Cookie Goes Camping


We have a new puppy, a Jack Russel Terrier named Cookie.  She is 3 months old, and a gift to us from the man who hit and killed our beloved dog Sammy.  (His mother is a breeder in Northern Idaho.)  She had been with us only 2 nights when we took her camping with us.  She did really well, and spent a lot of time tucked in a life jacket or a back pack.  She didn't really know how to walk on a lead, and she tired out real quickly. 

It has now been two weeks since she went camping, and now she has grown a lot, and is a real puppy, chewing on things, making messes and needing lots of training.  She is learning fast, but not fast enough at times for my patience. She is real cute and has some winning ways about her.  Enjoy the photos.

Pohnpei, Part 3: Liduhduhniap Falls

(Note to those who weren't with me on Pohnpei in 1988.  You are welcome to listen in, but I am writing mainly for my fellow teachers, myself, and my family.  There will be some things you won't understand.  Just skim those parts, if you wish.) We stayed in this lovely building.  I think it used to be painted blue.  The lower floor used to be Mr. Quail's house.  The lower left apartment was Mr. Keith's.  Remember him?  The maintenance man?  We stayed in his apartment.  The building is still in good condition, but the cupboards and cabinets need help.  The particle board has swelled after all these years, and the drawers no longer work.  The building behind "Mr. Quail's place" is a cafeteria on the ground floor with  girls housing up above.  The boys are in the building that the nice Philippino lady, I think her name was Ramie, who taught typing lived in.  And there are a couple guys in the apartment in th...

Mother's Day - Meal and Music

To start the morning out, I was banished from our home.  The kids were working on a surprise, and they didn't even allow me to be in my bedroom to wait.  So, I went to garage sales (there aren't many on a Mother's Day morning, but I scouted them out anyway), I bought gas, and went back home.  They said they weren't done yet, only 10 more minutes though.  So Rob took me on a 20 minute walk.  They weren't done when we got back, so they sent me to my room this time (am I in "time-out"), and around 30 minutes later I was finally called for breakfast.   Ok, it was  worth it, waiting for breakfast until 10:30 A.M. this morning.  My kids made a gourmet meal for me, nicer then the finest restaurant around, and there is not chance of me getting "glutened' here. My plate looked like a serving platter itself.  They made Baked Hashbrowns in a heart shaped pan, and then filled the center with my favorite recipe of scrambled tofu, garnished wit...

Tarague Beach Campout and Emergency

We just finished our second whole week on Guam.  It is such a lovely place.  I am enjoying the weather and all the nice people we are meeting.  Guam is a friendly place.  People are very glad to meet you, and are very welcoming. We were invited this weekend to go on a camp out with the Agat church and Pathfinder club to Tarague (pronounced Tara-gee) Beach.  This pristine beach is located on Anderson Air Force Base on the north end of the island.  It is protected from abuse and trash, but you have to know the right people to have permission to go there.  One of the church members is in the Navy and made arrangements for the group to have a camping site at this lovely beach. We got there on Friday afternoon, in just enough time to get situated before dark.  Someone had gone there the night before and set up tents for everyone who did not have one, rented from the Navy.  Patti Powers was in charge of the food.  She thoughtfully arra...
