Christmas catch-up and The New Design
Christmas was a whirlwind. In typical fashion, I abandoned all semblance of routine during the holidays and focused on enjoying my vacation. Between moving to Germany, spending time with family, holiday shopping, reading good books, meeting new people, and lapsing nightly into a full on home-cooked food coma, I had plenty to keep me occupied.
The photo above is a dazzling view of the village and rolling German hills where I now live. It will make a fantastic base from which to start (and recuperate from) as many trips as I can afford/manage in the next year or more. I spent some time hiking around the hills with my dogs taking photos, but this view is by far my favorite, because I don’t even have to put on shoes to enjoy it.
Enjoyment can only last for so long before it deteriorates into excess, however, so us little elves went to work on the site behind the scenes. You’ve probably noticed the beautiful new design. It’s better organized and all the words have plenty of room to breathe. We even have a little logo up top now.
I’d like to thank James for all his hard work and generosity. The new design is the best Christmas present I’ve ever been lucky enough to receive. Visit James at The Phuse and commission him for some work if you need a snazzy new design for your own site.
As I work on new content, is there anything you’d like to see me write about this year? Leave a comment and let me know! Your input is priceless.

I must say, I’m pretty jealous of the new design. It looks and works very well so I’ll definitely be coming back often to read more. Your new home looks beautiful with the rolling hills as well.
Due to my own curiosity I’d like to hear about the cultural differences now that you have the U.S. and Canada to compare to your current home in Germany. Also, your progress in learning the language would be fun to hear about.
