Some lists

Some specific things I love about living here:

Carpet

Putting the toilet paper in the toilet

My hair straightens

Fewer political riots

Not having to wear flip flops ALWAYS in the house

Easy computer access

Jason, Mike, Steve, Mary, John E.

The piano

My sewing machine

Harmonizing in singing

Millie

Paul

Not hearing daily news of deaths in the area

Hot showers

Tolerable weather

Consistent running water

Seasons (besides rainy, hot, rainy)

Not sticking out too much. "gringita!!":)

My ties

Safe food - knowing I probably won't get sick from it

Drinking from the tap

No cockroaches

Some specific things I miss about living in Honduras:

People going door to door selling home-grown vegetables

The adventures when the lights randomly go out

Washing my clothes by hand in a PILA

Watching them dance (punta)

Real baleadas

Seeing kids playing soccer in the streets

The traditional kiss on the cheek each time you greet someone

Random cows block your path

The music pouring from the houses and pulperias (little shops)

Being the only one not tone deaf (cute voices)

The crazy moto taxis - no seatbelts

Nahum, Delmis, Reina, Cindi, Silbano, Sofia, Familia Cervantes, Jonny, Maira, Jackie, Mama Ibeth, etc.

The mischevious children

Hitting mangos down from mango trees (sticks, soccer balls, etc)

Fireworks for Christmas

They mow their lawn with a machete

The BEAUTIFUL hills, sunsets, stars

Showering with a bucket. :D

Drinking from a coconut on the side of the road

Houses that are painted bright colors and each Christmas painted a different color

Mayan Ruins

Feeling the Spirit in Spanish

The rivers

When the right side of the brain takes over...

Stumbled across some pretty fun sites today...

Why does the creativity have to stop at ties? Wow. I mean, who do you know who has a soccer ball purse? The ultimate soccer mom, perhaps.

Crazy patterns: joys of sewing

I love these patterns... I thought the models looked so funny. Perhaps trendy at one point in time.

John E. water skiing. :)

with a little help from our home teacher.

I can sail! I'm sailing! I'm a sailor!

I can moter! I'm motering! I'm a moat! ?

What a beautiful day! NONE of these pictures were doctored up. I really did get up on the water skiis for just a minute, although there is no proof. It was wonderful!

This is my favorite!

Caption contest!!

This is me. I wish. :) This is Sis Garner. She's amazing.

This is the closest picture to how I was gracefully flying through the air... er... it was for about 5 seconds.
