The reason we went to Cairo was the NESA Teachers Conference. Most international schools are a part of a regional network of other schools in the area. Near East Schools’ Association. Each year they hold a teachers conference. I tried out for this conference back in October and found out in December that I hadContinue reading Cairo #2: NESA
Cairo #1: The Pyramids
Although we saw the pyramids on our last day in Cairo, it only seems fitting to post about these mammoth structures first. They are so very impressive. We arrived after noon–exhausted from the mini walk up. All we needed was some time in the shade under one pyramid with some water, and we were rejuvenated.Continue reading Cairo #1: The Pyramids
BAFAB
Amongst my rambling Internet voyages, I came across BAFAB: Buy a Friend a Book eWek. Basically this gal, Debra Hamel, started BAFAB back in 2005. During the first week of January, April, July, and October, you are encouraged to buy a book for a friend–for no particular reason. Cool! I can do that. I’dContinue reading BAFAB
The Samosas in India on a Friday Night!
Once Brian and Jen, with their four friends Jolene & Ryan and Jess & Hugo, arrived on Friday afternoon, our evening started. We began with some appetizers and happy hour drinks with a nice sunset at our apartment. There was a mix up with the van, so after we all got gussied up, we headedContinue reading The Samosas in India on a Friday Night!
TonyPappa
ASB has hired producer and director TonyPappa to make a film for the school. (We don’t call him just Tony; we call him TonyPappa to include his surname. It’s a great name to say;) While he’s been here, our family has had a chance to get to know him since he has been working inContinue reading TonyPappa
The Samosas are in India!
Brian and Jen arrived Saturday night with their friends Jes and Hugo and Joylene and Ryan. We were able to spend Sunday touring around South Bombay with them. It’s becoming quite normal to catch up with these two a couple of times a year. It feels so normal to meet up with Brian and Jen–evenContinue reading The Samosas are in India!
Honky Tonk Murder Mystery
Crystalline Daniels and Rowdy Lawless had a fun Saturday night. Basically, Bubba was shot in his office at his very own bar, and no one was leavin’ until the murderer was found. Luckily it was not neither of us. Crystalline worked as the barmaid of the saloon, and Rowdy was just passin’ through on hisContinue reading Honky Tonk Murder Mystery
Gigi’s Sports’ Day
I have now witnessed four Sports’ Days at ASB. This one by far was the best. The activities for the kids were punctuated with art and props. Gigi has been so excited for her own Sports’ Day. Enjoy this event through some pictures!
Vincent’s Sounds: Part I
I’m starting a new series about Vincent. Once a month he comes up with a new sound–a new sound that he continually makes for about 30 days. This one takes much effort and is at times obnoxious but is somehow still enjoyable. See for yourself: Untitled from Ann Krembs on Vimeo.
PON, Part I
The Parade of Nations is coming up at ASB. The Parade of Nations, referred to now as PON, used to be known as FON, the Festival of Nations. But that’s all history stuff. The main point of this post is to tell of Vincent’s maturity. Each year, the ASB child decides which nation they willContinue reading PON, Part I
Arabian Nights, ASB Ball, 2009
Aside from winning the grand prize, we had a fabulous time. Again, I’ll let pictures speak…

Last night, at the ASB Ball 2009, I won the Grand Prize: three nights at the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur! Looks like MaharAnnie will be going back for another fabulous weekend in Jaipur. Here’s a preview of the palace:
