Nicaragua: We came, we shared, we opened eyes

I visited Nicaragua in 2011 to serve in an eyeglass clinic. Twelve members of our church, St. Mark Lutheran, handed out 500 Bibles, nearly 2000 pair of glasses, and saw 1079 folks. A total blessing and a terrific trip for all of us. We flew to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, on TACA airlines and thence to San Carlos at…

Mosquitoes and Monkeys and Eye Glasses, Oh My!

When I signed up for our church’s glasses ministry, I suddenly realized I’d never been on a missions trip before. Then my husband reminded me we painted an orphanage in Juarez, Mexico once. I’m not sure that counted since we stayed at an American friend’s house with a shower, and just had to cross the border every day. This time…

Life with a Blind Dog: Watch out!

I didn’t realize for a long time that we had a blind dog, nor that I had become a seeing-eye human. Sure, she fell off the walkway a couple times and stumbled over the curb, but for the most part Suzie trotted beside me as easily as she always had. The fact we walked a broad path around Spring Lake,…

Life with a Blind Dog–How Come She’s Hungry?

My dog Suzie is blind. It seemed to come on quickly. From the time I first questioned whether she might be having a seeing problem to her diagnosis–two days. But in hindsight, it crept up and fooled us for a good three months before the dog ophthalmologist pronounced her stone-cold blind. How could I not have suspected? Why didn’t I…

Traveler’s Tales: The Thrill of Polyglots

I grew up in a community of multi-lingual people, or polyglots. My own mother, born in Sicily, spoke Italian as her first language and occasionally explained things to her mother in her native tongue. Our family babysitter was from Yugoslavia and routinely argued with her husband in various Slavic languages. I went to school with children who spoke Spanish and…
