Moby - Creighton

At the house I'm staying at there is a cat named MOBY. He is snugly and playful.
Moby likes to snuggle. One time Moby came and snuggled me when I was reading. He sometimes snuggles me when I'm eating. Moby is really snugly.

Moby is playful too. We some how got strings for Christmas. The strings really came in handy. Moby plays tug-of-war with us when he isn't sleeping.

Drua - Jay

Today at the Fiji Museum, we learned about many things, including these awesome and massive boats once used to battle and transport goods.

The "Drua" is a double-hulled sailing boat that was found in the Fijian Islands here in years past. These vessels could carry over 200 people. They were owned by wealthy aristocrats and used as War Canoes.

These were fast boats with huge oars that required multiple men to manipulate. Their sails were large and triangle in shape to catch fast winds.

Their hulls were identical on both ends, as to not require a front or back when changing directions in the wind.

In the middle of the boat is a structure where the they could carry their cargo and protect the Chief from weather.

These boats as well as other artifacts have helped us learn about the history of Fiji.

Homemade Pies - Karen

On Christmas day, Terri and I made pumpkin pie and apple pie from scratch.  And I mean from scratch.  We boiled the pumpkin and grounded the nutmeg seed and rolled out the flour and butter pastry.  (well, we did add condensed milk from a can for pumpkin pie…but the carmel sauce for the top of the apple pie was even boiled from scratch.)  It was great.  Not only the taste, but the time with Terri was a treat in itself. I forgot to take a picture prior to the first round of consumption, but it was even better the second day…
