The One and Only....

-
Sometimes, I sit and think and wonder.....
Somewhere in this huge, God-made world, there must be someone like me ....
- A 12 year old girl who has 2 awesome siblings and great parents.
- Who has a weird hobby of playing 'the pickup truck game' with her younger brother. The pickup truck game is where you and another player has to yell out the brand and make/model of any pickup truck that passes you on the road .Whoever (thinks) they got the most correct, wins!
- Who is assisting in the opening of a store and eatery
- Who likes to blast worship music while running the till in that store
- Who is writing a fantasy book
- Who loves the kitchen and mixing flavours
- Who is crazy, weird and proud of it
- Who loves and trusts God to always provide
But then, when I really think about it, I realize......theres no one else. I'm a one and only. The one and only, Paige Jacey Dietrich.


Thanks for bearing that extreme attempt at something slightly poetic.
On a less...gramatic....note, today was our first day officially opened at the Shoots Alive San Pedro store! Even though we only had a few customers,it sounds like tomorrow will he much busier.
Organic, hot pepper display in the store.🌶️

Fresh green juices at the store! Mmmmmm...

A new Shoots Alive addition - Shoots Trail Mix.
A combination of local pumpkin seeds, granola bar chunks, cacao nibs, peanuts, dried fruit and coconut.....double mmmmmm....

I have no idea what she's staring at......🤣

Beach Bums....

This is Belize - shove all 1000 lbs of cargo in the back of a rusty pick up truck and do it in one load. Oh yeah, man!

Delicious, Belizean made chocolate truffles 

Trying to go as eco friendly as possible....hence the Aardvark Paper Straws.

Lychee - our Belizean 'grapes'

Sapodilla fruit - somewhat like a mix between a papaya, a sweet potato and cinnamon. Very tasty!

A Departure and a Be Back Soon

So since you last heard, Tyler has departed from yet another great visit and we were sad to see him go. We made lots of great memories in his 2 weeks here, though. *Snokeling (photos in my last post) *A couple trips (or 3 or 6!) to Secret Beach to have fun in the water and get a nice sun burn. *Biking and carting around town *Making coconut lentil curry with him (yes, we consider that a memory!) Lets just say Grady is a whole memory in herself Nighttime swim at Secret Beach with TyTy Possibly another Secret Beach trip.... San Pedro from a crack in cement Beach Feet Saturday, in honour of TyTy we had to go to Secret Beach AND eat a whole 18lb watermelon in one sitting. Just for him. Grady is not enjoying that slice of waterme at all, is she?!!! 'Someones' decided it would be fun to stick all their seeds on my arms. I think they counted 105 total seeds.  Grady rocking the 1 hour bike ride to Secret Beach. Last Sunda...

Well....seems like a little while since I last posted. I guess it's about time to post again! So, since you last heard, our cement pad did get poured but....well, I'll just leave it at that. On March 25th we took a trip out to San Pedro, one of Belize's islands (cayes). We had an offer a month and a bit ago to rent a small space there and set up a Shoots Alive store front there, so we decided to check it out for the 3rd time. We spent a few hours chatting with the land lord and walking around the space, then we of coarse had to stop for some ice cream, because it was Grady's birthday and because it is impossible to walk past an ice cream shop and not go in. We splashed in the sea a bit and before we knew it, we were on the last boat of the day heading back to the mainland.  So, after talking, taking trips and praying, we have just recently come to the conclusion that we will be going ahead with the store front! Mom, Grady, Keaton and I will be living out there ...
