A Jayhawk in Taiwan. My adventures of Rock Chalking in Asia. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Linkou, Taipei and Danshui. Last weekend Angela and I traveled by bus to Linkou to visit a former student, Anna, of a family friend. This family friend put me in touch with Anna back in April. She was one of his students at UMKC. Anna and I had been emailing back and forth over the last few months and she invited me to come stay with her family in Linkou for the weekend. The best mango shaved ice I've ever had. After ...

A Jayhawk in Taiwan. My adventures of Rock Chalking in Asia. Saturday, June 14, 2014. Teaching Pictures as of Late. As the school year winds down I thought I'd share some teaching pictures from the last few months. It has been an amazing experience to watch these little ones learn and grow up this past year. Friday, June 13, 2014. Road trip to Fairyland. The view from the top of Alishan at sunrise. Karlis admiring the view. The road trip crew. A 3,000 year old tree. Wandering through the forests. Shortly...

Gilburtshire: January 2015
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2015. I'll admit that buying that much food in bulk made for a long shopping trip and a big bill, but when I realized that it was for ten gourmet meals, it was worth it and not that much more money than I would usually spend. Our meal prep station set up for us. We left our food bags in another room and only brought the current meal ingredients to the meal prep station. Artichoke chicken ready to be sealed and put in the freezer. Our Pampered Chef spices ready for us. As you can see,...

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Canning Pickles with Grandma. We had so much fun learning from her, but it was very soon figured out that she is in control of her kitchen. If you did not do things the way she told you, WATCH OUT! July 3, 2012 at 8:04 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm just a Texan girl who met a British boy and fell in love. We are happily married with our "dogger", Doris, and our son, Mr. Bates, and we have two biological Gilburts, Eli, whom we welcomed in October 2013 and our ...The C...

Gilburtshire: Sweet Summer Time
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2015/07/sweet-summer-time.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Summer is here and we are enjoying the fun things that summer provides for us. Here are some random pictures from summer so far. Every day is a new adventure with Eli. I love seeing all of the colorful fruits and veggies packed for eating in summer time. Eli and I attended Mommy and Me swim lessons this year again. This little guy was ready to go for a swim. Now, once we got in the pool it was a different story. We had a great time swimming together when Eli wasn't screaming. We ar...

Gilburtshire: Canning Pickles With Grandma 2013
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2013/07/canning-pickles-with-grandma-2013.html
Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Canning Pickles With Grandma 2013. Last year was my first year canning pickles with my grandma. I had such a good time learning about canning and more about my grandma. My sister was a little upset because she couldn't be there so I promised her that we would make them again next year so she could learn, too. I said in my previous post. When we got to my grandma's house we started to scrub the cucumbers and cut them. Our first jars that will be ready in about 3 weeks. We made a...

Gilburtshire: February 2015
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. I went to school after Mass and was bombarded by so many curious students. I think I explained what Ash Wednesday was about a hundred times by the end of the day. Explaining the meaning of Lent helped me remember why we, Catholics, do what we do. I found this quote on Instagram and thought it was the perfect way to describe why we mark ourselves with ashes. This Lenten season I am working on reading a new devotional called The Gargoyle Code. Read last year's post here. When ...

Gilburtshire: April 2015
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. Easter Saturday at Grandad's was so much fun. There was so much talking, eating, and laughing. I love being with my big and loud family. You can see last year's post here. Grandad got the 4 wheeler and trains ready for the kids to ride in. This is the highlight of the day as the parents laugh and wave when the kids pass by. Eli got to ride with his cousins. Then came the egg hunt. Eli loved it! He was quick to catch onto the concept and went for it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gilburtshire: May 2015
http://gilburtshire.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. On Good Friday, my sister took Eli to the local bank to have his picture taken with the Easter Bunny. Last year he loved it. This year.not so much. That night, we got together for our annual egg dyeing party at my sister's house. My sis had the two kiddos decorate cupcakes before the eggs. They had a great time making a mess and doing very little decorating on the cupcakes. They loved getting to help in the kitchen. And they loved eating everything. Eli's Easter Pictures 2015. I'm ju...
