The Bolivia Experiment: Back Home
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-home.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Well, the original idea was to keep a running diary of our trip to Italy. The largest obstacle to that goal was lack of Internet access at many of the places we stayed. Our trip was fabulous. Definitely what we all needed. John grew a beard (sort of) which I loved, surprising because I'm not a big fan of facial hair. He looked so relaxed in it though! I got a really good tan for the first time in probably 20 years! Here's the Italy vacation in a nutshell. June 18th - Pompei! July 1...

The Bolivia Experiment: Odds and Ends
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/odds-and-ends.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. Last night I bought my ticket to go see my baby girl for Parents Weekend! Strange sight - saw a pizza delivery guy get a ride from a police officer on his motorcycle. John's on his way to Dayton, Ohio to run the 13th Air Force Marathon. It happens to land on the 13th anniversary of the accident that took his leg! I'm homesick for both the States and Canada! September 14, 2009 at 7:56 PM. Were homesick for you too, miss you and love you xoxoxo. September 14, 2009 at 11:08 PM.

The Bolivia Experiment: January 2009
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Another picture perfect day. Jake had Boy Scouts this morning. While he did that I scooted over to buy a birthday gift for a little girl in his class. I thought to call a friend to see if she'd like to meet me at our "almost there" house.she did but not until 11:30. Okay! Diana brought some other of the Embassy ladies (all terrific! With her as she was out and about with them when I called. We toured the house and then decided that it was time for lunch! TGIF or maybe not.

The Bolivia Experiment: October 2009
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. It's always so nice coming back to the States. John and I arrived Sunday night, the 4th. We spent the night at a hotel by the airport then drove to Georgia on Monday morning. It was hard to turn off of I-10 and head north instead of carrying on until we hit Tallahassee! Lisette (and we) had to wait another 24 hours. So we hit Best Buy and found one on clearance. Parents Weekend was great! Seeing Lisette was even better! We're back in our house, ordered a bedroom set, a dining s...

http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/well-all-was-quiet.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. Well, All WAS Quiet. This has been a quiet Saturday but our friend took Buddy for a walk with her Golden Retriever only to find her SUV vandalized when she returned to our house. John and Joanne are outside dealing with it - I had just opened up my blog to write when Joanne rang our doorbell. Living in a big city. :-(. It looks like a doll house or a playhouse that's been blown up to adult size! So now the four of us (John, Nicole, Jake and I - missing Lisette!

The Bolivia Experiment: May 2009
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. It's been another busy few weeks and my work hours are about to increase as the wonderful nurse who normally works the full-time position is leaving! So I'll fill in the gaps a bit until we hire another RN. Friday I worked in the morning then taught a CPR class in the afternoon at USAID, their building is a little closer to home than the Embassy. It was a long day though and our finale was Lisette's final chorus concert in high school. :-(. We got home around 12:30 and had some drin...

The Bolivia Experiment: Eight Years Later
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/eight-years-later.html
Friday, September 11, 2009. We had a moment of silence in the Embassy this morning. Hard to believe it's been eight years but then again, so much has changed since then.good and bad. On a much lighter note - dropped John off at a function this evening (a guy thing) and the house number was 7. We found the street, it was a short one and noticed the first number was 70 which concerned us.the next one was 100.beside it was number 7. Go figure. Weird place we live in. Have a fabulous weekend! Love to you all!

The Bolivia Experiment: November 2008
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. John and I arrived yesterday afternoon. The wake is tomorrow and the funeral mass/burial is Monday. The kids are with our wonderful friends in La Paz, but it's strange to be on a different continent than your babies! John's dad is doing well, considering. His mom fell apart a bit at the airport but she's doing pretty darn well too. They're the best in-laws a woman could ask for. I'll not likely blog for a few days but I'll be back when I'm back in Bolivia! A little later on, ...

The Bolivia Experiment: March 2009
http://theboliviaexperiment.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. Busier Than Usual Week. It's been nuts. Not ugly but there's been no time to notice the roses much less smell them. And then last night was a reception at the Colombian Ambassador's residence. The Attache functions are mostly voluntary for the wives/husbands so it wasn't a big deal. John was home just after 10 and I had a chance to catch my breath. Now we have two events to go to this evening. Tomorrow is going to be a VERY quiet day! Wednesday, March 18, 2009. My English profes...
