Text of the page (random words):
d love to go back but that s not likely to happen anytime soon as we aren t living in europe anymore early this year husband decided he could no longer agree with and support various initiatives and behaviors of the administration in his school and in the enormous system as a whole rather than burying his head in the sand and hating his job for years which believe me some people do because this overseas teaching gig is an awfully good one he chose to resign some people thought he was crazy many other applauded his having the guts to unlock the golden handcuffs thus began our search for a way and a place to return to some semblance of reality as u s citizens not semi expats please understand that we lived overseas for twelve years and enjoyed most of that time immensely but with one child in college in the states and the other nearing high school graduation we realized that it could be good for us to go ahead and try to find a place to settle down in the u s the toxic atmosphere in the school just made the decision a lot easier and even more timely we began doing research online lots of it we knew we wanted to return to somewhere in the south that was our starting point we also knew we wanted to start a small business built around some of our wonderful european flea market finds to make a long story a little shorter we found fantastic renters for our german house we ll go back to check on it yearly until we decide to sell and we found greenville south carolina it s a very cool place these days and there s tons of natural beauty right here and nearby we moved in june and opened our little retail shop in august husband is also working in real estate actually though we got used to small town life in germany so we chose a small town on the edge of greenville a very cute place with a name that suits us and our story travelers rest i hope you ll join us in our latest adventure by checking out our new blog and social media pages of course if you re in the area please visit

friends of ours here in germany following the wedding festivities and were they ever impressive in their small hometown we ventured to several other cities and towns before heading back to bucharest for our flight home certainly among the most atmospheric places we ve ever visited anywhere was the village of malancrav home to one of the restored guesthouses belonging to the mihai eminescu trust the trust is dedicated to the conservation and regeneration of villages in transylvania and the maramures surely two of the most unspoilt regions of europe we had this lovely traditional home all to ourselves for a night and amidst the clip clop of horses and the curious stares of villagers we truly felt like time travelers for the rest of this post i think i ll let the photos speak for themselves back soon with more from romania plus more recent destinations posted by hausfrau at 11 42 am 4 fairytale hausfrau friends said labels fairytale style romania travel tuesday september 30 2014 a fairytale video this sweet little video from anthropologie just might inspire you to start some fall baking naturally i love the fairytale like setting in beautiful prague i ve been to prague

europe for our first anniversary five years later i had to show him around it s hard to believe that twenty years later i m showing my daughter around the girl is here as part of the same program and i traveled with her from germany to milan then on to florence to get her situated in our university s villa surrounded by olive trees on the outskirts of the city before heading out to the villa we had almost two days just to roam around the city and soak in the beauty and ahem eat an undisclosed amount of gelato the girl is already loving it and hopefully we ll get down there to visit her again sometime before the end of the semester santa maria novella a favorite florentine church of mine and yes we also visited the smn apothecary not to be missed lovely detail outside this pizzeria very interesting art display in a window wish there was a shop attached i d like to have one of those lamps with florentine scenes fountain of neptune in the piazza della signoria still a favorite spot of mine despite having to dodge other tourists and their cameras the girl indulging in a four euro gulp espresso and a bit of people watching the ponte vecchio on a beautiful day sunset over the arno ete

to paris i m back at long last for the first time since moving overseas eleven years ago we didn t head to the states for the summer we really needed to save the money we normally spend on trans atlantic travel and too frequent easy stops at taco cabana and chipotle but in between family yardwork jobs for some traveling teachers we managed a few inexpensive european getaways like this quick trip to paris a few weeks ago even after five years of living in europe it s hard to believe such a thing is possible for us we re four hours away but it had been four years since we d made this trip three for the girl who d been with a friend the boy was headed to a four day teen adventure camp down in garmisch so it was a good time for a visit we spent a good bit of time in the marais one of our favorite neighborhoods we enjoyed both the european photography museum and the musée carnavalet museum of the history of paris i was super excited to stumble upon the amazing shop au petit bonheur la chance which i d read about several times in the past apparently it can be difficult to find it open but we hit it just right though we were informed about 15 minutes into our frenzied treasure hunting that the proprietress would be closing up shop in five minutes that was probably a good thing financially speaking as i got out with only two purchases after asking another local shopkeeper for a recommendation we had lunch at au bouquet st paul a friendly place with good food and fair prices to save money we stayed outside of paris in a boho apartment we rented through airbnb just a 12 minute walk plus twenty minutes on the métro it was perfect for the three of us plus dog we even had a private deck and garden something you certainly won t find in the center of paris see that little table at the bottom of the photo it was trash picked by husband on a street nearby during one of this early morning walks and it now sits in our upstairs bathroom the garden was perfect for yoshi except that while exploring it he managed to tip himself backwards right into this ridiculously tiny pond he was not amused though husband and i who witnessed the incident definitely were bad dog parents we finally made it to giverny to monet s house and garden we d been telling the girl we d take her there someday ever since she was a tiny thing reading linnea in monet s garden and watching the video warm and sunny it was a perfect day for our visit yay back in paris that evening we picnicked with the masses next to the eiffel tower and watched the sunset lovely back soon with more about our summer posted by hausfrau at 12 09 pm 2 fairytale hausfrau friends said labels france the hausfrau loves travel thursday may 8 2014 around here springtime it s been awfully chilly and cloudy so far this week last week was pretty nice though we took advantage of some warmer sunnier weather to plant more geraniums put out some mulch in the back garden plant some kresse and oh i don t really recall what all we did last week is running together with the week before when the weather was even nicer we were outside a lot planning planting and weeding despite the current chill these crazy weather ups and downs are par for the course here in may our garden and other parts of the village are telling us it s spring thanks to husband for the lovely photos except the one with the colander i took that while pulling up a bunch of stinging nettles from the back garden and clipping a bunch of the leaves to use later that day in a recipe in family news happy healing to the boy who fractured his femur above the knee in soccer back in march thankfully less major than it sounds but the healing process takes months and a big high five to the girl who finished her freshman year of college
