Don Quixote de la Mancha
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
(1547 – 1616)
The Heart of My Soul is a collection of family vignettes, snippets from cabin journals and guest books, individual reflections on changing times and aging, photo collages, published articles, short poems, and a Haiku covering outhouse etiquette! Each generation added wit, hard-work, and continues to carry on stewardship of “our little piece of heaven.” Each time the screen door screaks, a new adventure is about to begin or a memory has just been made.

¡Hola! Me llamo Jan.
My parents named me Janet. I call myself Jan. My Spanish-speaking friends call me Juanita. These stories and photos represent my duo-life, a bilingual journey, a multi-dimensional world view.
Monarchs. Those butterflies with royal orange and black patterned wings that flit into northern life every spring and hasten to return south before the freeze. Monarchs. A story of metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar to a being that takes flight – a metaphor of life, death and resurrection. Monarchs. Their rare migration requiring four generations to complete the life cycle that perpetuates their survival, unique among planetary creatures.
