LYNNY'S DEFINITELY NOT IN KANSAS
OR FROM KANSAS) LAH!
|
Originally from Manchester in the UK, my husband, kids and I spent 6 years in CT before moving to Leesburg in Northern Virginia. My husband's job brought us the opportunity to live in Singapore for awhile. So, in 2011, the hubby and myself moved to "The Little Red Dot", as Singapore is affectionally known. I decided to set up this site/blog thinking it would be an easy way for our family and friends to see photos, and follow us as we embraced this new phase in our lives. Somehow, it morphed into something more, something I really enjoyed creating. I became a blogger!!
Having never done anything like a blog or website before it, was a complete learning curve for me, but I embraced the challenge, learning a lot as I went along. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!

I subsequently spent until December 2018 mostly in Singapore, but also made frequent trips over those 8 years back to my home in Leesburg, VA, which is now our permanent home. I love that I was able to document my many trips throughout Asia and beyond. So many fun experiences I can look back on, with hopefully more adventures still to come and document. I am a total so called "novice" blogger still. You will notice that this site is not punctuated with adverts, and though I may have collaborated a few times, it is not something I do very often. I am not looking to monetize my blog. I do it purely for myself, and for anyone who may be possibly be interested in reading about my adventures. Thanks for dropping by.

WHY THE NAME IT'S LYNNY KANSAS?
|
A lot of people ask me about the blog's name, why It's Lynny Kansas? Am I from Kansas? Well, here is the scoop. Way back in the late 90's when I was living in Glastonbury CT, we had some really good friends who had a mischievious little girl called Megan. It was Halloween, and I dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, although with a twist- Dorothy was older now, hence the blacked out teeth, wider waistline and the empty basket because alas Toto was now dead!! After seeing me in the costume, Meg started calling me Lynny Kansas every time she saw me. Somehow it just stuck and her whole family started calling me by the nickname, and they still do all these years later. Lots of people call me Lynny anyway so it just seemed fitting to use my funny nickname as the title of this blog. So there you have it - Lynny has never even been to Kansas!
