Grecian Escape
by Krista | Jan 26, 2010 | Spring
We arrived in Greece cheering with whoops of joy and relief, so happy they let us out of Albania without proper paperwork.This lack of adequate documentation was not our fault. We have the naughty, naughty rental car company to thank for that. Those charming folks who...
Random Tidbits

It's been a truly blissful weekend. Feeling well and truly under the weather, I canceled everything and tucked myself in at home to rest, read and write. It was just what I needed. Comfort food was definitely in order, and I was happy to oblige. 🙂 Saturday I only...
Villa Bliss
by Krista | Jan 22, 2010 | Spring
After posting about the lovely Villa Trotta this week, I had a request for more photos of the villa and surroundings from my photographer friend Justin. It's a place of such tranquil beauty and happy memories that I was delighted. I hope you enjoy them. :-)A grape...
Accidental Cheese and Divine Curry
by Krista | Jan 21, 2010 | Winter
It seemed like a good idea at the time. My boss, Raphael, asked if I'd be open to cooking a special dinner for the staff. He'd pay for whatever I wanted to do and I could rope in willing helpers. Would I be open? Of course!! :-)I settled on Indian food and plotted my...

L’Chaim!
by Krista | Jan 15, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Wind is gusting, rain is pattering against my window and cars are shushing past on wet roads. It's a quiet, peaceful morning and I'm so grateful for the respite after this wonderful, but draining week. Much soul-searching has been done and now it's time to rest, be...
But…
by Krista | Jan 14, 2010 | Bits 'n' Bobs
I feel overwhelmed this morning, my mind filled with the images and stories pouring out of Haiti, the heartache of dear friends, my own little struggles. This week I finally found the courage to pull out my journals from my years in the cult. So much of those years...
