Connections to my seemingly isolated life in the past few days...people thought of me. How nice of them!

1) Yanceyville, NC (a VIF teacher from the Philippines)
2) Greenwood, SC (a former teaching colleague who moved back home to start a new job)
3) Edmonton, AB (family, o' course)

Text messages and emails from
1) San Bernardino, CA (a great friend)
2) Fayetteville, NC (a fellow VIF teacher who teaches in Hoke County)
3) Edmonton, AB (a great friend)
4) Coquitlam, BC (my sister's friend, with whom we lived for a month in Montreal this summer)
