Follow Me

I have run out of room. For lack of time to make changes to this blog site I have created another blog to conclude my story. I hope you will follow me to the new site, “Europe and After 2013”.  www.shyraven32.wordpress.com

Jet Lag

I have been home for two days and am still suffering from jet lag. The nine hour flight from Zurich to Chicago was difficult, and the seven hour time change really affected me. I hope to begin posting the events of my European trip in a few days. Where I left off before was the first day of hiking in the Dolomites, so that is where I will pick it up again. Meanwhile I think I’ll take a nap.

Test: Take Two

Driving back from my hiking spot today I passed my Alma Mater, that is Washington University in St. Louis. I stopped to take some photos of the school where I spent seven years of my young adult life. Bachelor’s Degree-4 years, secretary in the On-Campus Housing Office-2 years, and Master’s Degree, one more full year. I don’t get over that way very often, and I am always startled by the vast growth that takes place on that campus. It is a very wealthy private university and has always prided itself on its nickname: the Harvard of the Midwest.
Here is the main administrative building Brookings Hall which sits atop a hill looking out over Forest Park (where I hiked today, another post).

The last photo is Blewett Hall, which houses the music department. Yep, my main hangout for five years.

This Is A Test!

Spring obligations are almost over. When my third and final studio recital is complete this Thursday, I will start checking off all of the things that must be done, items that must be acquired, bills that must be paid before I board that plane in June flying over the ocean to Zurich, Switzerland.
Today I visited the Apple Store to get some one to one assistance on my ipad. I am used to using iphoto on my MacBook Pro to import photos to my wordpress blog. There is no iphoto app on my ipad. There is a photo app but I have not yet used it to send photos to my blog. There has to be a first time. Today I took a couple of photos at the Apple Store. I am going to attempt to retrieve them and post them on “Rosemarie in Europe 2013” using my ipad. If you read this post and it includes two photos, you will know that I was successful.

New Blog Link

My new blog is Edge of the Forest. It will focus on more general topics that I like. Right now I’ve been collecting old songs from the 50’s in video.  Check it out.

Edge of the Forest

I just started a new blog because I wanted to write about life in more general terms than a return trip to Europe.  You can find me at Edge of the Forest.
