Crete, Greece

The island of Crete is a wonderful place. Randy was sent for work starting Sunday, but Cameron and I couldn't make that flight. We didn't leave until Wednesday. I have to say I do love military Space Available flights. You can't always make the flight, but when you it is free. Cameron has been studying Ancient Greece in his Usborne books (which I sell at: http://www.ubah.com/ecommerce/main.asp?sid=Z2846&gid=74337515 ) We went to the palace (ruins) at Konosos. Cameron ran from each room and pottery and picture and explained everything about the palace and the peoples. Cameron and I only stayed about 36 hours, but it was GREAT!!

Cameron's Karate

Cameron is now a yellow belt. He tested last night. He seems to have found THE sport. His favorite is still ice hockey, but since our past few duty stations have not been great Ice Hockey locations, well he hasn't done it in a while. Swimming he likes, but it took a lot of dedication and time that I wasn't willing to give ALL THE TIME!!

Cameron seems to have flourished in Karate though. He practices at home all the time and gets better with each passing day. Boy do they do tons of exercises in the class.

Our Garden

We decided to start a raised bed garden in April. Well actually I started it, but Randy got the "farmer" bug and took it over. We made a raised bed garden in our backyard with tomatoes, cilantro, green beans, cantelope and thyme. The tomatos did great. The thyme did good. Ciliantro, well only one plan sprouted so we decided to let it go to seed and try to replant from fresh seeds. Canalope and green beans both died, so I guess we will be buying those. We also planted in a couple other spots peppers (we believe are bell), rosemary, sage, basil and Cameron planted strawberries in a pot which are doing GREAT!!

Relaxation Day in Mineo

Yesterday and today have been very warm, but not tooo hot lazy days. The pool is in the backyard and Randy decided to take a rest in the pool, until............
