This is me (Jeana) and my son Kevin. We've been living in Japan since the summer of 2000. We live in Miharu-machi, Japan, in Fukushima Prefecture, where for the first seven years we lived in an International Exchange House/American style Bed and Breakfast called the Rice Lake House. Rice Lake, WI (my home town) and Miharu were Sister Cities. Since April of 2007, I work in Koriyama at Y's Preschool and Kindergarten. Jeana is originally from Rice Lake, WI. Kevin was born in Washington, DC. So you might catch some photos of our friends and family back home as well. Enjoy! By the way, if you are looking for RLIFA or MIFA exchange photos, there are a LOT more (about 6000 more on my site) but they are tagged as private. If you are sincerely interested you are welcome to contact me for the password to the remainder of the files. If you want to know more about us, you can also check out our web site http://members.tripod.com/gna2000/miharudiary/index.html or check out YouTube for user gna2000 for videos from Japan. Also, all the pictures here are the property of Jeana Schieffer unless otherwise mentioned, and may not be used for any commercial purpose without explicit permission. Feel free to order prints of snapshots for your own personal use. http://gna2000.smugmug.com/Other/Mommy-and-Me-Jeana-and-Kevin/Xmas2006More076/120923612_hETVj-Ti.jpg http://gna2000.smugmug.com/popular/ 2009-11-24T10:33:51Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
