This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

November 1, 2011 - English Global Group Closed.
After running our English Global Group school for over a
year, we finally made a decision to close the school
beginning this month. A lot went into this decision
including, too few students, unfinished work on the adjacent
house, neglecting Internet projects and a bit of controversy
over some miscommunications with a good friend and
assistant. Actually we decided to at least think about
opening English Global Group again as a coffee shop and
English conversation school but not sure at this time.

Cool Season Garden.
Found some time away from remodeling the adjacent house to work on the garden
and put in new crops for the upcoming cooler months. This includes daikon
(Japanese white radish), turnips, carrots, Chinese cabbage, onions, and broccoli
not to mention a bunch of things growing in pots. More pics coming in a few
weeks.
A Studio is Born.
Um….well….at least not for another couple weeks. We decided to use the adjacent
house we purchased exclusively for making videos for our Internet sites. Each of
the six rooms will be a different studio and theme. Kitchen will be used to make
cooking videos for BeeMee TV which will be featured on our BeeMee.net site. Stay
tuned for updates.

Harvesting Rice
Spent a couple hours harvesting rice a few weeks ago with friends in the farm
their family owns. Then we all ate lunch and dinner together and partied for
hours. Pretty cool experience.

Thanksgiving Dinner Was Fantastic.
Now we are all full from the incredible Thanksgiving dinner Akiko made. She
really did good considering many of the ingredients in Japan are much different.
Getting ready to watch football and eat dessert.
Happy Thanksgiving From Japan.
We are spending a very nice couple days at home. Akiko was home from work on
Wednesday for a national holiday and was able to begin preparing Thanksgiving
dinner. She stayed home from work today to finish cooking and to celebrate
Thanksgiving. We ordered a turkey online this year. Really looking forward to
eating her wonderful cooking later today. |
