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.

Yoshino Cherry Blossom Viewing.
This is a favorite annual event in Japan. We are planning to travel to Yoshino
Mountain on April 14th to see the cherry blossoms. This is going to be the third
year to make this pilgrimage. Beautiful trees, scenic views, quaint shops, and
of course the numerous stores offering FREE SAKE TASTING. Then you find a nice
place to sit under the cherry trees, eat good food, drink wine, and enjoy the
view with family and friends. This link has good information about Yoshino
Mountain.

Poisonous Fish Yummy.
We ate something called Fugu, AKA Takifugu, a couple weeks before at a family
dinner party. This is a Japanese delicacy. The toxin in this fish is called
tetrodotoxin, or more precisely anhydrotetrodotoxin 4-epitetrodotoxin and is
about 1200 times worse than cyanide. Click the following link if you want to
know more. Bon Appetit.

This week finished installing shoji window coverings. Purchased new tatami for a
couple rooms. Although pretty expensive was worth every yen for sure. Getting
ready to make a guest house. If we cannot obtain a license then planning to rent
the property.
Beginning of bbq season.
