Our Final Weeks in Alaska
Hello Blogging Friends! Yes, we know it’s been FAR TOO LONG in between posts! But, with a couple hours to spare I’ve sat down to try and recap the most recent move from Alaska to Michigan. We sold our house to a lovely couple who had wanted the house since August but needed to 1) […]
Schemanski, What’s In A Name?
Shemanski? Szymanski? Schemanski? So this summer I was talking with JaJa (polish for grandpa) and I asked him the story behind the spelling of our last name. His demeanor suddenly changed and I started to wonder if it had been a good idea to even ask that question. It didn’t take long for me to […]
