Sunday

View from the Vancouver Community of Christ church. Our friends will be happy to know that we finally made it to church. Not only did we drive straight to it without any mishaps, but we were an hour early.


After two weeks of mostly warm weather, the past few days have been chilly enough to warrant sweaters and long sleeves. Alexis is just not willing to give up on summer quite yet.



We have enjoyed getting to talk with more and more of our loved ones on Skype. Currently Candy, Tony, Pam, and the Heides have it downloaded to their computers. (No, I'm not a paid spokesperson for Skype nor do I have stock in it,I'm just all about free goodies) If you happen to get on Skype you can find us under apianist61

About Me

My photo
Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
In politically correct language I am called a non-traditional student or,as my mother would say, a late-bloomer. For twenty years I was a stay-at-home/home-schooling mom but surprise.. kids grow up. When my son asked me what I was going to do after he left home I told him I was sure it would involve crates of Kleenex, junk food, and a lot of self pity. He suggested college instead and I took him up on it. I graduated in Dec. 09 with a BA in Criminal Justice/Corrections from Park University in Parkville, Mo. Through internships that brought me into contact with both the victims and offenders of violent crime, I have acquired a passion to assist each in addressing issues of accountability and healing through the restorative process of victim-offender mediation. As a 2010-2011 Canada-U.S. Student Fulbright recipient I will travel this fall with my husband and granddaughter, to British Columbia where I will be attending Simon Fraser University's Graduate School of Criminology. With a superb symmetry, Mother, arbitrator of children’s squabbles has progressed to victim-offender mediator.
