The Wurst Years: March 2012
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. It's very exciting that our home has a dishwasher. In Japan we didn't have one and it was a bummer! I know there are mixed opinions out there but honestly, I really really enjoy having a dishwasher. There isn't too much difference between a stateside dishwasher and a German dishwasher except for a few things. Here in Germany, we have hard water. Because of this, the machines have a special area to put in Spezial-Salz. Posted by Mike C. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. As a Mom, I know...

The Wurst Years: December 2013
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Morroco, Portugal, The Canaries and Spain. Besides all of the precautions one needs to take to avoid weather depression. It makes "cents" to shop around and do a little homework. We spent 1 day in Barcelona before departing. Most folks would assume that we took a Ryanair flight but it turns out that most of the time, the Ryanair flight schedules tend to be out of sync with our cruise schedule in Spain. So, instead we took another discount flight ( Iberia. For a foodie like m...

The Wurst Years: Praha
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2013/11/praha.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. To view all photos from our Prague holiday, click here. Recently, we visited a city that was friendly on the wallet and a fabulous place to experience: Prague, or as the locals call it, Praha. I'll preface this by writing that I really hope I don't offend anyone out there. Please gather comfort in the thought that I am being honest and naive in my writings. Slowly but surely I hope the reader can understand that I am learning as I go. Our family decided to drive. We were able ...

The Wurst Years: Bad Sobernheim Barefoot Path
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2013/08/bad-sobernheim-barefoot-path.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. Bad Sobernheim Barefoot Path. A year or so ago, Nicki and Josh took a trip up to Bad Sobernheim to hike the Barefoot Path. Joshua had so much fun, he couldn't wait to go back. Nicki. not so much. So over the following months, Joshua periodically asked if I could take him up there again. Today was the day; and it was just Joshua and me - a little father/son hang out time. The trip up to Bad Sobernheim is scenic! GPS Address for Bad Sobernheim Barefoot Park:. 3,50 for adults and.

The Wurst Years: July 2012
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. So, here's where a person might want to stop thinking about punching me in the face (ie: 'You little twit, you're in Europe quit whining! I'm turning my bitch-fest car around right now, I promise. The sun came out finally! The last 2 days, have reached the high 80's and we've been taking advantage. I've been doing the minimum house work that I need to be doing and going outside. We've been spending some time at Gartenschau. A park that people pay money to walk around in bare foot?

The Wurst Years: May 2012
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Luxembourg American Cemetery Camp Out. What better way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than to camp out in the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial? Josh's Cub Scout Pack does this as an annual event, and this year was our first year to join in. What a blast! Sunday, the boys raised the flags again, while I packed up our campsite. When all was ready, we did our final Cub Scout "Leave No Trace" walk through and headed out. Pictures are on Flickr, here. Posted by Mike C. Travel...

The Wurst Years: Adventures in Crunch Land
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2012/11/adventures-in-crunch-land.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. Adventures in Crunch Land. Maybe it's that I'm getting older or, cheaper.I'm not quite sure what's bringing this all on but I find myself becoming more and more like a cruncher. A California tree huggin' granola cruncher to be exact. Okay, not so much granola these days.I prefer oatmeal, but I'll digress. I was able to come out with the Rosemary oil that I needed. The lady at the small shop down in town was helpful and I'm looking forward to going back to explore a little m...

The Wurst Years: Line Drying & Tricks of the Trade
http://wurstyears.blogspot.com/2012/08/line-drying-tricks-of-trade.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Line Drying and Tricks of the Trade. Then we moved back home and I kept up my line drying fetish. My husband thought I was a little odd. We bought an "old fashioned" hanger to post up in the back yard. (Although, I did miss the Japanese style of line drying. They dry their clothing on rods and not on lines. Click here to see an example. It keeps the house cooler during the Summer. It keeps the power bill down. Sometimes it really does dry faster. I can smell sunshine on my she...
