Merry Christmas Y’all! That’s right – we’ve done what we can to spread some Christmas spirit around Kuwait. Well, we spread it all over the house but that’s a start. We love this time of year. Anita has made enough cookie dough to feed an army of elves. I have Christmas carols playing on any […]

The Fall Colors Are Out!
This time of year is always a bit busy. Halloween, Aunt Sissy’s birthday, Sydney’s Birthday, Thanksgiving, class parties, birthday parties, lots and lots and lots of stuff. Fun stuff, just lots of it. We love decking out the halls for each of the holidays so as soon as we started packing up Halloween all of […]
Godwin’s Hollow on Flickr
So for the few of you that stop by from time to time and haven’t noticed our little LEGO city – Godwin’s Hollow – it exists. Much to the chagrin of Anita it actually takes up a sizable chunk of upstairs. Anyways, Sydney and I enjoy adding to it as often as we can and […]
Patching Anita’s Tire
Since we had to retire the Death Star Anita has been driving around in something that Kia is trying to pass off as an SUV. Maybe it is for folks below the 38th parallel but for Godwin sized peeps it’s a bit snug. We’ve driven worse in Kuwait but it’s no Death Star. Anyways, after school started […]
We were hacked…
I’m sure both of y’all had noticed the ridiculous links all over everywhere for a certain type of predatory loan. Apparently someone got into GoDaddy’s servers (where we host our domain) and started planting code to put those links all over WordPress blogs. Well it’s taken FOREVER to track down the code that had been […]
Villa Al Godwin 3 is coming along
Anita & Sydney will be coming home from their summer in the States within a week which is AWESOME! It does, however, mean that I’ve got to get the house in some semblance of order within the week. The girls were only home for a few weeks before taking off for the summer leaving me […]
Who’s Cuisine Will Reign Supreme?
Ours will in our awesome kitchen! The biggest drawback to our new place was that the kitchen was crap – especially compared to our old kitchen which was an amazing kitchen for Kuwait. So we started hashing out ideas for what to do in the kitchen right away but just moved in some of chrome […]
Moving is NOT one of my favorite things in the world…
So, the landlord decided he wanted more rent. But rather than be up front (ahem, a man) about it he decided to tell us that the x-wife was moving back in and we had to be out. He did give us 12 months but not wanting to live with that particular stumbling block right around […]
Christmas in Kuwait 2012
Well it’s that time again folks. All of the fall leaves and cornucopias have been packed away and Christmas is here! At least at Villa Al Godwin. As anyone who knows us will attest to when we moved over here 35 feet of our forty foot container was Christmas. It has taken quite a while […]
Boo! Halloween Decorations are going up…
Despite a rather nasty bout with the Kuwaiti Crud over the last week we’ve managed to get Halloween down from storage and up and running around the house. The house is still in a state of flux as a lot of the furniture is still not here but not a bad job all around if […]
