A Month in Pictures

Sisters Tania and Sandra watching us coming up the path.

You know how when you go shopping and you spend all the money in your wallet? It is spent - gone. You have made an exchange - the money for commodities or services. If you are a smart shopper you will have made a positive exchange with no regrets over an empty wallet. Afterall, money really is worthless if you don't plan to exchange it for something of value.

We've spent this month in the warmth and GREEN of Roatan, Honduras. We've spent this month being encouraged by some very positive opportunities.  We've spent this month with some really special people.  The spending was an exchange of time for experiences. We think our exchange - time for experiences - was very worthwhile. 

Take a look at some of the things we have exchanged time for over the past month. I think you'll agree - a really, good exchange.

1. Back-to-school preparations

2. School registrations
