Sorry folks; for anyone who actually reads my rantings ... I'm not gone. I'm just on vacation.
For some silly reason, I thought a camping trip to Canada with Smilin' Vic and Kiddo would be the perfect time to catch up on blogging.

NOT.

But it's been an amazing opportunity to catch up on s'mores, spooky camp side stories, camping breakfasts, UNO, frigid morning lake dips, moose sitings, Anne of Green Gables retellings, country song sing-alongs, and so much more.

An expat's opportunity to catch up on seven years of lost 'simplicity' and 'the basics of life'.

"So baby, let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society, you cry all day

We've been so busy keeping up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love"

Don't forget me ... I'll be pining away in Doha before you know it....
