The Last – Like Trees in Winter
https://liketreesinwinter.com/2015/08/15/the-last
Like Trees in Winter. August 15, 2015. August 16, 2015. Last Sunday was the last Sunday. When I wrote that line, I was beginning a story about some of our best friends who were preparing to move out of state. We went to church for the last time as a group of SoCal locals and I was sentimental about losing the geographical closeness. I wrote it down while brushing my teeth, thinking over the day and what it would mean as the week turned new. Once they move, Mary’s son wants a dirt bike. Now that I think o...

Living in Bolivia…. Monthly Archives: December 2014. November 2014 – Rio Grande. December 4, 2014. The Rio Grande. We explored this river a couple years ago and have always wanted to go back but the water levels were always too low when we had the time to make a trip, till this one! It took … Continue reading →. The thoughts on this blog are all mine and don't reflect the thoughts of my husband or the NGO that he works for, just so no one is confused :). November 2014 – Rio Grande. Back on the river.

August 17, 2015. August 17, 2015. Oh, Schooling…. Where do your kids go to school? It’s a popular question parents make at gatherings. In my living room, I reply somewhat gingerly. She tries to wear her ‘no big deal face,’ but the cringe shows through clearly. With a little too much gusto she responds, Oh!

Blue – Like Trees in Winter
https://liketreesinwinter.com/2015/08/17/blue
Like Trees in Winter. August 17, 2015. August 17, 2015. In the spring of 2004 I birthed my first child along with all happy thoughts and linear, logical, lifted thinking. What was I thinking?

Apparently Japanese people just don't do postcards) so I rang up to reassure them I had been thinking of them. It's interesting. Was I happy -er. I don't remember asking myself that question while I was there. There were...
