Welcome to TESSEROLOGY, where I share posts about my travels throughout the world and through life! The name comes from “tesserae” – those little bits of tile used to make mosaics. “Tesserology” is a made-up word for my take on the “bits” of experience that make up my life. Got about seven minutes? (That’s what the algorithm says.) Come share a story! Cheers and hope you enjoy!

TESSEROLOGY 
Hi Amy, thanks for dropping by my blog – I’m an avid collector of words, so ‘tesserology’ certainly grabs my attention! And as you say, it suits a mosaic of life experiences.
I appreciate the “Like.” It was easy to return the favor. 🙂
Looking forward to your travelogues.
Nice to meet you, and thank you for visiting my site. Now that I’ve found my way down here, and even better, located the follow button, I guess I’ll be popping back in to see what other wonderful things you find yourself getting up to. Until then, stay healthy, stay safe, keep up the great writing, and will read you later.
Thanks for stopping by Travel Bugg!
Enjoying your mosaic of cultural experiences. 🙂
Hi Amy. Thanks for your encouragement on my blog, especially since you’re a relative veteran at this. I look forward to reading more of your adventures and musings.
Thanks, Kathleen – and go get ’em!
Thanks Amy for “like” – I am new to blogging so encouragement is good
Good for you – and welcome to the blogging world! 🙂
Tesserology – that’s a new one on me! Thanks for finding mine at siximages.me
Your blog name is what attracted me, Amy – ESPECIALLY as I’d used the word ‘tesserae’ in a comment about an hour ago ! 🙂
A really nice concept !
Thank you! (Clearly, brilliant minds!)
CLEARLY ! [grin]
Thanks for dropping by. Next time I’m on Kos I’ll take some photos of the Roman mosaics.
Ha – sounds good! 🙂
Amy, thank you for liking the Blasket post and stopping by Red Mountain Refuge! I love how your blog name and content fit together…and can really appreciate your passion for the LA Kings. The Black Hawks used to be my guys–I hope you’ll forgive me😉…
The pleasure was mine – I’ve been lucky enough to visit Dingle and drive along that coastline several times. And my mom is a Blackhawks fan so no worries! 🙂
Hi Amy, thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m off to have a look through your “tesserae” now 🙂
I just read your story including your father’s memoir about his times in the Marines. Great story. As a Montreal Canadiens fan, I have great memories of the Kings in 1993. Too bad about that oversize stick, McSorley! What, you say the Kings have won a couple Cups recently. How did I miss that? And thanks for stopping by my blog. Revisit any time. 🙂
Glad you liked my dad’s tales of being a Marine! And I first became a fan of the Kings back in 1993 – what might have been if not for that fateful curve…
Thank you for liking my blog post! Seems like you have some great stories here as well:) hope to hear more from you!
Thank YOU! Visiting your blog is like taking a delightful quick vacation – I’m looking forward to reading more!
Thank you for visiting – you are always welcome
A pleasure! Thank YOU!
Amy, you are wonderful, thank you for likings.
Amy, could you think to make a site of your finnish roots or is it too personal. I would very much like to know where they have lived here. And thank you again for your likings.
Hi! Have wanted to do a post about Finland (would have to dig out my notes but I believe relatives were from places like Vaasa and Kalvia) but my trips there were from the old days when I took 35mm photos. Someday I’ll transfer them and share more about the country that’s so dear to my heart – and half my roots! Kiitos!
Thank you for your answer. Four sisters of my husbands father left this country and two lived in Illinois area and one in New York, one in Chigaco. That is the reason why we are so interested.
Ah, so you have a U.S. connection! My mom’s grandparents all ended up in Ohio. I loved going to Hanko and imagining how the emotions they might have felt leaving their homeland by ship.
Thanks for taking the time to read my Alaska cruise story. Wonderful time. Looks like you snapped a great cruise shot of the rainbow and clouds. And I noticed a super shot of Istanbul, a beautiful city where I lived for two years. Great blog!
Thank you! Enjoyed your Alaska post which brought back lots of nice cruising memories! And how cool to live in Istanbul!
Pleased to meet you. Sorry for taking so long to get back here to meet you!
Pleasure to meet you as well!
KIITOS vierailusta – from one Finn to another, this one from Australia 🙂
Tervetuloa!
Nice blog. Hope to come back to visit again. 🙂
Thank you – and loved your shots of those bears! (Although I think I’m a bit more comfortable photographing ducks…)
Thank you for stopping by http://rawpagan.com

What a beautiful and inspiring blog! Thanks for liking my Solstice post, and may the new year be your happiest ever.
Thank you so much – and the same to you!
Thank you for acknowledging ‘Splendid’
at Found Poetry Frontiers. And thank you
for sharing your tesserology bits of life.
Some times we need to make up our own
words to describe what it is we do, just as
I have done with ‘herstorical.impressions,’
a rich, unfolding field of creative research
into the varied lives and works of women
I share at http://susanpowersbourne.net.
Happy new year, Susan Powers Bourne
Happy New Year to you! And I think ‘herstorical’ is a terrific word! Thanks and looking forward to reading more of your posts!
What a georgeous and intriguing blog! Thanks for the like, and I’ll be back.
Hi Amy, thanks for stopping by my blog again. Yours looks very intriguing, just read the post about Stonehenge. I’ve felt the same so often about places I’ve visited – you need to make connections, somehow. Anyway, happy new year 🙂
Thanks so much! Enjoying your posts as well – and a happy new year to you!
Thank you for liking my posts!

I build scale models, and often wonder when I see a scale model of some “ancient” civilization what life must have been like back then. Were we concerned with the same thoughts and wonders as we are now?
I wish you many happy adventures!

Hello! Yes, it’s fun to find (or make!) those things that inspire us to ponder the past! Thanks and best wishes and ponderings to you!
Hi Amy, it’s lovely to meet you, thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope 2016 has started well for you and yours.

Thank YOU for sharing your thoughts and pictures with us! And welcome to blogging!
Hi Amy thanks a lot for visiting my blog and liking.
My pleasure – and I’m now a ‘follower’ too!
I like very much the name of your blog
Thank you! Was inspired by ‘tesserae’ and wanted to fit it in somehow!
Hi Amy; thank you for stopping y my new blog. I like your title and the whole setup of yours. I know I will be stopping by often. I was really intrigued when I saw “tesserology”; what a great word, fitting for what you are doing.
Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to following more of your travel adventures too!
You have a beautiful blog! Thanks for visiting mine and for the like.
A pleasure – and thank YOU!
Thanks for liking “The Craziest Meal I Never Had.” UC-Berkeley? Great school. My niece attends Cal Poly (she’s from here in Ohio). Hope to get out your way soon…all the best!
Thanks for stopping by! Your potential dinner was quite entertaining! You might check out a book called ‘Van Loon’s Lives’ where he does pair historical figures for dinners. Hope you can visit and enjoy the west!
[…] Tesserology […]
I love this. The philosophy is a bit similar to the philosophy behind my novel in stories based on discarded buttons. “The idea that the smallest things around us have meaning and help create a larger–if imperfect–whole has always been powerful to me. Items in a junk drawer, belongings lost in the park, fragments from a ruin–all provide examples of objects that can offer unique perspectives on the bigger story created by the collection itself.”
Intriguing- and I certainly agree! For me, if something (however insignificant seeming) that evokes a memory is priceless. Thanks for reading!
Hi Amy! I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. Here is the link to pick up your Award: https://travelhummingbirds.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/liebster-award/
Thank you, Natalia!
I am so happy to have found your site (thanks to Dutch goes the photo!…congrats for guessing his mystery place!). I’m loving your site already – excuse me while I poke around a “bit” more. Take care.
Thanks very much! I’m enjoying checking out your site – and I certainly like the idea of learning new things! Thanks again – and you take care too!
Hi Amy,
I very much appreciate you coming to visit my blog. I hope that you found it a good read.
Many Thanks, Scott
I did indeed! Exciting adventures and beautiful images!
Thanks for visiting Amy. Physical mosaics are so incredibly durable.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed all the posts on Vancouver’s Christmas lights.
Beautiful! And I wish you the best on your 2017 travels!
Thanks
Hey. Thank you for the like and please follow. I’m following you and I like your blog. I’m new at this so I’d appreciate your support.
Thank YOU! Enjoyed your take on Sherlock – and best blogging wishes!
Hi, Amy. Thanks for liking my post with the review of SPQR.
Foraging around on your blog, I nuzzled up to the viking posting – very nice, especially the picture of the model of a viking building.
Thank you! L’anse Aux Meadows was amazing! And you know, I bought the SPQR book some time ago – now I’m even more anxious to read it!
Thank you for liking my “Rock the Waters” post. In return, your site has gifted me “tesserae” as new variation of (to me) the more familiar “tesseract” – the four-dimensional analog of the cube.
Hi there! Really enjoy going along with you on the hikes in your posts – looking forward to more! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for visiting my blog Amy. Love yours!
My pleasure – looking forward to seeing more! Thanks for stopping by!
Likewise Amy!
