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.

Tropical Beauties

One of the nice things about living in a tropical area is the abondance of beautiful flowers. Orchids can be seen all over the island and there is no shortage a places to buy them. Nice! Except I have never been able to grow an orchid.
I bought a few and the blooms lasted forever. They were beautiful. I didn't kill them but have yet to see them bloom again. I was beginning to think I would treat them as a throw away and just get new ones to enjoy but they are way to expensive to do that.
A few people have told me that "You baby them to much and get them outta those dang pots. Tie them to a tree and leave them be." So I did just that.


Look at my tree!! It's blooming pretty! I can now grow orchids like my mother in law can and the best part of all... I don't need to do a thing!
