla is basically a thick egg omelette made with potatoes […]
