Hafa Adai - Welcome!
Phil and I have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn about a new culture and area of the world. We are so greatful for this gift and are looking forward to all the new adventures that lay ahead. I have started this blog to help document our experiences and explorations during out time on Guam. My goal is to make a weekly update to help us stay in touch with our family and friends and to share some of our thoughts and experiences that we encounter along the way.

"Bee" My Valentine

Dana, Jamie, Jill, Melda, Tracy
Last week the ladies of the "Buzz Club" (Civil Engineer Corps Spouses) met at Melanie Lynch's house to bake and decorate about 15 dozen "Bee" cookies to be delivered to a very special group of people visiting here on Guam.

You see, we have 175 deployed Seabees from Gulf Port Mississippi NMCB 11 (You can read more about them here.) They are here for a 6 month deployment and working very hard to help improve life on the island. We know how hard it is to be away from home especially for holidays and we wanted to show them how much we appreciate them.

Our Littlest Ladies helped too!
Melanie had heard that the White House Pastry Chef had made some very special cookies for Christmas. Among them were "Bee" cookies. She sent him a note to explain about the special connection to the bee's and asked for the recipe. He graciously replied with a Christmas Card, handwritten message and the recipe.

We had a lot of fun decorating these special cookies and will deliver them to our Seabees with love.


Happy Valentines Day!
