Well, we’re all housebound or bound to the bases, so I’m sure the last thing you all want to look at is another house, so I’ll save that post for next week.

With our first weekend almost behind us being practically bound to our off-base home, I found myself doing things that we usually do on rainy days b/c we couldn’t go to the parks near our home, go out to the local eateries, or even take a walk along the seawall that’s less than 100 meters from our front door.  What to do? The kiddos and I made a yummy carrot cake and I made some extra cupcakes and a layer cake for them to decorate all their own.  All this was not good for my waistline, but at least it saved my sanity!  That led me to think what kinds of rainy day (aka “Time of Reflection”) activities do y’all like to do w/your families?  Stay in jammies all day and watch movies?  Have a baking frenzy like my household?  Engage in a boardgame marathon?  Please do tell because as we all know here in Okinawa, even if we’re not in lockdown mode, there’s bound to be a rainy day or week comin’ soon.
