A Friend’s Travel Woes - 20 Jul 2007
I will no longer complain about the difficulties of travel. Our good friend Rob Browne returned home this week from a month long mission trip to Russia. He was traveling with two of his young sons and his 62 year old mother. They were about half way home when tragedy struck. [...]

The last leg of my journey this summer was to stop in Madrid, Spain to meet Cecilia’s husband and four children. This was by far the most pleasant portion of my trip. I was treated like an honored guest and shown the true meaning of Polish hospitality. That’s right, I was in [...]

Cecilia de la Hoz and I met when we were 13 years old in 8th grade. Our dads were each working in France at the time and so our paths crossed while we were attending the American School of Paris. Cecilia is from Madrid, Spain and I am from Ft. Worth, Texas, but a fast [...]

After visiting L’Orangerie I set off for the Louvre. One of the things that has changed about Paris since we lived there is Le Pyramid. The plans and construction of this new architectural feature were just beginning when we left Paris in 1987. With only a few hours I had to decide where [...]

I arrived in Kiev, Ukraine on Sunday and was met by a wonderful young woman named Tatyana. She is a Ukrainian Christian, a law student, and fortunately for me she speaks English. She is also the daughter of one of the Ukrainian missionaries who have been working at the camps with the kids [...]

We bought a waterproof camera for our Florida vacation and we just got the pictures developed. Here are a few shots from our second dolphin adventure. As you can see I was a little more brave about approaching them, but I was still hyperventilating. There is nothing between the dolphins and [...]

Only three days left until I leave for Kiev, Ukraine. (It’s amazing how much a mother has to do in order to leave town for a few days. I think the other mothers out there understand this completely.)
I’ve heard from WWYC that their work in the orphanages is going well. They have [...]
