Turkey is Againable: A Motley Crew
http://marissainturkey.blogspot.com/2008/08/motley-crew.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. No, not the 80s hair band- they require gratuitous heavy metal ümlüats (which, coincidentally, are alsö üsed müchly in the Türkish langüage). I'm speaking of our lovely group of teacher travelers:. Apart from being accomplished, freakishly well traveled, and helpful beyond all comprehension, our group has quite the range of hidden talents.

Boettcher Daze: December 2007
http://boettcherdaze.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Mike Jackie Miranda James. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. One month and 23 days later. Yep, I counted. I would like to say we've been busy, but really when aren't we? To be honest, I just haven't posted. So there. Things have been busy, the kids finished up their 1st quarter at school and both did very well. Miranda was on the B honor roll and James was thrilled with the letter grades on his report card for the first time. He ended up with 4 B's and a C . Yea James! Miranda: 7:00am bus time in Eyota.

Turkey is Againable: Dancing with the Turks
http://marissainturkey.blogspot.com/2008/08/dancing-with-turks.html
Sunday, August 10, 2008. Dancing with the Turks. Above health care, the economy, and the war, one issue ranks highest on the national scale of importance: America's need for more spontaneous song and dance. (In case you were wondering, I am both Pro-Song. Pro-Dance.) For this, we must Look to the Turks:. The band was a planned part of our supper experience, but the move-busting, which was accompanied by much singing from the restaurant patrons, was utterly impromptu. Brilliant! Other Blogs I Read.

Turkey is Againable: The Comedy/Tragedy Seagulls of Istanbul That Will Eat You
http://marissainturkey.blogspot.com/2008/08/comedytragedy-seagulls-of-istanbul-that.html
Sunday, August 10, 2008. The Comedy/Tragedy Seagulls of Istanbul That Will Eat You. And suffer loss of habitat/food from human encroachment. So they cannibalize each other, attack other waterfowl (like ducks), and sometimes the sweet, fleshy eyes of tourists. Yum! No one on our tour was accosted; this is where the characteristic American loudness that got us thrown out of the rooftop restaurant one night probably worked in our favor.

Turkey is Againable: August 2008
http://marissainturkey.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 14, 2008. Goat Cheese: A Love Affair. Chris Briddick, one of our SD Turkey consultants, once wrote: “The goat cheese in Turkey will make you want to hug the next goat you see out of gratitude, your vision blurred by tears of joy.” After my first breakfast in Turkey, I wasn't looking for a hug- I was planning a whole-scale kid-napping (ha! Complete with duct tape and a clever disguise to get us through customs. It didn't entirely work out, but oh, the memories:. The Bastard of Istanbul,.

Turkey is Againable: To Squat or not to Squat
http://marissainturkey.blogspot.com/2008/08/to-squat-or-not-to-squat.html
Thursday, August 14, 2008. To Squat or not to Squat. That is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the line to bear the tedium and odor of awaiting a standard toilet, or, against the sea of a bus-worn bladder, to just suck it up and squat. That's what I did, once upon a time in Turkey- and paid 50 cents for the privilege! As evidenced by our lunch stop in Karacasu. Behold, the most glorious public bathroom known to humankind:.

Boettcher Daze: Presents From God
http://boettcherdaze.blogspot.com/2008/05/presents-from-god.html
Mike Jackie Miranda James. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Have a gift" when he tells me how far he got in a video game or when he's playing soccer. (Seriously, I don't know how many games he has finished, when I can't even get my guy to throw the damn ball - I hate video games). We told him that he has many gifts and will receive many, many more in his lifetime. Last night, we were in the car (as we always are) and James brought it up again, "Soccer is one of my presents.". Gift, buddy.". Sam's mom, Emilie.

Boettcher Daze: Morning Chaos
http://boettcherdaze.blogspot.com/2008/03/morning-chaos.html
Mike Jackie Miranda James. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. I watch commercials on TV with families eating breakfast, smiling at each other, grabbing backpacks yelling "Love you Mom! As they run out the door. The Mom stands at the table with a smile on her face that tells us all is well. This portrait of morning routines has never happened at my house. This morning was one of the worst. James actually got up early. (A good start! STOP TELLING ME THAT! Meanwhile, Miranda has changed 5 times, getting all pouty.
