We’ve had pretty smooth sailing here lately. Maybe after those two big lightning hits last fall, anything seems like smooth sailing. As a result, we’ve been able to press on with accomplishing some of our dreams here at Radio HRGS. I even managed to mow the yard, but it wasn’t quite dry enough to get [...]

Christmas came a little early for Peter and Sandi. They found their missing dog, Saydee. It is a bit of a long story and, if you remember, it was while looking for Saydee that the Silseths got their vehicle stuck for a week. So let’s just say it was quite a reunion. Of course, now [...]

When I was in college in Kentucky, we had the worst ice storm I’d ever seen just as we were returning to school from our Christmas break. One of my friends needed four hours to drive the last 15 miles. After carefully parking in his assigned spot, he closed the car door and watched in [...]
So, you may be asking yourself, “What’s Mildred been doing recently?” Just thought I’d share a few photos to show you what I’ve been up to. I won’t bore you with the usual activities: voice tracking, the live Request & Dedication program, banking, financial reports, cooking, dishes, cleaning, and laundry. Here are a few of [...]
We’ve been up to our necks in alligators for so long that it’s an incredible feeling to finally be draining the swamp a little bit. Last week we received the replacement LNB for our satellite dish. Not sure what that is? Watch the video and I’ll explain there. That was the last of our significant [...]

“Sometimes I think my life would make a great TV movie. It even has the part where they say, “Stand by. We are experiencing temporary difficulties.” ~Robert Brault We’ve certainly had our share of technical difficulties lately. Last week, on Friday afternoon, the FM went off the air. The link between the studios and the [...]

Going to church in a different culture is … well … different. The music is usually different. The order of worship is sometimes different, but often surprisingly similar. The “dress code” is almost certainly going to be different. The preaching is not what we are used to back home. None of those things make a [...]

If you read our previous post, you’ll know that we’ve been buried under an amazing pile of things to fix. The pile is still there, but it’s smaller than when we got back here from vacation about a week and a half ago. Now, if you want to get everything in chronological order, scroll on [...]

What Phd!? Well, Peter used that phrase once and I asked him what he was talking about. He said it means, “piled higher and deeper.” As rough as things were here for us while Peter and Sandi were on vacation, I think it was even tougher on them while we were gone. I enjoyed our [...]
… then I must be healthy as a horse by now. I can’t believe how many hours I’ve been sleeping. A couple nights back, I had an episode of busy brain syndrome — planning and organizing all the things I need to do when we get back to Roatán— and didn’t fall asleep till after [...]
Before I start, I need to take a moment to thank our son, Jesse, for all his awesome help with some of the behind the scenes work on this blog. He handles the hosting and did the original design for it. He just moved it to a new server that’s much faster than the old [...]
The termite project is succeeding! But it’s been slow due to a sunshine shortage so I invented a way to get the wood hot quicker. All it took was a small piece of plywood, some aluminum foil, a little tape, and something to lean the contraption against. I think that the reset of the desks [...]
