I asked a group of schoolchildren a simple question about South Africa. I couldn’t stop giggling at one little girl’s answer…

Drinking Like the Trophy Wife of an Oil Tycoon
26 May 2013
The blog name is Traveling Marla right? So I’ll stick to the theme, see, I promised Marla I wouldn’t get her blog closed by picking touchy subjects like public exposure. (I had a great post about public exposure.) Anyhow, I’m gonna tell you about my last trip to Turkey, lovely country. It was a little … More Drinking Like the Trophy Wife of an Oil Tycoon

Turtle Fear and the Reluctant Animal Rescue
23 May 2013
The Fourth of July. 2010. It was mid-afternoon, so the streets weren’t super jammed yet, but they would be soon.

I slipped on my … More Turtle Fear and the Reluctant Animal Rescue

The Little Holiday Card that Wasn’t
22 December 2012
Kurt says this little gem should be our Christmas Card. I say I’m glad I trimmed my nose hairs for days I’m wearing deer antlers. Truth be told, we didn’t manage to send holiday cards this year. Maybe Baxter will send a Happy New Year letter instead. Hope you’re safe and happy and loved this … More The Little Holiday Card that Wasn’t

A Case of the Puckering Buckeye and the Other Puckering Buckeye
31 August 2012
I have a problem with my mouth. It doesn’t necessarily listen to the relatively small part of my brain that tells me to be graceful, be still in a moment, be couth. In other words, I blurt; brain-to-mouth with relatively no filter.
