Many years ago, my Dad was stationed at Schofield Barracks. I have fond memories of not only the island but the wonderful people of many cultures we had the pleasure to meet while living there.

You can imagine my delight to see that Sgt. Nichols of Jack Army and his wife Jill have started up a new blog, Hawaii with Jack and Jill Army.

I can’t wait for the next post. Hopefully it will contain wonderful photos just as the first did.

Give it a look…I know I will be checking in often.

The NYT has compiled their list of the “100 Notable Books of the Year”.

If you are a reader, it might be worth a look.
