Gimpel and Gumby to Papua New Guinea. That was our handles when we were younger, but it became 'going to png' We lived there for over 12 years and are back in the U.S. now adapting to live and viewing life through a much different lens. I rarely update my blog because I tend to be too long winded and I frankly don't know who wants to read this stuff anyway. I'm not sure if my thoughts help the world, but I'm putting it out there just in case it does.

Calvin at 6th grade graduation. He picked out the coat from a local thrift store, the tie is from Thailand. (he planned his ensemble well in advance)
The kids fishing together on the Bae river behind our old house.
FRESHMAN!!!!!! (actually our kids aren't used to those American terms, but it doesn't sound right to shout 9th GRADER!)
He's in 7th grade now, has his own locker.
It's Saturday, chore day, chore #1 help dad clean out the chimney of the new place. Identifying and removing fire hazards is part of being on the volunteer fire-team.
In moving I changed our home wireless SSID (I have encouraged the community to identify their wireless by where they live or their names, so that if there is a problem the Network Dept. can spend less time identifying the location of the broken WAP.) So... when we moved I had to rename our wireless and thus reconnect all our devices. Since I last did that, I was surprised by how many wireless devices we have. Pictured above is all our kindles (or kindle apps). !!! How did this happen? We had 1 gifted to us, and then another, and it grew, until everyone in the house had their own kindle! It makes financial sense if you're going to BUY books, for us because we don't have to pay or wait for shipping. However because all of us are avid readers, we've had to slow down on the purchasing and use free or library books. Anyway, I was surprised by how many wireless devices we had.
