Thank you!  For all of you who prayed, donated, encouraged, cooked, showed up at the airport, wrote on Facebook walls, sent emails, lent us stuff [...]]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1304 1 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1301 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1301#comments Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:37:28 +0000 Steve http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1301 We’re crazily packing up our things.  Still have a bit more shopping to do, and we still need to take Shepherd’s Red Couch Picture.  We need the space the computer takes up and don’t need the distraction it offers.  I have a couple of days of blogging to catch up on, including Sophie eating jellyfish.

We had to wait around the hotel room while our guide went to the consulate for us.  The appointment was at 9.  [...]]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1294 3 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1258 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1258#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:57:36 +0000 Steve http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1258 We like animals in the Hollis house, or as Sophie calls them, ‘aminals’. So, today when we went to the zoo and aquarium, we were all really excited. After entering the aquarium we went down an escalator that went under the big tank. There were a lot of exhibit tanks, and in the big tank [...]]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1258 1 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1256 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1256#comments Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:14:46 +0000 Steve http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1256 You can order it here]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1256 0 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1209 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1209#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:55:11 +0000 Steve http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1209 So, this morning it was raining…a lot.  We didn’t have anything planned.  Katie and Shepherd were stir crazy and Sophie and I weren’t feeling great so we split up again.  Katie and Shepherd ended up going to a church service here on the island.  Sophie and I stayed in the hotel room and crashed.  After [...]]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1209 3 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1207 http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1207#comments Sun, 15 Aug 2010 05:52:46 +0000 Steve http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?p=1207 Full Disclosure: Michael Kelley is a friend of mine.  We go to church together and I have sat under his Sunday School teaching. Holy Vocabulary is a book you need to read.  As the subtitle says, Michael sets out to “[Rescue] the language of faith”.

This morning Sophie and I went out for an early morning walk to the 7-11.  She has been trying so hard to get along with Shepherd and do the right thing.  [...]]]> http://infinityandjellydonuts.com/?feed=rss2&p=1138 10
