Still Waiting

So we are all moved in to our "new home"...sorta. All of our belongings are still somewhere between Wildomar, CA and Iwakuni, Japan. That is only a span of 6,000 nautical miles. We go online and look every few days to see if there are any updates on when we may get a delivery....and it is still set for June 10th and July 12th. Bummer Deal.
To pass the time, Jon has gone back to work...Lucky him. Tracy is already going stir crazy...we knew that would not take long. Finding a job here in Japan is not easy. She has signed up to volunteer with the Red Cross to help pass the time. In the meantime, she has been finding little things to do, like taking a bus/train trip up to Hiroshima for the day. She & Jon are now trying to figure out how to design a garden, and what grows in Japan. Lots of Internet research!
Looks like we won't have to worry about watering our garden, as we have entered the rainy season. From May 26 to November 30, we are in Typhoon Season. We did have a typhoon over the weekend, but by the time it reached us, it was down-graded to a tropical storm...although we did have over 7 inches of rain in 3 days!
Sorry there are no pictures to post...the battery on the camera is dead, and the charger is in a box...waiting to be delivered. Thank goodness Amazon delivers...we will see which package gets here faster!!

  1. Nice to hear some updates and see your new possessions. I like your new car. Young and hip...hopefully it is not a gas-guzzler! And yeah...Jon's car is "not him", but who can complain about it being free, right?
    Good choices on the vegetables...you can always go out and make a salad with your veggies there any time (when they sprout). Will they survive the rainy season?
    Well, hopefully you both are well and loving Japan. We miss you here.
