Well, I had quite the scare! During this month, Kremb de la Kremb, the blog I’ve been writing since 2006, was GONE! Like absolutely GONE!! I couldn’t find it, I couldn’t retrieve it, and I thought it was lost. Losing this blog felt like not getting that massive photo album out of the fire. YouContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb is NOT Gone!
I Bet Your Flowers are from Ecuado
Here’s hoping that the April showers in Quito will indeed bring the May flowers. Yet, the flowers here in Ecuador are grown all year long. Fresh cut flowers are Ecuador’s 4th leading export with a profit of $835 million dollars a year! The price of 50 red roses is a grand total of $7 USContinue reading I Bet Your Flowers are from Ecuado
My Puffer Collection
Last week I posed the question, beach or mountains? While I am decidedly more of a beach person, it so happens that I now live in the mountains–very high up actually at 10,000 feet. Let’s just admit that the climate I live at is very, very cold. Also, the library I work in is doublyContinue reading My Puffer Collection
Beach or Mountains?
I’m most definitely a beach person. I love water over mountains any day. I am a Pisces afterall, so it only makes sense that I love a body of water over a majestic mountain. However, currently, living at almost 10,000 feet, I am giving mountain a life a try. One thing is for sure: IContinue reading Beach or Mountains?
Thank God Age Doesn’t Matter
It has happened. That age that infantile Annie defined as an old person. I am 50. I can remember when I was a kid the celebrations at 40 amongst my parents and their friends. Yet, the age of 50 received no such fan fair. I think I may even be the age of my momContinue reading Thank God Age Doesn’t Matter
Wow! No Wonder I Felt So Bad!!
I just checked, and the last time I posted here on Kremb de la Kremb was November 11! That was a long time ago. When I went to return to my blog two days ago, it was gone. Didn’t exist. Try the sever. And on and on! I came to find out I had accidentallyContinue reading Wow! No Wonder I Felt So Bad!!
My New Zara Pants that Match Everything!
Have you ever walked into a store, seen something, grabbed it right away, and bought it–without even trying it on? That’s how these Zara pants were purchased. I just knew I would get my cost per wear in. Not only do I love the pattern and the fit, but all the colors match so manyContinue reading My New Zara Pants that Match Everything!
Ecuador and Its Murals
There’s one thing we all noticed right away upon arrival to Ecuador: its murals. This country has murals everywhere, and they are so remarkable! Just click on this Google search to see what I mean. This mural is very near to our home. If we head into Quito, we pass this Ecuadorian mural each time.Continue reading Ecuador and Its Murals
Road Trip to Baños
Aww! We are traveling again!! It feels so good–I mean that’s why we do what we do for almost 25 years now. We became international teachers back in 1997 and have stayed with this career for many reason, but one of them is travel. With flights not really being a feasible way to travel theseContinue reading Road Trip to Baños
Ladies Who Lunch
This is going to sound like a random desire, but I’ve always imagined what it would be like to join the ladies who lunch. This is an expat term used in various parts of the world where I’ve lived. I don’t even know if it’s a Stateside expression. Maybe it’s a description used only forContinue reading Ladies Who Lunch
My Favorite High School Sweater
This may come across as unbelievable, but this is my favorite high school sweater. Yes, I received this sweater for Christmas from my mom in 1987 during my freshmen year. I wore it at least once a week–most likely during all four years. I loved it so much. It was and still is like aContinue reading My Favorite High School Sweater
What’s Your Cozy?
What’s your cozy? We all have cozy comforts. One of mine is sitting by a fire reading a book. This is especially my favorite cozy comfort for when it’s cold outside.Continue reading What’s Your Cozy?
