Something Worth Knowing: August 2010
http://hollydekorte.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. Ten Days in Kyiv. Who knew there would be such a selection? From the left to right: Brenda, Carolyn, Val, me, Jon, Alyssa and Rachel in front of the WWII and Forced Famine Memorial. This past Saturday, a group of us set off to redeem last Saturday's extremely uncomfortable sight seeing day. We had a gorgeous day indeed. This is a group of us from school (minus Brenda's friend from the states and his interpreter). These are new faces that you'll probably see often! Ten Days in Kyiv.

Thoughts from the Ridge: Making Cheese
http://thoughtsfromtheridge.blogspot.com/2014/11/making-cheese.html
Thoughts from the Ridge. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Jody and I were at the Cheese Importers. In Longmont and ran across a kit to make your own mozzarella. So we said to ourselves, "We've seen them make it on TV, how hard can it be". So we decided to get the kit and then off to the store to get the ingredients. Luckily it really doesn't take much: a gallon of whole milk, some rennet, salt, and citric acid. Gather all the ingredients and instructions. Start heating the whole milk. G's All Around Me.

Something Worth Knowing: July 2011
http://hollydekorte.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. The First Half of 2011. I was reflecting on the first six months of 2011 and realized that I must have slept through January and February. Seriously, I have a faint memory of celebrating my birthday in January and venturing to Cyprus in February. Those first two months were spent inside at the pool, inside visiting with people and inside curled up with a book. But then, March hit. Kyiv. Came alive and so did I. Team so our five Kyiv. My co-coach, Morgan, my friends from Tirana.

Something Worth Knowing: November 2010
http://hollydekorte.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. This is what I woke up to on Sunday morning. This beautiful dusting of snow didn't stay around too long. By Sunday afternoon, most of it had melted away. The weather had called for 40 degrees F for Monday. So, I wore a dress with leggings. It might be the LAST time I wear a dress with leggings! Here are some observations I've made after two school days of snow:. 1 Begin getting ready for recess at least five extra minutes early. 2 Tell the students to put their gloves on LAST.

Something Worth Knowing: February 2011
http://hollydekorte.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. A Week in the Sun. Spring is slowly creeping toward Kyiv. Winter was not as brutal as I had anticipated. The weather was manageable, but the darkness and gray days were sobering. Luckily, our school had a week long February break. Seven of us fled the dark winter days and headed south to the island nation, Cyprus. We took our time waking up on Sunday and spent the morning swimming in our heated pool. The air felt light and quite refreshing. Rachel and I loaded ourselves...The o...

Something Worth Knowing: March 2012
http://hollydekorte.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. I did not correct him and say, "But I'm not a missionary teacher! I teach privileged children, children of diplomats, business men, aide workers. I teach children whose concept of family is a driver and a nanny who wait on their every whim. These are not the children of missionaries." No, I did not say that. I said, "I will." and walked away. My mother turned to me and said, "Are you a missionary? Do I raise funds? No Do I travel for enjoyment? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thoughts from the Ridge: September 2013
http://thoughtsfromtheridge.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts from the Ridge. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. In this dry community here, we would not expect there to be a title of a post like that. Many folks have asked us how we are and what it is like here. Well first, we are not anywhere near to the same situation as those in the higher country, Boulder, Longmont, Lyons, Jamestown, etc. We are very fortunate. As you now know Colorado starting having heaving rains early last week. Over all in Boulder, they had 19 inches of rain in just a few days. For our ...
