Aha, now you are divorced!
16 May 2013 | 2:17 pmWe just got back from a family holiday at Akti Beach Club in Kos. I once eschewed the idea of staying at an all-inclusive resort, my pre-conceived notion that this wasn’t really traveling, and how outrageous to visit a country just for its sunshine and warmth. This was, of course, before I lived in The Netherlands and had children. I’ve always believed that children lead their parents to a space or a place to help them find peace. My Lauren did just that with Akti, wanting to celebrate her 10th birthday there. We discovered Akti last May–thanks to good research by… -
Received Card #97 & 98
16 May 2013 | 1:29 pmI received this great and colorful card from Beam in Thailand. He bought this card while on vacation in China!

Anne from the Netherlands sent me this card she said she made as a child. I can relate! I have a lot of cards I made as a child. The front says “Te laat” which means “too late” in Dutch. The card wasn’t late, and I think it’s really cute! -

Tymoshenko Judgment - Former Ukranian Prime Minister Arbitrarily Detained
