Teaching in Guate: Thankful and Busy
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011/11/thankful-and-busy.html
Happy Thanksgiving to you, long-suffering readers of my blog. I'm not sure this webpage has really deserved the title of "blog" as it is more like a monthly periodical, one which you have ceased to pay for and now use for decoupage or something like that. On the weekends, Heather and I try to see as much as we can and enjoy the company of our new friends. Here is a picture of us with Andrea at her flamenco dancing recital. Flamenco is such an interesting dance. Some routines are choreographed, but th...

Teaching in Guate: October 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
I'm sorry for my sporadic blogging. There is so much to tell you; life here hasn't stopped. Instead of trying to catch you up on every detail, I've decided to include some mysterious curios of Guate. Exhibit B: Softball hat. Exhibit C: Pan flute classics. Heather and I took a wonderful trip to Antigua this weekend. Another update to follow. Happy Fall, everyone. I found out two things the other day: my students listen sometimes and my students don't know what clothes are. Since then, my map has fallen of...

In Fields Yet Fallow: April 2014
http://infieldsyetfallow.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
In Fields Yet Fallow. Thoughts about faith and life from a Whitworth alumna. Sunday, April 13, 2014. I get Christianity Today magazine and read an intriguing article towards the end of the April issue last week. Here's the first line: "The report is in, and the eulogy has been delivered. Romantic comedies are dead. I say that's good news." I was hooked. What could the writer possibly mean? My new favorite animated movie. Instead of the act of true love being a true love's kiss in. This article hits close...

In Fields Yet Fallow: The Beauty of Words

In Fields Yet Fallow. Thoughts about faith and life from a Whitworth alumna. Sunday, March 9, 2014. The Beauty of Words. I've spent the last couple months tangled up in the beauty and excitement of language. This emergent theme in the last couple months prompted me to take a three-pronged approach to. Language to my life during this Lenten season instead of fasting. Journal for 15 minutes each day. No less time, but perhaps more time if I feel lead. Blog once a week.

In Fields Yet Fallow. Thoughts about faith and life from a Whitworth alumna. Monday, November 18, 2013. Thought you'd never hear from me again? Here I am again, eating a freshly-baked molasses cookie. I don't usually do trial runs of recipes before serving them to guests, but I made an exception for molasses cookies. Here are several highlights from the last month of my life:. That looks like outer space! 3 Since September, the aforementioned Gerry and I have been cooking meals for a monthly family night...

Teaching in Guate: September 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
I'd Rather Have a Snow Day. I've never had school canceled for anything but snow. The seemingly harmless flakes were so inviting as I watched the morning news, waiting impatiently for my school to crawl across the screen with the words: "CANCELED" or "2 HOUR DELAY" close behind. Ah, snow days. Here in Guate, we have earthquake days. I was on lunch duty today when I felt the first earthquake. It wasn't huge, but it was substantial enough to cause quite a stir amongst the students. Terremotos. In other new...

Teaching in Guate: August 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Everyone just needs a shuco. It's nice to be done with our first week of work. We've been lesson planning from 8-4 every day and I'm about ready to put away The World and Its Cultures. In Spanish, however, is not fun. We've been told: "oh, don't walk at night. It's very dangerous. And never walk alone. Or jog. Or go to any zone except 14. And even then, don't wear nice clothes, or jewelry, or talk on your cell phone, or have blonde hair, or look American." Nice. I think I said "que rico! It was wonderful...

My sister and I helped her from her wheelchair to the. Two weeks later, I sat in the Ash Wednesday service at church and listened to the words of invitation to the observance of Lent:.

In Fields Yet Fallow. Thoughts about faith and life from a Whitworth alumna. Saturday, September 14, 2013. I got it into my head that I wanted to make ricotta cheese this weekend. I think it was partly because my favorite cooking blog. Posted a tutorial about it recently and partly because I would be up on the South Hill where I could get milk from a local Spokane dairy:. I met the woman who owns this farm with her husband last March when I took a cheese-making class. I'm thinking of freezing some of my ...
