Shhh....it's a secret


Jared was stealthily stringing a line and getting ready for an early Sunday morning fishing excursion.  

Stacia found him in the garage, looked up with sweet eyes and said, "Hmmm....did you know NO ONE has ever taken me fishing?" 

They made plans to go this a.m. before anyone else was up. I was up and caught a photo. They just returned. 

Evidently, Stacia called an end to the fun. "We're catching sticks not fish, lets go home!"

REAL SATURDAY

Since Michael did sermon prep on Friday we had a REAL SATURDAY to enjoy. 


We spent the earlier parts of it touching base with as many family as we could via skype. 


I wrote a blog entry for the PWOCI blog and did more planning for our local Board planning/training retreat. 




We then headed for Shimoda Park aka Swan Park. We watched swans and ducks play and   BIG- 5 lb- trouts jump, while we listened to the Misawa Yankees trash talk the opposing team in Japanese. It was surreal. I think I picked up some new phrases though I'm not 100% sure what they mean or when they might be appropriate to use. ::snort::

Foot in the old and new world of farming - burning and weed eating

After watching, Zander said, "Why MOW the lawn when you can BURN it?" 



This photo with no make up serves one purpose only - I'm rather proud of the way my new highlights have finally grown in....and for all who have wondered through they past 6 years - THIS is my natural color these days! LOL 


As the youngest, this one is destined to be chasing behind the big ones for a few more years....Krista - note "Dumply" the Raggedy Ann Doll you made her. 


We love how easy it is to get out in nature here in Northern Japan. It feeds our souls.  Later this evening Michael and I ducked out to go to the beach. We encountered the sign below and debated various meanings...finally deciding to go walk on the beach. LOL

Pick a Caption


Do you think this sign says, "No men allowed,"  "Do not enter, you'll never swim on your favorite beach again" or "Do not park here - park up the road and walk in to look for sea glass"?
