Day to day life as a retiree, dedicated runner, avid gardener, reader, and a fearless cook.

Here she is in her dorm room. It was all cleaned up neat as a pin for our visit. Among the many things we brought to Chicago for her was 6 covers of the Seattle newspaper, The Stranger. It's all about decorating on a shoestring when you are in college.
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.
