HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Aloha! Two years ago today Jackie and I were barbequing steaks and watching a tv special on Don Ho's memorial service with my mom and two of my sisters. Wow what a wonderful memory! I really want to thank my sisters Tommie and Ruby for making that great memory possible. My mother is no longer with us as she past away this past January but today I feel she just might be visiting the islands again...maybe with Don as her guide. Bet he can show her all the places she used to dream about! Jackie and I have had a busy start to our week. Maybe I should clarify that to be a busy start for us, because when I look on Facebook and see what all you guys are up to it really makes me appreciate the slow laid back lifestyle Jackie and I have found on Kauai. Anyway, back to our busy start. On Monday we took Cory's car in to JB's auto repair. His car had been running a little rich and using a lot of gas so John replaced the oxygen sensors. Wow what a difference it made! We had some things to buy while we were in town but not enough to justify waiting on John to get the car finished so we drove back home and waited for him to call. Good thing we decided not to wait as it was after 5 when he called and said it was done. Today has been more normal for us as we went snorkeling. The conditions are real nice now with lots of sunshine. We saw our normal assortment of fish and I shot some video of the orangespine unicorn. We also saw a large honu. He was resting under a ledge and would open his eyes just enough to make sure we weren't a threat then close them again! I think tomorrow or the next day will be a lawnmowing day for Jackie and I. Guess we can't complain if we have to work 1 day every couple of weeks!

That is a good memory isn't it? I am so happy that Mom got to come over there to visit you guys and see the Island...she had dreamed about it for many years.
