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.

LANDSCAPING FINISHED.
Yup can actually relax this Summer with the landscaping and most projects
finished up. Put in a brick walkway, good quality rocks, and a sand play area
for little Shai. A couple citrus trees, loquat trees, along with grapes and
kiwis growing on the wall and what used to be the carport. Really enjoying all
this free time in Japan now.
CLIMATE CONTROL IN A NEW LAUNDRY ROOM.
Built this laundry room outside the bedroom. Used a few unwanted shoji for a
hinged roof which can be opened on sunny days and closed when raining. Put new
bamboo sheets to keep out the sun and reduce temperatures in the house. Pretty
cool….um literally.
