Gettin Educated

Well, we're coming to the end of our third week of school and for this homeschool family, it's been a challenge to master the tasks of getting the ponytails up, hair gelled, shoes on, and teeth brushed for the 7:10 bus ride to the 7:20 ferry ride. Check. We're...

Trunks and Trip

Yeah, I'm getting huge. Yeah right. When we moved to the islands, we used these very strong but very light plastic trunks we bought from Wal-mart. Since there are no closets in our house, we use the trunks for storage, so we have them everywhere. We gave some of...

Texas Fried Chicken

We went to a new restaurant tonight while we were on the island capital… The name is Food Club Texas. Strange. It is fried chicken fast food. Certainly the first of it's kind on the islands. We loved it. The food tasted like fried chicken you might buy in...
