Random Thoughts on Misawa

{I bet you thought I'd forget tonight.}

Misawa is on the same latitude as Central Park in New York City; Newark, New Jersey; Kearney, Nebraska; Peoria, Illinois; Lima, Ohio; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Tuesday

Went to a PCS briefing today. I sat and listened as they said, "this will take 2 - 4 months", "this will take 6 months"....and wondered who thought it would be good to give us 2 months to do what they think will take 6. LOL

We met the United truck tonight....sorted and delivered food. I have a lead on wheat berries in Japan. I can hope....otherwise I'm sure to learn how to make whole rice bread. LOL

I found a dentist who is having pity on my situation and will get me in as soon as possible to check my tooth....hopefully it will only need a crown and not a root canal. Our dentist has been watching it since July....not sure why....he's retiring next month. I was advised to get it fixed before we went overseas and to find a different dentist to do it.

I am STILL trying to track down Jared's passport which was sent off over a month ago when he applied for a tourist visa.....

Arielle did couch school with the boys. What a lifesaver!

More photos tomorrow. I can't stay up any later....tomorrow is another full day!

Newing....

We celebrated Jamin's 18th Birthday yesterday....and yes, his birthday was 20 Feb but Mike was home with Dad Earl.

Jamin asked that we go canoeing (dubbed newing by Stacia) after Chapel. Here are some shots - random order because I'm TIRED....and they all looked fine on my computer...and flipped in PB...but I'm hoping they'll flip back on the screen like they did sometime between last night and this a.m. in the previous post. LOL

Stacia & I kicked back and enjoyed the ride.

We had thought we would sell both canoes before our move. We're not so sure now. It was so nice to get out away from everything...except near the park where ONCE AGAIN a kid aimed a bb gun at us....and there was that potato rocket too.
