Our friend Akane recently returned from a trip to Pensacola, FL where her daughter is stationed and where our friends Judy and Andrew live. She brought us back a special piece of art, a gyotaku, not the restaurant in Hawaii 
but it’s a traditional Japanese method of stamping and printing fish. The fish was caught by Andrew and now Judy runs a new small business selling prints for Saltwater Impressions.
Vicki and her husband are thankful for 1 elderly dog at home and 4 adult kids living out of state. Some of Vicki's interests, in random order, include cooking (mostly Asian and plant-based) simple ethnic dishes using kitchen appliances/gadgets, minimalism/simple living, traveling (mostly in Asia), nature walking, snorkeling, container gardening, learning hula, reading non-fiction, listening to audiobooks, talking story with neighbors while walking our dog, visiting museums/historical sites, Lay Biblical Counseling and volunteering at church and in the community.
