12/13/11--00:42: Yumemaru (chan 1825977)

  Todays Adventuring brought Matthew and I to a delicious yakiniku restaurant named yumemaru. If you have never been to a yakiniku style establishment I highly recommend it. You choose what you would like to eat and the ingredients are cooked by the diners on a grill built into the table. It is both a [...]

12/14/11--23:31: Drying Basil (chan 1825977)

As I sit here writing, the delightfully fragrant smell of basil floats through my home. This spring I purchased a couple of tiny plants from a local garden center out in town. The warm temperature here in Okinawa, Japan makes this herb a wonderful addition to my miniature potted garden on the back patio. Those [...]

12/18/11--23:11: Quilt Block Sketch (chan 1825977)

I recently joined a group of ladies to make an Okinawa memory quilt. I am excited for this opportunity to make new friends, learn a new skill, and grow in other ways that I have not imagined. I have been assigned the “sea turtle” block and during the next few months I will have the [...]

12/20/11--05:47: A Surprise Package Of Blessings (chan 1825977)

This afternoon as my family and I made our way to the post office I had no idea that checking the mail would bring me such excitement. I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a package from my grandma Kay. When I arrived home I eagerly opened the box and found it full to [...]

12/22/11--00:03: Eggs Benedict At Last! (chan 1825977)

One of my favorite breakfast meals is eggs benedict. There is just something about that combination of food flavors that makes my mouth water! I blame genetics since my grandpa John claims it as a favorite. Before moving over here to Japan, I was in a fairly regular habit of driving my grandfather to breakfast, [...]

12/24/11--16:59: From Hats To Stockings (chan 1825977)

Last year when Christmas time rolled around we were still waiting for our household goods to be shipped over here to Okinawa, Japan. We had moved to Okinawa from Oregon only two months prior and we were learning to make due without all of our personal belongings as we waited. However, it wouldn’t have mattered [...]

Well it should come as no surprise that I forgot to write a post on the first day of the new year…and each day since then! I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy though! Where DOES the time go?!? I suppose that I’m done blabbing about that subject for now, so on to the next! The [...]

01/19/12--17:19: My First LEGO Keychain (chan 1825977)

Today my husband let me borrow his car so that I could drive myself to a doctor appointment. As I grabbed the keys I couldn’t help but notice the need for a new keychain. All that remained attached to the car key was a twisted up piece of metal that used to be the base [...]

I’m making good progress on my memory quilt squares. A few weeks ago I went over to my friend Marie’s house and used some of her scrap fabric to test out my design. I think my sea turtle squares are going to look good! Since then I’ve bought my fabrics, cut out all of my [...]
