Views from a Slovenian Castle
by Krista | Apr 21, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
Good morning, dear ones! 🙂 I write to you with a grateful heart today because at long last I know what's been causing me such pain the last three months: an obscure virus from the Ecoli family. I am on the right treatment now and each day I'm getting better and...

How to Rest Well in Albania
by Krista | Apr 19, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday

by Krista | Apr 12, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday

In Memorium
by Krista | Apr 11, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
My dear friend Herb died unexpectedly this weekend at 66. I still can't believe he's gone. He was like a beloved uncle or a second dad, the one who teased me unmercifully but would drop everything to help if I needed anything. Born into an Orthodox Jewish family, Herb...
