My cousin, MJ's, Kyle's, and Lana's Mom goes to church here. This is her extended family. And so I was invited to celebrate yet another January birthday celebration. It was Miss Joy's birthday.
As "required", pancit.
And, spaghetti.
And the rest is simple "filler".
Comfort food filler.
Crispy chick'n.
Healthy tofu stirfry.
Simple carbs. =P
Hearty soup.
By the way, at first it baffled me how one can eat a piping hot bowl of soup in this hot humid environment. Then then I had a sip. Then a gulp. And the next thing you know, I'm eating it like it was January in Maine.
That's my cousin, MJ's Mom, with her trusty Canon.
And that's Mr. Jace with his trusty PS. (Point and shoot.)
The kids had a great time.
Even the big kids.
Especially this big kid. (He is the School Principal's little brother.)
No wonder MJ's Mom loves it here!
I'll close with another history lesson: MJ's Mom was one of the first students of the SDA Mission School in Truk.
*Yes, cousin. Monkeys grow old too.*
(Inside joke.)
I grew up in this place - kindergarten all the way to eight grade. Only three teachers' names of I could remember, Miss Roberta -2nd grade, Miss Julia-4th grade, & Mr. Bryan- eight grade, and the rest ???? I can't even remember. Anyway, my extended family comes in and out every year -and I just love being with them! And cousin, I'm growing old too...???
