Troc and roll

Consignment stores here are a whole new ball game. Walking around you find things you never dreamed existed. Guessing at what they even are. And sometimes, amongst the crazy finds, is a treasure. It can be hard to resist buying things sometimes because you feel you will never see something like this again. 

Today was the day I stumbled across something special. I found a professional artist easel. For a steal. 

And until I need it for my studio, it does a great job displaying art. 

Thankful

It’s thanksgiving weekend. And this year I’m thankful I didn’t forget it. 

We headed out today looking for a bit of fall. A bike ride through the park under beautiful blue skies did the trick. 

Then home for Harry Potter Reading with roasted garlic, brie and bagette as a starter. 

Life if not without its challenges but it’s important to find balance. So this year I’m thankful for

- another year of adventure in Belgium

- understanding family and friends who allow us this adventure 

- a community of new friends who have become our family here

- the growing relationship between our kids as they grow together and support each other 

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
