2016 was a year of uos and downs. Change in the situations ofour kids. My DD moved to Arizona to teach High School (Government and Economics and American History) in Pinon which is on the Navajo reservation. She is one of three white teachers inthe school and it is an adventure and learning experience. My DS moved to Bozeman MT to attend graduate school in Native American Studies! So suddenly, with the two moves and the Dakota Access Pipeline dispute, we have been thrust into Native Culture and issues. Much fun, much learning - but a lot of change!

I got engaged one Christmas. So that has to trump everything else. My funniest Christmas present was when my MIL got me a size 3X sweater and pants set. I was, at the time, a size 10. She wasn't very subtle in her opinions.

Orkney: Getting to and from North Ronaldsay
North Ronaldsay is the farthest north island Orkney, a group of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland. It's where "those seaweed-eating sheep" live. A few other types of sheep eat seaweed, but this is the breed that's best known for it. In a later post I'll include lots of photos of s...
