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).

Cliff and I exchanged chocolates for Valentine's Day...


Well, and my birthday, too. I've never been one to snub a "combined gift" and as a matter of fact, I encourage it. Quality over quantity, I say.

Here's what Cliff got...

Godiva is his very favorite, still...but Japanese chocolates are a close second.


And here's mine:

Not as tasty, maybe...but still, I think I made out on this deal...don't you?

Next, I'm looking for some cute shoes to match. Now I know why people love to golf...it is SO all about the shoes! ;-)

Seriously, though. I am having an awesome time with the golf lessons. I'd like to know where else you can go to get free lessons, practically on demand, from a golf pro. Seriously...I'd like to know...so Cliff can start talking to the detailer about our next assignment!

Hi Carrie,

See, I'm right...it's all about the shoes. The pressure's on. And talk about pretentious...I don't have golf covers nor I do have hoity toity plaid club head covers w/a matching bag.

Good luck finding the shoes...mine are super cute. I have RED.

Just remember keep your head down when swinging at the ball.

Chat soon,
The Lovely Lisa Lamont

Chris is HUGE into golf. Around Christmas time, I went into the golf store with him and told him "Yknow, I might take up golf. There's some really cute clothes in here!" So, I totally get that you Will Golf 4 Shoes.

We will have to go golfing some time. I am looking for someone to go with besides my husband. My set is pink and brown as well. I love to play golf and should really go to those lessons at Awase...

Tiffany...you should come to the lessons! Sonny is great. Susan comes with me...and Carolyn started coming, too. Sometimes is just us 3...so there is plenty of room. And it's FREE!

I love those clubs! Richard and I used to golf every week. He reminded me that I swung the club like a baseball bat---my first love! I NEEDED lessons. It was fun though!
