World Tour, Day 13: River and Toy Photography

Teddi took me to Bear River today for photography and general enjoyment purposes. She does toy photography on Instagram, so we staged a fun photoshoot with her action figures and my Vegemite: Turns out, my Vegemite is secretly a Sith lord. This is what Teddi looks like while taking her photos: I took a number of meh photos of the river. This one has promise: Out of all the meh photos, though, I did take one that I think is

World Tour, Day 12: A Prayer for a Mother Who Has Lost Her Son

I’m interrupting the regular flow of this blog today, because I found out last night that a guy I went to youth group with when I was 13-14 died this past week.

He had so much to offer – he was smart, passionate, and

World Tour, Day 11: Brunch and the Hill of Apples

World Tour, Day 10: I Got to Hold a Praying Mantis for the First Time Ever!

Praying mantises are my favourite insect but, before today, I’d never held one before. Before coming to California, I’d never even seen one outside of books and the internet. A day or so ago, I’d seen one on a tree, but it ran off when Teddi tried to herd it down so I could see it closer. Today, though, there was one on the screen door by the kitchen and it was the most chill insect I’ve ever seen. Teddi

World Tour, Day 9: Giving the Gift of Netflix

Let it be known by everyone who will be hosting me in future legs of this trip: I have Netflix access and am willing to share it with you. Teddi doesn’t have Netflix, so I used my Netflix powers to introduce her and her kids to the fantastic show that is Supergirl (you guys, Kara is so freaking adorkable. I want to get Supergirl on DVD and rewatch it over and over). After the kids went to bed, we watched
