Just want to share a quick thought. For anyone who thinks bednets are beautiful, exotic, or even romantic. Imagine how much fun they are to clean after your child has vomited on them. That's all, folks! Even within th...

Just Another Day in Paradise. Following our family as we transition to the FAO lifestyle. Saturday, April 20, 2013. 14 Months in to our 12 Month Tour. Once we were getting closer to the end of our tour, we asked if we could stay for a few extra months to allow B to finish out his school year which ends in June. I believe the official response was something along the lines of "we currently see no reason why you can't do this, but we remain free to change our minds at any point in time.". As The World Turns.

Lychees are my newest favorite (as they're in season right now). Admittedly though they make my fingers hurt. All that peeling. At least they taste incredibly good once you get them peeled. What are you favorite online spots for food? Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Somebody needs a vacation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We're Not in Kansas Anymore. Picture ...

Just Another Day in Paradise: November 2012
http://madlingers.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Just Another Day in Paradise. Following our family as we transition to the FAO lifestyle. Saturday, November 10, 2012. One year ago, we had already started making preparations for our "big trip". We spent the weekend in and around Sacramento (after a quick trip to the ER to remove popcorn kernels from B's ears).

Just Another Day in Paradise. Following our family as we transition to the FAO lifestyle. Tuesday, March 3, 2015. If that title doesn't draw you in, I'm not sure what will. In local news, an arrest warrant has been issued for the leader of the opposition party (BNP) and there's no real way to know what will happen if they actually take her into custody. Also, a few days ago, an American citizen was hacked to death with meat cleavers downtown. He was Bangladeshi-born and well-known as an atheist b...If Yo...

First, I will share a recent message we received from the commissary. Second, a message from our postal clerk. Dear Commissary members,. Carrying dry mixed and freeze cargo.

Just Another Day in Paradise. Following our family as we transition to the FAO lifestyle. Monday, June 3, 2013. Yes, you all knew it would happen. Eventually they have to let us come home. And now for the million dollar question: WHEN? Sure But who doesn't expect a long wait when they call customer service of a big corporation - this is busy season for Army moving after all.
