Juggling is good for your brain
"Hi, bom dia”, I say with a big smile because it's a glorious sunny day after a few days of rain, “How are you doing? I saw Molly go to the other side already ... I'm sorry but I forgot your name ...” “River, my name is River. River sticks.” “Ah, yes, that's...
To camp in a caravan in the fall
Every year we have to wait and see when autumn will come. Will it be early October or late? It's also happened that they forgot - we were still wearing just a T-shirt in November. This year is clearly very different. The fall fell the day before yesterday That's crazy...

Chickens don’t eat people
“Outch! Hey, take care, you! Chickens don't eat people, didn't you know that!" In response, she looks at me sharply, her head a little crooked to look up. The chickens consider me a cross between a super chicken with 3 heads and a giant worm. That insight suddenly...
