Avonlea Q. Krueger
Writer, reader, chain tea drinker, homeschooler, boymom, dual citizen with my heart in two countries, lover of times past and times yet to come, seeker of all that is beautiful and good.

Avonlea Q. Krueger blames her love of books and travel on her parents, who first named her after a fictional town in a book, and then moved her to five different states before the age of eight. After spending the rest of her childhood in Midwestern America, Avonlea went on to study at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, where she met her husband and began her ties with the British Isles. Since her university days, Avonlea has traveled to more than twenty countries outside of America. After eight years of living in a stone house in a quiet Scottish village, she and her husband and their four young sons are finally mostly adjusted to life in the States. They are enjoying (surviving?) their adventures in homeschooling and remodeling their rambling brick Victorian house, for their biggest DIY project yet.

What a beautiful start to something that I know is going to be amazing. I am so happy for you sis! I am glad that you found something to bring out your great talent for words and pretty thoughts.
What a beautiful little site you have here, Avonlea. I found it just now as I was browsing through the WP Gardening feed. I’ll look forward to reading bits and pieces of your blog every morning this week as I sit for my morning cup of tea. And by the way, I love your name! Avonlea is a beautiful name.
Grace & blessings!
Hello!

We lived in England for 3 years while I was in the USAF and I was surprised that it required a modest readjustment when we returned home. I can only imagine what the transition is like for your family.
It is amazing, isn’t it? People ask, and I can only say it is 1,000 little things that make the two places different. Yes, the scenery, the culture, the food, the houses, but also more. Something different about the way people live and see life. Especially if you are in a small village like we were. Thanks so much for the comment!
