Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Friday, January 20, 2012. Snow Shots by Murtaja. Meet Murtaja, one of my newest homestay students from Saudi. He's an avid photographer and very creative with the camera. Here are a few of my favorite shots that Murtaja took of our January snow:. Hail on the Azalea. A Real Balancing Act. And to think, not one of those billions of snowflakes is alike! Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Not a good way to start out the blogging year, eh? Last night the sky was p...

Home to the World: It's Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas
http://hometotheworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-starting-to-look-lot-like-christmas.html
Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Sunday, December 4, 2011. It's Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas. Santa's helpers: Ezra (Indonesia) and Tae (South Korea). First you feed them. Then you get them to build. In the past I'd take my students an hour north to Arlington where there's an excellent choice of Christmas tree farms, and we'd cut our own. But every year little critters. Managed to hitch-hike home with us. Three years ago one of those critters spun its own Christmas. Its Starti...

Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Tuesday, June 7, 2011. What a lucky shot with my simple point and shoot camera! A 'Peace' of Solitude. Once in awhile a busy mama needs the peacefulness of solitude. I am thankful for this little piece of creation near my home where I can go to commune with God and come away refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to face the day. Peace and Blessings,.

Home to the World: Happy New Year!
http://hometotheworld.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year.html
Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. OK, I know the month is half over, but I'm wishing you all a happy new year, anyway! Toshi, one of my former homestay students, surprised me with a gift from his mom and him. These are the traditional new year's gift crackers that are given among friends in Japan. Thank you, Toshi! I'm sure there is a significance in each of these crackers, but before I could text Toshi to ask him, I hit the 'publish' button by mistake!

Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Thursday, July 25, 2013. HelloAnyone still out there? I talked to my sister in Texas today. She reminded me in her sweet way that she still checks my blog every once in awhile to see if the student with the red hoody has been replaced with a more current photo! I've neglected my blog for over a year and a half! And, I even retired this year, so what's my problem? I should have more time, yah? And that's a promise! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My internat...

Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Here's a mixture of miscellany from the month of May! Hyun Wook, my former homestay student from South Korea, and his mother visited for a couple of days en route to his brother's graduation from Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was wonderful seeing them again! Made several visits and his brother. Also lived in my home for a year. Yes, the Cho family is very special to me! I've got lots of pretty flowers in my yard, but my y...

Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Helping Japan One Pin Badge at a Time. March 11, 2011 at 2:46 pm will forever be etched in my memory! Sadness engulfed me as I learned about the earthquake, tsunami and radiation leak that devastated the northeastern coast of Japan on that day. What about Toshi's family? And what about all my former Japanese homestay students- all thirteen of them? Where were they when this triple whammy slammed Japan? My wife is helping a non-...

Home to the World: My Persian and American Friends
http://hometotheworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-persian-and-american-friends.html
Home to the World. A homestay mother's experiences. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. My Persian and American Friends. I'm next to the oldest in our group (our ages span from the early 40's to the mid 70's), but age doesn't make a difference to any of us. My friends are such a blessing to me, it's like having a wonderful Christmas present all year long! Just look at all the beautiful Christmas touches Mitra added to her dining room. What a clever gal, she is! Have you ever seen chicken drums this pretty?
