I was recently asked if I considered myself to be a "good Christian." My answer was, "Well, I'm a good person." A good person obeys the law, loves her husband, encourages her friends, pays taxes and showers regularly. And yes, with the exception of the occasional (unreasonable) speed limit, I…
Audrey is thankful for Jonathan, corn bread, family, clean carpets, good friends, slippers, pink XBOX controllers & Johnny Mathis
Jonathan and I are in the kitchen of our house, our first home, making the stuffing to take to Thanksgiving Dinner at my parents' house tomorrow. At this exact moment, Jonathan is on his hands and knees on the kitchen floor using a dicing tool, pounding the thyme and rosemary…
She loves the corridors of Copenhagen!
Hans Christian Andersen's original Little Mermaid had no name. Long before the folks at Disney conjured up the image of the nymphetesque Ariel, with her plume of crimson hair and ample seashells, the famed Danish storyteller described a group of sisters, daughters of the Sea King, with beautiful voices and…
She loves the Dunes in Denmark!

She loves the cows (lowing) in The Netherlands!
I'm behind. I know it. But we've been convalescing the last few days, hiding away at our friend's home in Klegod, Denmark, right on the coast. More about that (much more) later. First, a few words about The Netherlands... We only drove through. I know! Crazy! How could we not…
She loves the chocolate in Belgium!
There is a square in Brussels which boasts being one of the top tourist destinations in the country. As we had only a single morning to spend in the city, we opted to check out The Grand Place (as it is called) and its surroundings. We couldn't have made a…
