| 28th April 2009 sfriday in New Zealand | Letter and Postcard - From: wiiiiife fotos de meheeco! Wow! I'm so glad they found you, but I think that makes like 3 months for that letter to get there. I'm blaming it pretty squarely on NZ Post. Also, the Aztec with an iPod rocks my world. That's awesome. |
| 27th April 2009 vicki | politics - From: breakfast politics You go girl!! |
| 27th April 2009 mom | hear hear! - From: breakfast politics Yep, Ms. Baade, If you run, you've got MY vote! |
| 25th April 2009 mom | well,........ - From: goats and rabbits and worms oh my! while all of the above 'goats and rabbits and worms' sounds like a very, very "interesting" week,...um....makes teaching English sound p.r.e.t.t.y darned good, huh? Ha! Your Dad loved it! Said that it sounds like they're teaching you everything you need to know to come back and live in our Ozark Hills back home!! Ha! You've certainly had a "varied" life so far, haven't you?!! Any of this helped you with decisions on what to do for Nica back at your site? (or what NOT to get into??). XOXOXO Chree's kittens are SO darned CUTE; still have their eyes closed, but held them today for just a second! |
| 25th April 2009 mom | HI, ARIELLE & MOLLY!!!! - From: wiiiiife fotos de meheeco! Wow! What a colorful and fun full week!! I am SO glad that you got to share all of this with Molly, Arielle! She SO needed a break (and coffees & a really great 'night out on the town'!). And, I am SO glad that you got to get away with your best friend and the PERFECT guide to all that's 'happening' in the heart of Mexico City! Your families are all so proud of you both! |
| 25th April 2009 mom | GREAT pics...as is your usual perfection! - From: wiiiiife fotos de meheeco! Molly,...yes, I will send you a list of some of your clothing in the trlr. & will await your request list, OK? I bought you some granola bars today,but afraid they won't get mailed til next week. Ben's on a serious mission to lose more weight, too (and Mark! OMG!)...you skinny Baades! Now, Dad & I really need to get with it, too! PLEASE use the ear mite stuff and drops on Frontline on that poor, dirty, skinny, infested little cat! HeShe looks miserable. Ever bathed a cat? I'll send you a hilarious email (BUT! won't do you any good, I guess, as it involves a FLUSHING toilet! Ha!). Thanks for sharing, Honey!! xo xo xo |
| 23rd April 2009 mom | con't - From: and iīm back... kind of ... contīd And MORE great pictures! Your Dad can hardly believe how very BLUE your eyes are. You're looking so good, Molly. Guess the only thing better than your blogs & pictures is hearing your voice. You sound good; and you 'sound' happy right now. We've been busy planting strawberries, asparagus, a Bleeding Heart flower, trees out of the garden beds, etc. I worked up in the garage most of the day, then headed for the garden. It was HOT out today w/no shade yet, so am whipped. Hope your week's going well. And your cold is GONE! XO |
| 20th April 2009 lori | country girl at heart?? - From: and iīm back... kind of ... contīd The country is nice after the big city? Beautiful people--all of you! |
| 20th April 2009 mom | So GOOD to hear from you!!!!!! - From: and iīm back... kind of ... contīd I'm typing on Ben's laptop since he has it plugged in and up. Molly, thank you for the update and for the TERRIFIC pictures!!! Great pics. Can hardly wait to talk to you and find out more about your recent travels!!! Another week away. We've been having storms, so not much computer time (umm....til late last night, you know). So, couldn't look up your latest plans. Hope you have a good week! WE LOVE YOU!! xo Oh! I am getting SO 'with it'. Ha! Ben won't check his cell for messages, so have (a teeny bit) learned to text so I can get him to answer me. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr More later! |
| 18th April 2009 mom | Hi, My Molly! - From: it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there.... or how we are angsty before i leave .. CONTīD Hey,...everything OK down there? No bloginess from you for over a week now. You ok? Computer ok? Nica ok? Tried to phone you a few minutes ago, but think that, "probably" the message said that you weren't there???? Don't speak de Espanol, so just talked to you in case it said to leave a message. No ending beep, tho. Then phoned Arielle and left a real short message. Hope that was ok. Chree had 3 gray kittens today! Tomorrow's Daisy's 13th BD. Love you! Dogwood Festival all weekend (fun mail delivery! ha!). XOXOXO Sent you a letter a coupla days ago. XOXOXO |
| 13th April 2009 Cassi | - From: it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there.... or how we are angsty before i leave .. CONTīD Whatever, you know you love it. |
| 11th April 2009 mom | well, was a great week, huh? - From: it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there.... or how we are angsty before i leave .. CONTīD So sorry, Molly. Ummmm...if you REALLY still feel this way after you're back at your site,....what would the odds of being transferred into a city somewhere else be. You have the language 'down' now. You're teaching English anyway. Would you be happier back in/closer to a city? MexCity,LA,NO,Beiging,NYC,Philly,Chicago,DC,...? Lenin in the equation? Toooooo many things to consider AT THIS MOMENT! Right? Between you & me, I would NEVER picture you staying in Nica longer than your 2-1/2 yr contract. What a waste of you THAT would be! So, guess the next 1-1/2 yrs is the question to ask yourself right now. Love you & will phone. xo |
| 11th April 2009 Cassi | Good Point - From: it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there.... or how we are angsty before i leave .. CONTīD I need to reach something on the top shelf. Can I borrow your soapbox? Just kidding! I love you. |
| 9th April 2009 mom | Hi, Honey! - From: nicaraguan pcv's adventures in mexico city, part 2 Yeah, 'scuze the weird mood the last few days, OK? I am SO thrilled for you! You are all and any of ALL of it, Molly....such a down-to-earth 'country girl', in love with the land & all animals & reptiles & all that lives and able to live on pennies a day; yet, you have become one with the biggest of big cities around the world and their cultures & people & mass transit systems and foods. I look forward to each & every entry! XOXOXO |
| 8th April 2009 mbaade | - From: food adventures continue in mexico city... cont'd DF federal district. like our washington DC |
| 8th April 2009 mom | DF? - From: food adventures continue in mexico city... cont'd Um...what's DF? (caution:" SLOW Mom" Crossing, I guess. Sorry.) Glad you're enjoying Street Food w/Arielle. I always thought that it was your favorite food in China, too. Not sure about the 10 lb. thang though,..."I" would give almost ANYTHING to lose just that 10!....let alone 65!! Good job, Dear! :) OK, continue enjoying and thanks for the updates! psst: HI, Arielle! |
| 7th April 2009 Cassi | Red Dress Pics Stat! - From: nicaraguan pcv's adventures in mexico city, part 2 OMG, you're killing me. This is so funny. It's like reading a children's adventure story...and quick...want to see red dress..... |

| 5th April 2009 mom | Am busy enjoying your photos...... - From: fotos and reasons i am super excited to go to mexico tomorrow over and over again and again. THANKS! 'Eyebrows' graduation attire is for high school ceremonies, right? And,...Lenin's??? Molly, we do SO hope that you're healthy and past your infections and allergies right now. You LOOK SOOOO good! Am so proud of you (with, perhaps, a teeny weeny tad of envy included!). Enjoy your week up "North"!! ps HI, Arielle!!! |
| 5th April 2009 mom | HI to you in Mexico City!!! - From: fotos and reasons i am super excited to go to mexico tomorrow Wanted to call you last night to wish you a good flight and trip and send hugs along with you for Arielle; but, your Dad thought you'd be way too busy to talk. Tried this AM but, um, didn't suppose your phone would be any good in the sky or in Mexico; I was right. So, am just going to KNOW that your flights & your connection with Arielle were all smooth! Texas?? Whatever! ha |
| 31st March 2009 mom | Through .... - From: of allergies, returning home for 2 days, and taking off again! TEXAS to get from Managua, Nicaragua, to Mexico City, Mexico??? WOW! No wonder the airlines are going broke! No efficiency whatsoever! All flights are for THEIR convenience......as opposed to YOURS! And so the world goes........ Panama will be one more to add to your list of "Been There's", though! :) |
| 31st March 2009 mom | Oh, Geez! - From: of allergies, returning home for 2 days, and taking off again! Another allergy. I am SO sorry, Molly. Sounds like you have even more of them than I'VE had! At least you've gotten right on it and gotten it cleared up before Mexico City (AND while you were in Managua with doctors!), huh? I hope that you have the time of your life on your trip!! You're schedule's so packed full,....just remember to take the time you need to just enjoy and BREATHE! Love you! |
| 28th March 2009 mom | speaking of old....... - From: the best pizza in all of nicaragua is in jinotepe Your sweet Dad went and found and bought me a beautiful Forsythia bush!! Haven't planted it yet as we're forcast to get 3-4" of snow tomorrow (yeah yeah.....). BEN went to the store himself and surprised us with a new armed, highback office chair for the computer desk! Guess getting older has some nice things included in it after all. Ha! :) |
| 28th March 2009 mom | busybusybusy - From: the best pizza in all of nicaragua is in jinotepe OK. I'm old. Just picturing the miles you put on just flat tires me out!!! Ha! Seriously,....happy trekking, Molly! |
| 27th March 2009 Kristin | Thanks! - From: of things i love and things i donīt love what?! I love you! I was just googling my buisness name..see what comes up and I saw this link for things I love and I was like what? then realized it was yours! Thanks!! Yah I am slacking and need to catch up on here!! I miss you!! |
| 26th March 2009 mom | NICE phone conversation - From: of sicknesses 3-26-09 Thank you, Molly, for such a wonderful phone conversation. Printed out your flight info & your BUSY itinerary for thru April....just in case the puter gets ill again! Mailed your 2 card$ in the mail yesterday. Had my 'procedure'. Kicked my ass & I slept 11am after hospital release til 7am today, then 7am til 1:30 (now). Will be ready to take on the whole world by tomorrow, though! Ha! Love you. Glad you're enjoying! xo |
| 25th March 2009 mom | Wonderful - From: of sicknesses It was just wonderful talking with you this (late) evening, Molly. I sometimes forget that you ARE reachable by phone. Hearing your voice is so "healing" for me! My worries and fears just sort of evaporate when I hear you. THEN I know that you're OK and doing well. Love you. Night Night! |
| 25th March 2009 mom | Whew! - From: of things i love and things i donīt love What a grand relief to you that your camera is all dried out and WORKING again!!! You take such FINE photos that I, too, was in a panic! Baggies. Baggies are simply miracle workers and a total necessity to save EVERYTHING precious. Hey, when DOES your rainy season begin? |
| 25th March 2009 mom | well,........ - From: of canyons and granada and a long three days Yes, I read Cassi's comments. I have no comments to make at this time. ;) |
| 25th March 2009 mom | Will?! - From: spazz and a half Oh, that would be SO good if you and Will could get together while he's down there!! Any word yet on this???? |
| 24th March 2009 mom | Huh?? - From: nicaraguan hygiene Iron? Like, clothing? Molly, remember that time when Ben was like 3 years old or thereabouts, and he spied our ironing board deep into the pantry and asked if it was a surfboard?? Guess he'd never seen me use OURS either! Ha! Wonder where you get your attitude sometimes, Honey.....really, I do! ;) xo |
| 14th March 2009 Shannon | - From: of things i love and things i donīt love They don't ship to NZ either. |
| 13th March 2009 Elissa | - From: nicaraguan hygiene Oh my god, I would look so slovenly in that country because I am so bad at ironing. |
| 13th March 2009 cassi | hygiene - From: nicaraguan hygiene damn foreigners, always stereotyping us gringos. |
| 13th March 2009 cassi | swimming - From: of canyons and granada and a long three days i totally judge people who can't swim too. in fact, it tends to make me really angry when people can't swim. seriously, we float naturally. i especially get mad when they won't put their faces in the water or lean their head back to learn to float. i have to stop i'm getting angry just writing this. |
| 13th March 2009 Ben | comment - From: nicaraguan hygiene Your entries are muy divertidos. They make me smile everytime I read your blogs. Muy buena suerte to you and have a nice weekend. |
| 11th March 2009 Mom | Yes, have been MISSING your posts! - From: plan nicaragua Your life sounds so darned entertaining & rewarding, Molly! I'm so happy for you. Best part of your post....your realizing your abilities with the language & translation! Just KNEW you know more than you thought! GOOD REALIZATION! Did you receive the gifts for Estrella yet? Great 1st-hand view of Plan in action and in success. Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us. Yes, it always comes down to the smallest of small stuff!! :) |
| 11th March 2009 Mom | Ola!!!!!!!!!!! - From: of puppies and crazy busy schedules Hi! Our computer's been DOWN for....huh!....for what-seems-like-FOREVER!! Gosh! I've nearly forgotten how to TYPE, even! Ha! So, sorry for the very late reply! Yes,...sounds like you're going to be gone as much as you're THERE for aWHILE! Oh,...PUPPIES! Molly, guess you'll have to do some of your Philly vet work! Be sure & send pics of the puppies & Estrella. Did you get the "Victory Stickers" yet? Still have plenty here! xo |
| 3rd March 2009 Cassi | cookies - From: of mail shoutouts and attempts at cooking... and how in the world is february done! by the way, you might just need to boil the chocolate mixture a little longer. like maybe a minute or two. are you at high altitude? because that could also affect how long you have to boil it. i think. |
| 2nd March 2009 Cassi | French Toast - From: of mail shoutouts and attempts at cooking... and how in the world is february done! ...dude, i'm totally craving french toast now! |
| 1st March 2009 Cassi | Good to the last drop... - From: of mail shoutouts and attempts at cooking... and how in the world is february done! Ha ha, I'm glad the massive amounts of hot chocolate are still serving their purpose. You should just show them how to make the French toast and tell them it tradition to make your own. So you make a few pieces, and let them at the rest! |
| 28th February 2009 Mom | what terrific pictures! - From: of mail shoutouts and attempts at cooking... and how in the world is february done! And here's Molly with her Nicaraguan children's English class (as opposed to the past years' Chinese children's English classes!). You always manage to capture such happy and colorful people on 'film'!! MUCHO bedroom improvements! Glad you're enjoying the spices, Honey. Guess I'll have to find some "instant peanut butter" (you know, add water & mix! haha). No bread? Hmmm...guess a care pkg. is due! Love you! |
| 25th February 2009 Mom | sigh.............. - From: of packages, pantasma, and cool kids Good! Glad that the 4 envelopes arrived "in tact" (I hope). Please thank Silvia from Sylvia! (fun, isn't it?!). She makes me proud to be a fellow Postal Person! Speaking of witches,...mail count for the Rural Routes, so light light mail for 4 weeks. Then,...LOOK OUT! Ha! Hey, young lady, you sure do get around 'your' country! I try to trace your paths on my map as you travel. Glad classes have gone well so far! XO |
| 20th February 2009 Mom | nice! - From: of articles, english classes, and coffee Pretty new bracelet, too?! Pretty. |
| 20th February 2009 Mom | not just..... - From: of articles, english classes, and coffee And, not JUST a shelf,.........but a really NICE shelf! We're impressed. |
| 19th February 2009 Mom | extraordinary!!! - From: of articles, english classes, and coffee Simply extraordinary!! You! Your blog! Your Lake Sun articles! Your writing! Your English classes! Your uncle & shelf!!! And Lenin! And your smile! & Nicaraguan coffee! We are ALL so proud of you and so happy FOR you! The happier & more fulfilled you are,....the better off we are. Thank you, Molly. We love you. Mom, Dad, Ben, Camden County, Missouri, and The World! |

| 8th February 2009 Mom | Nice earrings! - From: of laptops, o magazine, and trips to the pila Thanks for the great pics, Molly! It's still so hard for me to see you in these shots and picture all of you communicating in Espanol! (sorry! no ENYAY on my keyboard! ha!). Yes, it seems to be much drier and more open in the background than I'd pictured. You're looking SO good, Molly! Hope all goes well with the laptop outa the closet!! |
| 5th February 2009 Mom | C'mon! Let me help! - From: of red bean recipes, flights to beijing, and dreaming of the future WHAT may I send to you? I KNOW that you want "long-term" solutions to Nican needs; BUT, I could send you, like, onion & garlic & parsley flakes. And Cayenne pepper. And Bay Leaves. Pepper. SUGAR. OK??????? XO |
