En 12 días comienzan las vacaciones, en 15 días, comienza la gran aventura. Estoy tratando de mantenerme en el presente, pero estoy ansiosa y emocionada de que comience este viaje.
Read MoreDentro de tres semanas decidiré si intentaré dormir o simplemente permaneceré despierta hasta que lleguemos temprano al aeropuerto. So close now.
Read MoreLas lecciones de español de la noche anterior incluían palabras de ubicación: debajo, sobre, dentro de, fuera de, arriba, abajo, junto a, a un lado, a la izquierda, a la derecha, delante y detrás. ¡Seguro que serán útiles en el viaje!
Read MorePensé que debería agregar un mapa de nuestros destinos de cruceros. Comenzamos el crucero el 7 de diciembre, pero las vacaciones comienzan el 4 de diciembre en Nueva Orleans. Todo lo que puedo decir es que estoy muy lista para irme. Han sido unas semanas realmente largas. Ya estoy pensando en qué empacar, dónde comer […]
Read MorePor supuesto, no obtendremos esta vista mirando hacia el barco, pero, ¿qué asombroso es que estas naves gigantes puedan atravesar el canal? Solo diez lecciones más antes del viaje … y las escribiré sin la ayuda de un traductor. Sospecho que serán entradas más simples entonces.
Read MoreSolo cuarenta y ocho días hasta la gran aventura. El tiempo pasa tan rápido. Todos los días estoy revisando mis palabras en español y tratando de aprender otras nuevas. ¡Muchas palabras! Jajaja Quiero que el diario sea más que un simple informe meteorológico, o una lista de los lugares que vemos en el camino y […]
Read MoreLa lucha es real. Debe haber una manera más fácil de hacer que mi computadora haga la puntuación y los acentos en español. Pidiendo ayuda a un amigo mañana. Actualizaciones por venir.
Read MoreSesenta y dos dias hasta que nos vayamos. Ya estoy muy emocionada. Para mi diario, estoy preparando una lista de algunas palabras utiles. Palabras para el clima, compras, vistas, y sentimientos. Octubre 4: Solo sesenta dias ahora! Beinvenido a mi diario de viaje. Me permite practicar mi espanol, y espero que lo disfrutas. (English note […]
Read MoreBienvenido a mi diario de viaje para la Gran Aventura a Sudamérica, 2018. If you don’t know, I am learning Spanish, and I am super committed to it – I take lessons, via Skype, with professors in Mexico and well, I am making progress. So, I had this great idea that I would document the […]
Read MoreIt’s not a decent excuse for not having a current project, but being snowed in always seems to spark ideas… I realize that parts of the country need a reprieve from winter, and it may sound selfish to wish for it just because I want it, but come on winter, Oregon wants some white stuff […]
Read MoreSometimes you get a chance to be a part of something amazing. My first mosaic teacher and friend, Lynn Adamo, has done several community art projects that I have have the joy of being a small part of, and it has always left me feeling great about any little bit I was able to contribute. […]
Read MoreSo yeah the weather is unpredictable, but the smells on our walks are astoundingly sweet. Blooms everywhere. New plants for my yard. Hints of warm weather coming soon. And the Hillsboro Rotary club raffle is starting. Scholarships, support for the domestic violence resource center and people doing good for others. Hey spring, glad you are […]
Read MoreLet’s see how intuitive the new site is – I think I found where to make new posts (the last one was put on the site by my site builder for me) so I am going to test and see if I figured it out. Spring is all about new beginnings and this new site […]
Read MoreI am so stinking excited. What a difference it makes using a professional – Tisha Oehmen of Paradux Media has given my mosaic website a completely fresh and new platform. I could not be more pleased. The fact that Scott Palmer of Bag&Baggage recommended her spoke volumes to me, but feeling heard when explaining what […]
Read MoreMuch about where we go is influenced by where we have been. Sweet cousin Cathy tells me I should write it down. It feels daunting to track 52 years of movement. The same things that have enriched my life – the travel, living among other cultures, the people I have met (so many I have […]
Read MoreI think I had started to become daunted by the process of meeting someone and feeling like there has been so much life before this moment, so many experiences, people, connections triumphs and struggles that brought me to this point….how would I ever go about explaining all of that to someone new? Then, out of […]
Read MoreSeptember marked the passing of my pops. I will save the long story for those who know me enough to ask (if you really want to know) over an adult beverage sometime, and just add that it was a consuming change. Not because there was so much to do, I mean, there was a lot […]
Read MoreShould be heading to bed; I was talked into a “you are certain to get wet and muddy” 5k obstacle course tomorrow – though for a good cause – what was I thinking? My yard looks awesome – there are always more projects, but the pruning is so so so much better. I need to […]

Funny, as much as I like travel, the back to back thing is not my gig. I need down time to recharge and I am not sure my battery is full. Seems especially hard since though I know this training for Rotary president is required, the timing is just bad. San Jose of all places…oh […]

ok – so as I write this I am actually in Upham North Dakota. My arm is severely broken, the upper arm sporting a new rod from shoulder to elbow, and my shattered wrist held together with a plate and close to a dozen screws. I have been off work since September 10th, and we […]
Read MoreWhat gets into my brain to make me try to do stuff that A) I have not done before, B) I haven’t researched the process for, and C) could wind up being a lot of time spent with no useable end? I want so much to be excited about this mosaic, but I keep finding […]
Read MoreI got the gift story done…a combination of the old one bracketed by inspiration from the life and times of this snakewoman and a fanciful thread to connect it all. Based on the reaction of the two that have read it so far, it is a success! This weekend the pup goes to college – […]
Read MoreJust realizing it is time to start the inward journey…off tomorrow, home with the pup and new man. With the women on Saturday. My head is already moving that direction.
