Hello from the Capitol of Canada, In spite of many travels, and a couple of previous journeys to what I have referred to as “East Detroit,” more accurately called Windsor, I have never really been to Canada.

Languages, Locations, and Learning

So Much in Seven Days
Hello from Kraków and from Oświęcim, Our traveling group has spent a busy week listening intently in classes, learning their bearings around Kraków, and attempting some simple greetings in Polish.

Full Circle
Hello from Caribou, I have been here in Menomonie for the last 4 1/2 days and have a couple left to go.

However, I need to relax and is often the case, myContinue reading “Memories of Days and Years Past”
Wondering how . . .
Hello on a Sunday evening where I am working to organize my jumbled thoughts (life, existence, viewpoints or), I can only try to begin comprehending he array of thoughts, concerns, and yes, perhaps, degree of fear that might overwhelm me unless I take some time to think about it and compose some of those thoughtsContinue reading “Wondering how . . . “
¿En que agujero colocar? or A Mother I never knew
Hello from my office, It has been a hectic week and there seems to be very little change in sight. I know that some of you think I enjoy the merry-go-round, but that is really not the case. It the literal sense, I get sick on merry-go-rounds, but in the figurative sense, there are certainlyContinue reading “¿En que agujero colocar? or A Mother I never knew”
In the midst of Wonder
