Welcome from Mike Lohre

Hello students, and welcome to our blog! Today in class we'll work to join the blog and become familiar with its basic features.  See my handout for more, but our main goals for your first post here are to get to know each other, respond to our texts so far, and to start a conversation.


My fun fact on the first day was about taking a trip to Norway and the idea that we may have to go back sometimes to go forward.  As part of my continuing introduction, I'll share a bit about my wife.  Irene is my best friend and we are coworkers on our three small regenerative farming locations.  She loves gardening and really has a heart for elderly people.  She works at Willow Brook Assisted Living which is south of Delaware.  I'm proud of Irene for her heart and service to others!  We do our small farming together, and she is a huge blessing in my life.

Look forward to reading all of your work on our blog, and remember that every chance to write is a chance to write well.

Mike

p.s. See the handout for your prompt for Journal Two.  The first paragraph will be a self-introduction, and the rest will be a reading response for one poem in the texbook.
