My time so far...

 I've done a million things since I've been here...and yet at times it feels like less. 

Quick recap:

July 14th-I moved out of my apartment

July 19th- I flew to Guatemala

July 28th- First day of work at the new school

August 10th- First day of school for students

August 17th- First Stitch and Bitch with a new friend every Tuesday (not a new friend every Tuesday, but a new friend that I meet with every Tuesday)


August 23rd-Virtual learning starts

September 3rd-5th- Spent the weekend in Antigua

September 15th- Guatemalan Independence day

September 17th- I meet another new friend who wants to learn knitting

And now we're all caught up!

Of course, I've done a lot in between. I found a few places to buy yarn, looked up some craft stores for other projects, invested in some beautiful textiles, and started taking a Waldorf education certification course.

Guatemala is beautiful and I've made new friends! Hopefully I won't be too exhausted when I go back in person next week and I'll be able to keep posting.

The Sweaters of Murder, She Wrote Episode: 11.20

I had the idea for this while watching season 11, episode 20 "Another killing in Cork". So we will start there. Each post will give a spoiler-free synopsis of the episode, followed by a short review, and then sweaters! In this episode, we see Jessica traveling to Cork to visit some old friends. She stays in their big castle-like Bed and Breakfast with a host of "queer" characters (I use the words that are used in the show itself). Turns out there's a land dispute the landlord is involved in. People end up dead, of course, since this is a murder show, after all. In true Jessica Fletcher ...

Orchidmania

 I had a wonderful day today, what with the cool drizzly weather (a welcome change for the hottest February I've ever experienced; admittedly I am in Guatemala...) and an orchid exhibit just next to my apartment! A couple friend's (one was a member of the orchid society in Guatemala) and I met for a little coffee and a nice visit. The exhibit was small, but it had all local to Guatemala orchids! There were micro-orchids,  The orchids are growing in the center of the leaves! grassy orchids,  and of course the Monja Blanca, the national orchid to Guatemala.                 According to my friend it's a sort of albino variant of a pink orchid.  It was really nice to discuss the different things and a little about how many were discovered because of Orchidmania in the Victorian era. It's dark, but the petals are GREEN! And wel...
