A Little Bit of This and That

Well, I think I've pretty much recovered from any sort of jet lag. Thank goodness. I always seem to have trouble getting into a routine sleeping schedule after flying. But after some good rest, I've managed to find the time to put pictures onto my computer. Here they are-- for your enjoyment. :)

Me with Mr. and Mrs. DeLain

Me with Rachel and Heidi. Very dear friends whom I love and admire.
Here are some pictures of our awesome new piano that my sweet husband surprised me with!! He even had roses on the piano waiting for me when I walked in.
I mentioned in my last blog post that I pretty much missed the rainy season here. Well, the rain really helped out my flowers. However, it has been hot and dry since I have been home, so some of them were looking a little wilted. Not to mention that ants have been EATING UP my tree and some of my flowers. Anyone know of a good ant killer?

This is the same banana tree that my friend's dog chewed to the ground!

This flower bed is along side of the house. I started it back before I left for the states, but haven't done much with it. I stuck a hibiscus bush in the corner. I'm planning on planting more.

I also mentioned that I am going to start a patio vegetable garden. I probably won't be able to start on it until after next week, but I took pictures of our back patio to show you what I'm going to have to work with.

These next few pictures were taken in Seattle. I spent the day there with my mother in law and one of my sisters in law. I took the Space Needle picture while riding the monorail. It was the first time I had ever ridden a monorail.
CHEESECAKE FACTORY!
These last pictures were taken when I was flying into Okinawa. It was absolutely breath-taking. It reminded me of how awesome our God is! It was beautiful.
