Reader. Writer. Teacher
One of these days you guys are going to get tired of me writing travel posts about the UK. But even when that day does arrive, I won't stop! I lived and studied in Oxford for a term when I was in college, and the rest is history. I visited again with my Mom in… Continue reading London Calling (Again)
Can I tell you a story? It involves a bit of jumping around in time and place, but I think it's worth telling. Last month I read a book by Frederick Buechner called The Remarkable Ordinary. It wasn't the first of his books I've read--a few years back I read his book Telling the Truth, and I… Continue reading The Consolation of Doubt
In just a few short days, 2017 will be over and we'll all be venturing into 2018 together! I thought today I'd share my 2017 wrap-up, including my top ten books of the year, my favorite blogging successes, and some other fun moments and memories from the last twelve months. Best Books of 2017 The… Continue reading 2017 Wrap-Up
Can you believe that summer is over? For most of the public schools here, students went back to school full time on July 31st. Even though that's the day I had to report for pre-planning, our students don't return until tomorrow. Which means tonight is the absolute last night of summer vacation! 😦 So, I… Continue reading Summer Wrap-Up
Happy Friday! It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything on the blog, mainly because I've been out of town for almost two weeks on a wonderful family vacation. But now that we're back and it seems that we're (sadly) on the downhill side of Summer, I thought I'd share a new book review and… Continue reading Upstream by Mary Oliver
It's officially Fall, which means it's time for Fall Break! I was so excited this year to actually receive a few days off to relax and regroup before we head further into the semester. While I've done a lot of sleeping and reading, I also thought it would be fun to sneak away to Milledgeville,… Continue reading Andalusia Farm: A Literary Excursion
It's now been almost a month since we left for the UK, which is really difficult to believe! After Mom and I had a few weeks to process, we've decided on some things that worked and some things that didn't. I hope this wrap-up post helps you in your future travels to the UK! 1.… Continue reading London Wrap-Up
Our last day in London got off to a slow start, but it was a wonderful day nonetheless! After six days of walking and walking, we were both pretty tired, so we planned a few last sights to see--including a Thames river cruise where we could (thankfully) sit down! Our first stop did involve some… Continue reading Day Seven: Last Day in London
After we returned, very tired, from our day trips to Stratford and Oxford, we had scheduled two final days in London to soak up everything the city had to offer. Thursday morning was gray and so, so cold. We hopped on the Tube to get to our first sight of the day: the Tower of… Continue reading Day Six: Mysterious London
We woke up on Wednesday morning and caught a train from Stratford to Oxford. Oxford is a very special place for me, since I spent three months there studying during my time at Auburn. I was excited to see the place again after five years. We started off by leaving our bags at the tourist… Continue reading Day Five: City of Dreaming Spires
