Ducks in the Pond Behind the Library in Mesa

Yesterday we took Fiona to the library again. She had to return those 20 books so she could get 20 more.

Behind the library here in Mesa is a pond with ducks. Nearby is a park and even a small observatory. We'll have to go back to see about that observatory.

Enjoy the pictures of Fiona!

Fiona Teaches Class - Then Heads for Castle Rock

Fiona had an opportunity to 'teach' Mrs. Parker's class, showing them where she's traveled. Once the school day ended, Fiona took some quiet time to read a book in the classroom to herself. Joel also was able to play his mandolin for the class.

The next day we had to replace a burned out headlight. We stopped [...]

Fiona Makes a Snow Angel in Rice Lake

Fiona went outside in the snow today and made her first snow angel. It was cold! After seeing the ice on the lake she decided it was time to come on back in. We'll have to get some real winter gear to come back here in the winter.

We did find my two pair of gloves. One [...]

Federal Illinois Food

Fiona gets a little impromptu home schooling. Of course, 90% of her schooling is impromptu. It's not hard teaching an insatiably curious child who reads at college level and loves to talk.

Okay, sometimes it's hard, like trying to define words in a way she'll take away and care about. Thank you, Charles Handy, for a [...]

Bowling in Granby

. . . or Why Daddy Won't Be Teaching Fiona How To Bowl . . .

Yes, I know the video says 'Cowansville' . . . I have no idea how that could have happened . . . nomads are never confused about where they are, or where they've been, or where they're going . . [...]

Fiona is Enjoying the Rain

Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day. Fiona and her new friends played outside quite a bit. When we lived in California Fiona didn't play outside much. We didn't have much of a yard and it wasn't safe to let her play in the unfenced area in the front. So she's been more of an inside [...]

Fiona is a Princess in New Mexico

We stayed with Sonja on October 2 and her two children. Sonja is an artist and painted this beautiful mural in her children's room. Her daughter let Fiona borrow dress up clothes so Fiona felt like a princess. So we got these pictures to show off Fiona and the beautiful artwork of Sonja.

Fiona is a [...]

Thank you Terry and Virgie for making us feel so welcome in your home. We are looking forward to coming back in January/February and spending more time with you both. Joel will enjoy helping Terry work on his next book as well.

Fiona will enjoy the cookies on the [...]

Fiona did a lot of swimming when she was very little since we lived in apartments with pools until she was 2. However she hasn't done much swimming in the past 4 years. Periodically she has been able to [...]
