Sometimes my life in Virginia seems a little unreal. I go from being the person who cleans the place, to creating a FB page so that Edith’s vision for this place can be promoted, to doing the yard work, to cooking dinner, to being a grad student and working on class assignments. I kind ofContinue reading “Life Dreams”

My Life in Virginia
In a lot of ways, I think I’ve settled into a routine here in Virginia. I wake up roughly at the same time every day, eat meals and the same time, and have friends that I skype with on a weekly basis. These things help me to feel less like I’m stuck at home; however,Continue reading “My Life in Virginia”
My Life in A Variety of Places
It turns out that when I started this blog I should have named it: “My Life in Huémoz and Other Places,” instead of “.. and Other Musings.” However, since I still have some time on my hands and I still enjoy writing, I’m going to keep this blog going for a bit. I’ll probably evenContinue reading “My Life in A Variety of Places”
Ordinary Life
The ironic thing about this blog is that I had several new subscribers after my last post. A post that to be honest, could have been my last ever post about L’Abri. I’m not sure when or if I’ll get to go back. Not because I think this pandemic is going to go on forever,Continue reading “Ordinary Life”
Arts Week
Life at L’Abri has been crazy the past couple of weeks as people have had to abruptly change their plans due to the virus, and I haven’t found much time to write or honestly process anything. Sadly, I’m back in the U.S. However, I have been wanting to dedicate a post to arts week. EdithContinue reading “Arts Week”
Learning
It snowed quite a bit overnight the otherday. I decided that was a good time to walk up death hill for the first time and it was actually a lot of fun and I got some beautiful pictures. Therefore, interspersed in this post about learning new things are my snowy walk picture. Learning Dutch OneContinue reading “Learning”
Huémoz
I have intended to do a post about Huemoz for a while… what is a blog entitled Life in Huemoz and Other Musings without some words specifically about the town. This town is a tiny collection of Chalets. There are no grocery stores, not even a post office. I believe I’ve been told that theContinue reading “Huémoz”
Moments of Worship
Farel House Farel house is cold and drafty at night. The first floor is the chapel. It’s a bit of a long and narrow room. There’s a grand piano at the front, along with lots of plants, and a big old wooden podium. There’s tables with an assortment of well worn and mismatched chairs liningContinue reading “Moments of Worship”
Montreux
Last Thursday a rather large group of L’Abri people spent our day off visiting Montreux. I honestly don’t have much to say about it other than it was gorgeous… so this post will be mostly pictures. Sorry, not sorry. We had plans to walk around a castle which was about a 30 minute walk fromContinue reading “Montreux”
Mental Pictures
If you watch the Office you have probably seen Jim and Pam look at eachother during a sweet moment and make a motion symbolizing taking a picture. They do this for moments they want to savor but can’t exactly be captured on film. There’s a lot of those kinds of moments here at L’Abri forContinue reading “Mental Pictures”
