Sixteen....Sweet!


Jared David entered our life 16 years ago.... He and I are similar in many quirky ways. This can be good and can cause a lot of flat foreheads (you know - knocking heads)....but I'm thrilled as I observe the godly man he has become. His passion for God will carry him far....16 is a very nice number.

"These farmers are CRAZY!"

The above is Zander's conclusion.  It appears that the crows have been bothering the farmer's crops. So....




This led us to contemplate how terrible it would be if this farmer had caught Peter Rabbit....or if the kids had been bothering the field....can you imagine a field with baby dolls hung by their toes? ::snort::

Kaihinkoen (Momoishi Beach)

{From the base - out POL gate, turn left at the Lawsons toward 338....at 338 turn right.....go PAST the Veedol swim beach (with Marlin on the sign), keep going until you see a hwy sign over the road that says "Kaihinkoen" on it....turn left.... basketball hoops, camping spots, beach, picnic areas. }

We had an unexpectedly beautiful day.....warm weather, no rain.

We fed the ponies and walked around the surrounding neighborhood. Zander got bit last time and was a bit nervous today.


It was too cold to swim...but perfect to go Kaihinkoen,  the beach closest to our home. I thought it would be a great day to look for sea glass. We've not gone to this beach since discovered the swimming beach in July. This renews my perspective and refreshes my spirit....both of which needed a little pick me up today. The younger three were game.



Stacia informs me, "DADDY should help you find sea glass!"


It was a practically perfect afternoon. God's still on the throne and displaying His handiwork in Misawa, Japan. Have I said lately how blessed we are by this assignment? ::snort::
