Maddie's off to Middle school......

I still can't believe that my baby is in Middle school,  I don't think its really possible and I am still in denial!!! But she is a great kid and will do well, and she humored me and let me post some pics of her first day. They were told to wear their school colors.







                                                      And she is riding the bus!!!!

Okinawan wildlife!!


I now have fascination with the bats here, they look like flying cats, they are the largest ones I have ever seen!!! Right now I guess their favorite food is in bloom on the trees that are all over by our house and they have been filling the trees at night, while Ken and I were out on a walk last night watching the Taiko drummers we came upon several and I had to take their pictures!!

Last night I was really excited about the pics I could get of them and I really wanted to get one of them flying so everyone could see just how wide their wingspan (do bats have a wingspan?? I will have to look that up now!!) anyhow,  a couple of them took off and buzzed Ken's head and that was as close as I wanted to get to one so I moved away really quickly and didn't get a shot of them flying!!! Ken laughed at me, but that is OK, he still loves me and always humors me when I want to take a few more pictures!!
And we only have 1 more week till Mom arrives!!! Woohoo!!

They are kinda cute!!!
