It’s my grandma’s birthday today! She is a wonderful artist and I wanted to thank her for encouraging all my pursuits by posting a few of the more interesting photos from the past semester. 


Hi! my name is Thea. i make a mean pancake, i can't do accents but i will unwittingly start to mirror speech patterns back to you, i love wordplay, i collect postcards and fortunes from fortune cookies, and i am awake to experiences, just hoping to sponge up as much as i can.














Dearest Thee-E and I came up to see your last two blogs which she thot were from Norway. (Where are you anyway?) Your collection of best pictures is impressive for both content and aesthetics.I loved seeing more of Egypt. Thanks much. Im here in Conn.. Besides birthday and Christmas w family I”ve been invited to church and lunch w our 100+ yr old former librarian.Edith..Love to you and more great surprises for 2012 wherever you are. Oma Anne
Thea,
My family and I were fortunate to be able to help Anne celebrate her birthday tonight. We took a couple of pictures of her with a birthday pie. If you send me your e-mail, I’d love to send them to you.
I’m really enjoying the blog–especially the Christmas eve entry–and I’m looking forward to reading about your adventures en France.
