Earthquake in Honduras

We woke up this morning to news of a major earthquake in Honduras. The 7.1 earthquake had its epicenter about 80 miles off the coast of La Ceiba - one of the cities we have visited many times during our Jewell trips. Because of the severity of the quake, the effects were felt far and wide, killing one boy so far, and knocking down bridges. Many of the cities and places mentioned in this AP report are right where we were just a few months ago, and where a few folks from Jewell are scheduled to head tomorrow morning.

We do not have word yet how this has effected our friends at Proyecto Alcance or at the village of Embarcadero.

6 years!

Yep, that's how long we've been married. So far so good! After reflecting upon it, Trinity and I are glad to report we're both still happily married and planning on many more years together.

And, that's also how old Twister is. He's getting up there... but still going strong. He's not as hyper as he used to be, Allison & Wes can probably attest to the difference (and I must say, thank goodness), but he still just loves having company over, especially when there's food to steal. And I think Agnes keeps him feeling young.

Inside Joke

We just got a great forward from someone in our neighborhood that I thought I'd share with the blog.

Grilling tip

Spring is here, so it's time to get ready for that time honored cooking technique of outdoor grilling!

I have just found out there are many stores where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q grill! In these tough economic times free useful items are very welcome. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:

A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Dan's
Food Lion
Fry's
Home Depot
Big Lots
Brookshire's
Lowes
Publix
Safeway
Sam's Club
Tesco
Target
Vons
Trader Joe's
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixie


I especially like the higher rack -- which can be used for keeping things warm!
Just make sure to get a metal one... The plastic ones don't do so well.

We're big fans of reusing things at our house, so you might see one of these next time you come over!
