Ready made notes for the holiday season

-
I know that with the holidays coming it is harder and harder to sit down at a computer to write. So to help us all out with communication I have created some ready made notes. All you have to do is cut and paste, fill in if needed and send to sreaves@southern.edu . If you want to make it even easier all you have to do is reply to this blog, just know that I can’t reply to you unless you leave your email address. Enjoy the holidays.

Ready made note for those who have a little bit of time (cut and paste):

My dearest Sonya,

It has been _______ since I last saw you. I read your blog (once in a while/ never/ ALWAYS) _______ . It always makes me feel ________.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that _____________. And that I have a ________. I hope to see you again when you return.

I love you (more than I love cheese/ like I love my brother/ truly madly deeply) ___________.

Signed, forever your avid ________...


Or for those of you who don’t have any time at all to write:

Hey Sonya,

Sorry I am to busy to sit down and send you a note. I am aware that you understand what it is like to be crazy busy in America. I enjoy reading your notes to me and wish you could be here to read them to me. But alas I understand and will wait until you return and can re-enact all the drama for me!

Take care and know that I am praying for you just as you are praying for me.

Signed, your friend...

My dearest Sonya,

It has been decades since I last saw you. I read your blog ALWAYS while I'm on the pot (my porcelain darling). It always makes me feel relieved.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that pigs are flying in my backyard. And that I have a big wart on my big toe. I hope to see you again when you return.

I love you truly madly deeply doo, sorry I just love cheese too much.

Signed, forever your avid snorter...

Tales from an exile

Well today the majority of the students have been gone from the school leaving me and just a very tiny group of working students and green house workers to run the place. I must be honest I wasn't very excited about being left behind while everyone else went to an faraway land to do mission work. Especially because one group was going to Honduras, the very first place I lived outside of America. I would have LOVED to visit my old home at El Hogar de Ninos. But alas I was left here to 'run' things. After I saw the light of all the fun, Kaisa, Tiina and I could have I began to get excited. So now after a week I would love to tell you about our tales. All week I worked doing things from cataloging library books, covering new books, planning my recruiting trip through Scandinavia, cooking in the kitchen, taking the trash out and cleaning Solhoug down the hill. The days have been diverse enough and I have been able to listen to great music and books on tape. (a side note about t

I am on the move again. I know that I'm hard to get ahold of or that I'm always going somewhere new but this time I'm not. I'm going back to a place I've been before, a place that I have called home. I'm moving to Oakhurst, California. The town right outside the Southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. I am their new Kindergarden teacher. That's right, a bunch of little kids and I are going to learn together We are going to conquer the world of colors, numbers and letters. We will go where no other 5 and 6 year old have gone before! We will explore the outdoors, our imaginations and the world of knowledge. It is going to be grand. After I finish up here in Arizona I'm heading up and over, school starts in a little bit and I've got a classroom to prepare. God is good. "For I know the plans I have for you, "says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you hope and a future ." Jeremiah 29:1

Almost nearly perfectly content.

Tonight was great. I finally have my own kitchen and now I finally have my own food to cook. I went shopping yesterday (which will have to wait till the next story to tell about those adventures) and bought a few staple items. Included in those things was an avocado which I was given. I decided tonight to check that avocado for ripeness and found it to be the perfect time for it to be devoured. Then that's what I decided to do, I cut it up and put it on a plate. Then I realized I had nothing else to put on it. . . until it hit me like a speeding train, "I have onions I can put with it." Then I realized I can also put some of my diced tomatoes with it to to make a salsa. After mixing it all up and being ready to eat I realized something else. . . who would want to eat it just like this by itself. Here's where it gets really exciting. I got out my flour and salt and baking powder, mixed it in a bowl and made tortillas. It was fantastic. I haven't felt this self rel
