half baked: Wherein Corrie discovers that she has a problem with lobster
http://cozybaker.blogspot.com/2014/06/wherein-corrie-discovers-that-she-has.html
We are not yet, I trust, even half done." - C.S. Lewis. Friday, June 20, 2014. Wherein Corrie discovers that she has a problem with lobster. When you eat a lobster- head and tail, or half tail, or whatever, you're basically disembowling it, or at minimum, disem-something-ing it. What is it, anyway? Muscle, brains, fat? One other thing: many of the birds here are the same as the ones we have in Texas: mockingbirds, mourning doves, grackels. One wonders why, if they can have a habitat in Belize, they w...

We are not yet, I trust, even half done." - C.S. Lewis. Monday, November 25, 2013. We let Addy sleep in that morning (we have been blessed with quiet hotels! Ate breakfast, checked out, and then headed off to eastern Maryland. Our goal was to see the Harriet Tubman byway, a series of historical points important in her life and the Underground Railroad. We didn’t see many of them, but the drive itself was beautiful. Barges, fishing boats, navy boats, and sailboats tilting on choppy waves. Addy has pointed...

Popp Life: Popps….postponed.
http://the-popps.blogspot.com/2013/12/poppspostponed.html
December 8, 2013. Well, last week, on Thursday to be exact, Bella and Tootaw were supposed to become Popps. Way back in May at the TPR trial, the judge set a hearing for December 5th stating that should give the agency. Of time to complete the adoption. (Especially since TPR had already been handled and they didn’t have to do a best interest staffing.). But, here we are. Not only did we not get to finalize the adoption last week, but the agency. Has not even started. Someday soon it will be official.

Popp Life: All Of Us...
http://the-popps.blogspot.com/p/whos-who_04.html
This is Brian, aka Daddy, aka Mr. Popp. He is my wonderful husband of just over four years. Among other things he is an engineer, a woodworker, a bring-home-the-baconer, an extrovert, a soft hearted people lover, and a man of God with an incredibly positive spirit. Before you go thinking I've found Mr. Perfect, he also leaves his underwear on the bathroom floor. Underwear aside, he is a wonderful Daddy, and I could not ask for a husband better suited for a quirk like me. We won't have to say goodbye....

We got away late (surprised, anyone? It encourages my heart to know we'll see him again. :).

I'm not sure of the name of its species, nor do I really want to know; what matters is that it feeds on manflesh, particularly,. PS Two foods I'll miss: fry jack and wangla. Wow.

We are not yet, I trust, even half done." - C.S. Lewis. Saturday, June 21, 2014. Home again, Home again. Have the chance to experience true street food- at the Canal Street market in Belize City.

Popp Life: ‘Tis the Season.
http://the-popps.blogspot.com/2013/12/tis-season.html
December 2, 2013. 8216;Tis the Season. It happens every year, so I’m not sure why I let it surprise me. The stores start playing Christmas music. We put up our Christmas tree. Lights are on the houses all around us (but not ours, because seriously, where do people find the time! So every year, as we usher in the holidays, we also usher in dis-regulation and regression. Every Christmas is hard for our girls. They are clearly confused by their feelings and revert back to an instant fear response. Foster so...

Popp Life: January 2014
http://the-popps.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
January 20, 2014. So, as is typical, we have to keep things interesting around here. We wouldn’t want to go more than six months or so without a major life change – that would be so, you know,. We are moving. This Saturday. To be clear: all seven of us are going. We’ve planned this for so long – it was always a future thing – always something we planned for, never something we did. Well, now we’re doing it. And it’s so much harder than we anticipated. All that to say, it is difficult going. Brian intervi...

We are not yet, I trust, even half done." - C.S. Lewis. Sunday, May 26, 2013. A different kind of Memorial Day. Surely you know the song "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"- and the line, "Here I lay my Ebenezer/ Here by Thy great help I've come? I only recently found out what that meant.and discovered that in meditating on my "Ebenezers" I became more and more assured of God's faithfulness. I found an article here. By Kyle Butts of Apologetics Press) that fully explains the meaning of the phrase:. At th...
