Zipping Along - Roxsane Tiernan - Bog

This is the story of my life, My first husband after we divorced was killed on the job. I travel through northern Europe to sort my life. I went back to teaching after I worked with a young fellow who had been severely injured. My friend Susan helped me get back to teaching English as a second Language. I had several homestay students. I continued to try to learn Japanese. This was encouraged by the department of education, Later I went into renovating houses in my spare time with my friend Shirley, I changed my name from Joanne Dheilly to Roxsane Tiernan. I added 250 square feet to my house gaining more kitchen space and an ensuite bathroom. We, Yvette and I won the top prize in the remodeling contest. Nancy and I holidayed over Christmas in Mexico enjoying Palenque and Oaxaca. My students and homestays often became part of our family. I met Bill, the love of my life. He looked after my homestays while I was marketing our international program in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. I learned a little about golf. Bill and I hiked, explored the forests. We had a 60th party for him. Later Yvette, her children Randi, 11; Kori, 9; Kelly, 7; and I toured Asia-Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan. We celebrated my 60th birthday. Two years later Randi then 15 and I toured Europe for 46 days.
