A Navy wife's life overseas. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Whaling Sheds and Banjo Music. Merry Christmas from Japan! As always, click on the images for larger versions. I was terrible company, very boring, staying in the car to catch up on a backlog of work. (More about Arita in another post! Sunday, MM headed out to Nagasaki overnight, and I collected him the next evening at the JR (Japan Rail) station, where we enjoyed tonkatsu and conversation. I was just about at the point of suggesting we turn back...

A Navy wife's life overseas. Wednesday, April 11, 2007. Showing Off "My" Japan. I'm sorry it's been such a long time since my last post. I'm so busy having adventures that it's hard to find time to write about them! As always, click on the images for larger photos. And I got my tamer-but-still-spicy level 3. I think MM got the level 2, and even that was a little much for him! Note to self: start visitors out with a level 0 or 1, unless you KNOW they're chili-heads! And yakking away for a couple of hours,...

A Navy wife's life overseas. Friday, June 27, 2008. Lighting the Way Home. Here is another vignette from our lives here in Japan. There is so much more to tell you, but not enough time to tell it in! More to come, of course. Please forgive the blurry photos, as I was dealing with the dark, and my camera was NOT behaving. (Of course, I felt flash photography would not be appropriate in the least! As always, click on the photos for larger images. Though the entire thing was very foreign to our eyes, it was...

For a .pdf brochure detailing current events at Huis Ten Bosch.) It really isn't a place I thought I'd visit, as I'm here to see Japan, not a reproduction of The Netherlands.but I was very pleasantly surprised. Our first stop was the Teddy Bear Museum (see the giant floral teddy bear topiary beside MM's head! MM and I wan...

A Navy wife's life overseas. Monday, May 04, 2009. Stalking the Savage Fern. Was making me very carsick! We stopped at an uncle's house (he wasn't home) to use the toilet and pet the uncle's dog. Then Hiroko's taciturn father took me behind the house to a surprisingly dark stand of cedar trees. There were two low bars, with branches (thin logs? Holes where wild boars had rooted up some shoots to eat, scattering bits and pieces everywhere. We continued up and up and up. The second, smaller house had a ver...

A Navy wife's life overseas. Friday, May 02, 2008. I'd Like to Thank the Academy. Lookit what I got! I actually received the award for a post I wrote over two years ago about Japanese garbage collection and disposal, oddly enough. It wasn't even a post with photos. I was shocked, and surprised, and all-out-of-proportion excited to receive this award.and grateful. Very grateful. Do visit The Rising Blogger by clicking on the image, and check out some of the other recipents. I'm in awfully good company!

A Navy wife's life overseas. Friday, September 07, 2007. Edited with a new image, below! It's been far, far too long since I've managed to post here, and I apologize. Our unexpected trip to the US, my mother-in-law's passing, pneumonia, and simply having a husband at home again have all taken their toll. But.it's time to get back to adventures, and I'm still so very behind! Here's another grocery store story, to tide us all over until I can post more this weekend about my adventures with MM. And carefull...

A Navy wife's life overseas. Monday, May 26, 2008. Remembering, Honoring and Thanking Them. Today is Memorial Day, a day to remember all our fallen service men and women, those who have served, and those who serve today. I think it's even more than just thinking of them - I think this is a day to be grateful, and to express that gratitude. Thank you for your service. For being an American Sailor, with all that entails. 8221; and “yes, sir! Thank you for giving your time, your thoughts, your energy, your ...
