Old Town Mostar and Bosanska Kafa – Bosnian Coffee
by Krista | Jun 15, 2010 | Spring
The sun was still shining after we finished our delectable Bosnian feast in old town Mostar, Bosnia. Our whistles wet and tummies filled we joined the lovely man we'd met on our way in and he lead us around town with a steady stream of stories and history of his...
Black Bears, Mountain Meadows, and, did I mention, BEARS!!
by Krista | Jun 14, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
It was an idyllic summer morning when we arrived at my Aunt and Uncle's lakeside home after a gorgeous drive through the mountains of Southern British Columbia. After a flurry of hugs we chatted up a storm while soaking up sunshine on the deck, then sat down to bowls...
A Canadian Excursion and Maple Shortbread
by Krista | Jun 11, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Hello, dear ones! Heavens, what a week! I've burned cake and spilled water and made my rent check out to the wrong people and nearly run out of gas and torn my skirt and if I do one more silly thing I'll, well, hmm, probably just laugh, or cry, or, if I'm really...

by Krista | Jun 8, 2010 | Spring
The sun was blazing hot as we emerged from the gorgeous Bosnian mountains and wended our way through the battle-scarred valley to the city of Mostar. Wanting to explore the old town and see the bridge we'd read so much about, we stopped a man by the side of the road...

Daisies, Scots and Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
by Krista | Jun 4, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Hello, dear ones! After nearly two weeks of rain I am oh-so-happily writing to you as glorious sunshine streams in my room. Windows have been flung open and all I can hear is the wind in the trees, the stream gurgling, and birds singing like mad. Amazing. It's been a...

by Krista | Jun 3, 2010 | Literary Nibbles
Last week we entered the snowy world of Narnia and had a delectable tea with Lucy and Mr. Tumnus in his snug little cave. Today we join Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy as they cluster around the remains of Mr. Tumnus' cave, now empty and bearing the marks of violence...
