Just life – mostly pictures

I told you in our 

news letter

that I’d put up a blog 

with more photos of

life for the Abbots 

and life around here. 

Peanut, was brought to the city a couple times

So…. This family has had the best pets.

WHAT???? 








Kids play everywhere.
Barry's village gym. 

Physical fitness goes with 

spiritual teaching.

He even built a Salmon Ladder.








Friends......






Music....




This is Caeli in front of my lunch spot. Can you see the hammock?

Below is the RFIS soccer pitch. The art on the wall is each graduated class's "wall." At the old campus each class could decorate a wall of the pavilion and it would be repainted each year. Here, they get to stay! To the left of the dugout is another dugout and then already 4 more sections are painted. The twins will have the next one. Caleb's is two to the left after the second shelter. Kaiah's is the one with the cross/sword. Daniel's is the one you can clearly see 2015 and Josiah's is two to the right of 2014. (I think.) Bradley's was the last one at the previous campus. 

Oh, that is Channah right under the "Class of 2014"

They are a little jumbled but the program is not cooperating in letting me move them around to group things together. So, below here there are photos of the following:

Channah's class garden, 














Exquisite beauty,








A neighborhood road, 

The pictures are reversed then and now. The first one is meant to be after the next but Blogger is difficult so I left it. I took the lower picture a few years ago coming from the direction of my house. The road was not really safe for some cars to drive in rainy season. The first picture was taken within the last month or two after the completion of the "new" bridge. The photo is taken from the opposite direction so the road looks like a different place. The new bridge is raised up quite a bit from the height of the old bridge quite visible in my photo. (The photographer is coming down the hill visible in my photo.) 












These two photos are taken on carnival day, a fun fundraiser for the classes. 

 

 

Same field as the one above with players on it in the heat of the day  but at sunrise. The dugout pictured here is the one not pictured above but the photo was taken a year back so the most recent wall art is not present. The middle art is from Caleb's year. 

 

 Can you tell that the laundry is soaking wet. During any rainy season many people's laundry gets a second or third rinse!






Bananas I planted a few years ago, so glad we have enjoyed the fruit. I'm done with collecting photos but trust me I have enjoyed the fruit of the trees I've planted: soursop, guava, banana, and maybe a jackfruit before we go. I planted an avocado too but that one won't get mature in the next 1/2 year.

 

 

That's all for today. I hope you have enjoyed your stroll through our lives. 

I think my mistake with the programming is I didn't format it all in Word and transfer it over to Blogger. I'll try that next time but if it is this difficult again be prepared to give me suggestions for other blogging programs. :)
