I cannot believe another year has come and gone, and I cannot believe where I am today and the perspective from which I write today. There is no way to predict the future and, if it was even possible, I am not sure I would want to. This has been, relatively speaking, an amazing year.

Well, not officially! But I am going in most of this week to work in a nice, quiet school building. I tend to get more things accomplished than if I was working at home, plus when I print these large documents I am working on, I am not using my own paper and printer from [...]

Here we are, the day after Christmas. Doesn’t it feel great? Luckily I am not surrounded by dropped tree needles and bundles of wrapping paper. This year I got a little crafty and environmental with my tree…err, should I say ‘branch.’
Instead of buying a tree that would ultimately make its way to the curb a [...]

Twas the day before Christmas and here at Gogolodyland, all the pots are a bubblin’ for dinner as LC gives me a hand.
The gnocchi and veal are ready to go, but the soup on the stove is taking too slow!
Just in from a walk around the National Christmas Tree, we need warmth from a fire [...]

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and today I will spend more time preparing for the holiday season. Yes, I know I am a tad bit late but it has been very busy in Gogolodyland and I had to wait for school work to slow down before I could focus more time on house preparation and shopping. [...]

It is going to be cold today – and windy! I am having a few workers come to the house today, one to clear the leaves out of the gutters and another to clean the house and prepare it for the holiday season. I am also having the chimney cleared for its annual cleaning so [...]

The entire concert hall was decorated with holiday cheer and the full house was a sign of the spirit that filled the air with each song performed. This year’s theme was music from the Czech Republic and the ambassador, along with the director of culture for the embassy, [...]

The noise began at our morning assembly where the Pre-Kindergarten class sang a song called “Paz y Libertad” to wrap up this month’s focus on peacemaking. They were adorable and their energy really spread throughout the auditorium!
Each class had [...]
