I finished gathering the parts and tools yesterday for tomorrow’s trip to the neighboring island of Utila. I have e-mailed O’Neil and Thelma at the Utila Lighthouse and they have a room ready for me. They did ask that this time I try to not bring as much rain with me as back in October. [...]

Well, not really posies. That’s just a term I borrowed from Mildred’s dad. He likes to call any flower a posy. Someday, I should ask him if there’s a story behind that. I mentioned a few posts back that I’d put on some weight during the holidays. Between Thanksgiving, traveling, Jesse’s birthday, Christmas, our anniversary, [...]

It’s been a a week of struggles, but it sure helps when we get visitors from up north. Our friends, Curt and Carol Andrews, visited us Wednesday on a cruise. What an encouragement! They had a bit of a surprise for us when they got here. Carol had asked what they could bring that is [...]

It’s been a regular work week here at HRGS. That means that stuff still breaks about as fast as I can fix it. The first thing on my list Monday was to read all the electric and water meters. In the process, I ambled past a 1/2″ water pipe that was squirting water into the [...]

As our friends on Facebook, already know, we made it back to Roatán Saturday in one piece, but very tired. Mildred and I had a wonderful time in Tampa. I think that we got to spend more time with Jesse and Kristin than ever before since their marriage in 2006. We got to see lots [...]

The speaker is Pastor Steve Kreloff of Lakeside Community Chapel in Clearwater, Florida. His son, Ben, directs the Verse by Verse program at Lakeside. Ben and his wife, Danielle came to see us while celebrating their [...]

Today, after Mildred and I went up island to get groceries and eat lunch at The Bakery, I took a solo trip to Carambola Gardens just to play with my old Nikon D100 camera. It’s been way too long since I went out to make art just for the fun of it. I like the [...]

Wow, it’s been wet. Seems like all I’ve done lately is talk about the weather. Last year the rainy season almost wasn’t rainy at all. I think this year is going to make up for it. But we got some sunshine today, which we really needed. It’s been about two weeks. When I got back [...]

I don’t think I’ll write much today. For one thing, I’m very sleepy. I’m still trying to catch up after the long days over on Utila and the long days of preparation during the weeks leading up to the trip. Ken Anderson from Bible Basics in Tampa came down on Saturday the 25th of September. [...]

We’re just about ready for the Utila guy wire project. On Monday I went to La Ceiba where our friend Walter Bush helped me find a good price on some highly rated marine paint. He drove me all over to various paint stores and also to several hardware stores shopping for rope. Would you believe [...]

We had a mostly glorious week this past week with one major exception. You’ll remember Travis and Emily Mitten who had to return to the U.S. because of Emily’s incredibly difficult pregnancy. We learned last Wednesday that they lost the baby. She is still carrying it and and we are all praying that her body [...]

Before I tell you about our week, I should give a little update on my mom in case you’re wondering what’s happened since our last blog entry. Mom saw her cardiologist yesterday. She feels a lot better about having the catheter ablation procedure now that he has answered her questions. But she is not going [...]
