CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world with the family

ABOUT ME

We are a family of 4 that likes to explore. I speak Spanish and studied Portuguese and French years ago. Joe knows French and bits and pieces of a variety of languages.

Our daughter is 5 and son is 3 years old. We're late bloomers to having kids. I want the kids to grow up learning other languages and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not much for movies/TV but Joe watches some. I should probably listen/watch more for language immersion.

Joe is a an ex-DJ for the local college station. Favs are bluegrass, local, real country, etc. Indigenous from wherever it is indigenous.

We are both book junkies...especially since we started selling books. But we did a major downsizing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently trying to learn: herbal medicines and plants, how to take great photos on the "nice" camera, languages, and always interested in exploring a new recipe.

Joe likes to putter about--but only on stuff that he doesn't have to putter on.

All 4 of us are trying to learn French now.
