Birthday cake on Roatan

Friday the 29th of January was the birthday of Charie Bodden. Charie lives here on Roatan just down the road from us and she came to know Christ as her Savior two years ago and since then she and Sandi have had weekly Bible studies together. The day before Charie's birthday her daughter Mya came to our house to have Sandi help her make a birthday cake for her mom. Let's see how birthday cakes are made in the Bay Islands of Honduras.

Getting up on the wrong side of the computer

I'm sure you have had a morning or two where you "woke up on the wrong side of the bed." We all have those from time to time, whether you live in Roatan, the USA, or anywhere for that matter. Have you ever started off on the wrong side of the computer? I'm sure you have...I think we all have, unless of course you have a Mac. My office computer is not a Mac and it came very close to taking some swimming lessons.

Sandi came home

Sandi had an opportunity to attend a domestic abuse seminar in Phoenix thanks to the generosity of a friend. She was gone for just over a week and Saydee and I were glad to have her come home.

A trip to the grocery store

People sometimes ask us what we do for grocery shopping. We have three "big" grocery stores as well as many small neighborhood stores. I'd like to take you to one of the stores in the town of Coxen Hole. It's called Eldon's.

Tourists Invade Roatan

Every so often friends of ours take a cruise that stops here at Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras. Today was one of those days as seven of our friends came for a visit. Besides showing them the Radio HRGS facility, we ate some island food for lunch and then went snorkeling at West Bay Beach, right next to Tabayana Resort. We all had a great time...hey, maybe you should take a cruise aboard a Carnival, Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Lines ship. We'd love to see you.

The Adventures of Saydee The Wonder Dog

Saydee is an 11 month old German Shepherd who came to live with us last May. She loves going to the beach and playing in the shallow water. We're going to talk a walk along the narrow beach in front of our house. It certainly isn't West Bay Beach or Half Moon Bay Beach, but it is close to our house. Come and join us.

Saturday Night Pizza

If you like pizza why don't you come with me? Jerry and Mildred Petersen, our co-workers, have invited me over for pizza. We'll have a good time and the food will be great.

Sandi's Kitchen

I am truly a blessed man. Not only is my wife a good cook, but I love her food. She keeps our home well stocked with all sorts of delightful food. If you come for a visit I might even share some of it with you. You better call before you come though...that will give me time to hide the best stuff.

Tuesday Morning at Radio HRGS

Monday through Thursday mornings here on Roatan I am the early morning announcer at Radio HRGS. I guess you could call it Morning Drive Time, although not every one here in the Bay Islands drives to work. I thought I'd give you a little peak into my morning here on the island.

What Station Is On Your Presets?

Right here on the Island of Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras, Radio HRGS is the most listened to of the seven radio stations on our island. After living on Roatan for over ten years we have gotten to know a lot of people. It doesn't matter where we go on this island it seems that we always come across someone who listens to Radio HRGS. Mark Elwin is a good friend of ours. Anytime our car has some troubles we go right to Mark's shop. Mark is also a faithful listener to Radio HRGS, but don't take my word for it, listen to what Mark has to say.

Do You Like Squash?

When I was a kid living in Minnesota I never did like eating squash. However since moving to Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras my appetite for squash has exploded. Sandi and I stay very busy at Radio HRGS, however to take a break we head over to West Bay to the home of our friend TJ Lynch. TJ has introduced us to the GAME of squash and we really enjoy it. Besides getting a lot of exercise, TJ and I are accountability partners and enjoy a lot of good fellowship after we play.

Church on Sunday varies from Sunday to Sunday because each Sunday we are in a different church. Every fourth Sunday of the month we attend a small church in Pensacola (not that Pensacola) that is without a pastor. We thought you'd like to see what a typical service is like.
