Sunday in the Park | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/sunday-in-the-park
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. Sunday in the Park. In Just for fun. Asymp; 1 Comment. I am enjoying the flowers and the breeze. Yes, those are my dresses blowing in the wind. I guess it is really a bit more than a breeze, more like a “hold everything down before it blows away” kind of windy day. Sitting on the porch, enjoying the summer breeze, Prishtina, Kosova. Always a continuous cycle of beginnings and endings. Then we decided to walk a bit. We walked past families setting up a p...

https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/barnum-and-bailey-have-arrived
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. Barnum and Bailey Have Arrived! In Building the Place. Asymp; 8 Comments. This quiet corner of the property is soon to be turned into the new kitchen and center of our circus. Kaiwen Village, Lijiang, china. A couple of nights ago Marcus, a guest from San Francisco who has now become part of our family, commented, as he sat on the porch steps watching the animal show pass by, “You know this place is a real circus.” Yes, Marcus, at times it is. So of course ...

A Whoville Christmas and a Frozen New Year | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/a-whoville-christmas-and-a-frozen-new-year
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. A Whoville Christmas and a Frozen New Year. In Just for fun. Asymp; 4 Comments. Thawing out in Prishtina, Kosova. Things calmed down, a lot. Then I noticed that the lights that went up on Mother Teresa Blvd. last year in November, weren’t lit this year. And there were fewer decorations around town. It was just kind of bare. It seems the mayor didn’t want the New Year’s lights up until after the 25th for some reason. Yes, maybe Christmas perhaps, means a lit...

Exciting Times! | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/exciting-times
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. In Just for fun. Asymp; 1 Comment. No, this is not our front porch, but when Ted took this picture in Germia Park, I looked at it and said, “I look silly.” To which he said, “In other words the picture will never see the light of day.” So, to prove him wrong, I have included this picture. Love you Ted! Sitting on the front porch enjoying the beautiful summer day, Prishtina Kosova. In my last blog post. Then students produced some short plays, told some joke...

Boston & a Birthday | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2014/12/11/boston-a-birthday
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. Boston and a Birthday. Asymp; 6 Comments. Listening to Christmas music, and getting ready for Tuesday Night Dinner. I always love Tuesdays because of Tuesday night dinners; staff gathered around the table for nothing more than good food and warm conversation. The number one rule? No talking about school. Now that is hard sometimes, but we mostly hold to it and we have all gotten to know each other and love each other so much more over these dinners. Our int...

You know how it goes, you think you have all the pieces and then you put them together and you end up with. . . In fact you are positive that you have found it. Larr; Previous post.

On Turning 35 | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/on-turning-35
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. Asymp; 8 Comments. Here is where it all began. Celebrating a birthday in Prishtina Kosova. Well, it happens every year. I had a birthday this week and for those of you wondering, it did rain in Southern California on my birthday – it does every year, it’s a tradition – but it was actually pretty warm here. I thought it might snow to celebrate my day, but it didn’t. This is me at about 7 with my siblings. Sorry about the poodle hair, Rhonda. 8220;For women o...

Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. The Middle School Life. In Life at School. Asymp; 3 Comments. It all began with these guys. Sitting in middle school English, watching kids take a test, Prishtina Kosova. Because I was willing to sub in middle school. In fact, I let them know I preferred middle school. Yes, I know, crazy, but high-schoolers were too close to my age at the time (yes, this was long, long ago! Do you remember being in middle school? I remember well the day we were in the car, ...
