Merry Christmas to Us
What a great Cristmas Emil and I had. We got to see both sides of the family [1] and made time for oursleve, too. And, this is the first time in a long time that we didn’t get each other a same gift. Armed with new toys and gadgets (this blog post is coming to
Annual Illnesses Times Three
Two years ago, I was far to ill to attend Thanksgiving–my third favorite holiday. I tried to get Emil to go to Bryan without me, but he wanted to stay here and take care of me. yippie. j.k. Actually, he was quite kind to check on me but otherwise leave me alone… I think he
How the Internet Works
You aren’t anonymous on the Internet. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever used Google or facebook. If you comment on my blog, I can see what city you are in. I even have a vague-to-accurate address (depending upon several things). If you ask me for help with something and then
Easter Recipes: Veggie Packets & Fruit Ka-bobs
Easter with the Luzas has shifted over the last few years from a BBQ feast–with a lot of wee-hours-of-the-morning cooking–to a hamburgers/hot-dogs lunch.

Twice/again? Cruel!
Five years ago, our brother-in-law Pat died. He was one of the family favorites, and at just 43, he was one of the youngest. That’s hard enough, but his death came on Thursday before his only daughter’s wedding on Sunday. As a wedding photographer, I could never imagine something so tragic for a bride and
A Vegan Thanksgiving in 2011
For part of our 2011 celebration of thanks, I just purchased my first ever “tofurkey” with trimmings. We’ll see how I can handle two holiday meals in Bryan, followed immediately by another two in Paris. It’s hard enough to get to both Thanksgivings with some kind of contribution to the meals. Now, I’ll bring my
Travels and Celebration
We have been slow to update and that is mostly because we’ve traveled back to Bryan a LOT. After, getting the apartment, packing, and moving, we also traveled for these reasons: 30 May – a wedding 13 June – a wedding 20 June – to have the carpets cleaned 22 June – to get something
