Tourists: Lamanai | Grays in the Shade
https://graysintheshade.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/tourists-lamanai
Grays in the Shade. Northerners head south…. As I mentioned in a previous post, after our sister and brother-in-law left we had another set of fun visitors in for a week from Iowa. Lucky for us they had been reading about the Mayan ruins at Lamanai. We caught the first water taxi at 7 AM and traveled about an hour by car from Belize City to the New River. Lamanai means “submerged crocodile”. It was a Mayan City that was continuously occupied for over 3000 years. As I posted here. New River in the Rain.

https://graysintheshade.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/tourists-goffs-caye
Grays in the Shade. Northerners head south…. Tourists: Goff’s Caye. Once again someone is visiting the island so we have been inspired to actually leave the caye and go on some adventures around Belize. A friend’s brother is visiting from Canada and, being the good friends we are, we helped show him around. First we went to Goff’s Caye. Goff’s Caye looks like a New Yorker cartoon island. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have a fantastic time though! Goff’s Caye Ho! Cooking Dessert (lobster tails). Notify me o...

http://carlyim.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-chickens-first-snow.html
Because good parenting is a lot like acting; is she for real? Who knows. . . Thursday, December 5, 2013. The Chickens' First Snow. Little Frog enjoying the snow last night. Early morning in the yard. Nugget and My Sharona breaking their fast. Jack Chillin' in the Coop. Gorgeous sundog on my way to work. We got our first BIG SNOW yesterday, which amounted to 6 inches or so. Not such a big deal, but the first snow is always a bit exciting. . . but the chickens were not impressed. The Chickens First Snow.

MamaStar: January 2013
http://carlyim.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Because good parenting is a lot like acting; is she for real? Who knows. . . Sunday, January 13, 2013. Oh did I ever over commit this year! With about 300 pictures on my phone and 30 or so blog posts drafted that I never quite had time to finish I realized finally over winter break that I was losing myself to the business of the year. Not good. Not that I can quit anything now, but I'm reevaluating what needs to be reevaluated. He wanted a Doctor Who birthday party. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://carlyim.blogspot.com/2014/01/2014.html
Because good parenting is a lot like acting; is she for real? Who knows. . . Thursday, January 2, 2014. Yeah, that might have something to do with it, too. Fortunately for me, the kids headed back to school today (wah for them) while I still have a few days of winter break left to get started on my goals for the year. I never, ever do resolutions, but I always have goals for myself. 2013 was such a monumental year of change; Chickens! Well, without dwelling on the past, here's to the future! So today I'm...
