We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

A New AND IMPROVED Look!


C
an I just tell you how over the moon I am for this new layout? My VERY multi-talented friend, Amy Lemon did it. She made the offer to spice it up (in a very tactful way that didn't offend me AT ALL. I knew it was lacking, though, so I would have deserved it, anyway). Anyhoo...I was SO thrilled because her blog is SO dang cute!

She asked what I was looking for...I told her that I wanted something patriotic, but subtle. I think she hit the mark, no? She even took the little "blooming where we are planted" thing off of our calling card and I hadn't even THOUGHT of putting that here. (I'm usually slow on the uptake like that.)

I feel like I can go sort some more stuff now...cheered by the thought that even though I have to leave about half of my nativity sets in storage, I can always get some new ones. They have Christmas in Japan, right?

Christmas in Japan?
Hmmm....I don't think so.
