I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

A Week Ending in Kimchi


On Saturday we were up early and headed to GMDaewoo's "2010 Kimchi Event for Sharing Love," where volunteers make Kimchi (a Korean dietary staple) for those less fortunate. All GMDAT employees and their families were invited to participate.
Beautiful fall morning

We arrived in time for a tour of Kyle's work digs.

It was a fun day for a good cause. We were "kimchi'ed out" and came home to enjoy a very Amercian lunch: Tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Speaking of food, now that we're into the second trimester, we are able to enjoy the many culinary delights that Seoul offers. Last Sunday we had trouble deciding. Everything sounds good (finally)!
Mexican? Italian? (behind Kyle) We ended up choosing Indian-yum!
All in all, a good week. I hosted our flower arranging class, attended our monthly neighborhood luncheon--getting around was a little difficult as busloads (yes, busloads) of poilce were in our neighborhood for security. Apparently all the G-20 First Ladies were touring the Korean Furniture Museum near us. Finally, on Saturday night we enjoyed a dinner party at our good friends Larry and Dorie's where we met new friends Vlad and Tanya and their eight month old son Denis. So cute!
Almost finished

    And how did your "flower instructor" like Pete? If I remember, she was afraid of a dog 1/8 of his size!!! Is that why his picture was taken outside? haha! You look fabulous!

    @Jess--she didn't like it when he walked around/toward her, but he stayed on his blanket in the corner (near the window door, that's why he looks like he's outside) most of the time :)
