For those following the bronchitis: Bronchitis 25 Karen 0. Still working it. Still chasing Eileen. Still drinking tons of coffee to keep me vertical after all the other stuff I have been taking. Eric says that Saturday is sleep day.
We did a quick weekend trip to Prague last weekend. Fantastic city. LOVED it. The synagogue I visited was painted vibrant colors. We got to see an antique astronomical clock in action. We got to drink tasty hot alcoholic beverages (except Eileen who had hot pear juice with vanilla). We also got to spend about 20 hours on a bus for about 24 hours there...not a good ratio. And, for those wondering, there is no comfy way to sleep with a toddler on the bus (but extra points for Eric for trying so hard).

Chrismas in early October???
So, the treats for Christmas are already out at the Grocery. Happily, no one is piping in Carols yet. But, without Halloween and Thanksgiving to delay the Christmas foods, it starts getting cold, and out they come. It also helps that, as we discussed last year at this time, the day that Santa visits the kids is 5 December, so twenty days earlier than here. At least for some of the festivities.
Eileen is already trying to grab at the candies as we walk by....goodness, shopping with toddlers is sporting.
For those not facebooking, I have been pretty ill since our return from my cousin's wedding in September. Hence the lack of useful posts. I am on antibiotics and keep hoping that tomorrow will be the day that I wake up without coughing, and able to hold thoughts in my head. The blog has definitely suffered.

A while since last post
One of the joys of military life is that there are always new people arriving -- even if we have to say good bye to others too soon. So, I have been spending a bit more time on base meeting new folks and of course picking up our mail.
Otherwise, Eric is back in the US for the week, so Eileen and I are enjoying some great Mom-Daughter time (okay, we are enjoying some of that and some Mary Poppins -- her favorite movie).
Now is the time to explain that I don't really understand why UPS won't deliver to an APO. They won't. So if I am on-line shopping, there is a good chance that I cannot get whatever it is delivered here. But, with that small exception, I can get almost anything that I want sent here. Okay, not fresh green chile, but short of that need, almost anything else will arrive here.
