I celebrate faith and family! Married now for 45 years, my husband and I have made homes in Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, California, and Indonesia. We have 3 sons, married to women who have become our daughters, plus 4 granddaughters. As a registered nurse, I worked as a pediatric nurse and taught childbirth education and mother/baby care classes. After our move back to the U.S. from Jakarta, Indonesia in 1992, I managed a geophysical consulting business with my husband. I have written poetry, short pieces, family story, and faith ponders for many years. I enjoy old rose and herb gardening, cooking with herbs, music, knitting and beading.! In 2006 due to rapidly deteriorating vision, I received 2 cornea transplants for which I am endlessly grateful.

Thank you!
Hi Mary Ann,
I’m from Indonesia (although not from Jakarta). I know you went there a long time ago, but I hope you had pleasant memories about it!
Also, I enjoy reading your blog!
Chrysant, what a lovely name! I am glad you like my blog. I have many good memories about our life in Indonesia. Two of my sons graduated from Jakarta International School. We still enjoy cooking Indonesian foods for family celebrations and to introduce our friends to dishes like sate, acar, nasi goreng and krupuk. In fact, just recently I spoke to children at our granddaughter’s school about Indonesia. I took some wayang golek and batik to show them and played some gamelan music. They loved it.
