Haouli Maka Hiki Ho Ruth!

-> 
-> ->  HN> ahhhhh....miss the tradewinds!!
-> 
-> -> So do we, went back to L&L yesterday and had the healthy plate--bbq
-> -> chicken for Steve but garlic shrimp for me. It was atop a nice tossed
-> -> salad and had a side of brown rice. Steve ate one of the rices, 
brought
-> -> the other one home. We split a custard malasada. I suspect we'll go 
over
-> -> there at least once more before we leave the area. Eddie Flores has a
-> -> cook book out now; we got a copy but I've not really looked thru it 
yet.
-> 
->  HN> I had a friend offer me a bunch of Lomi lomi
->  HN> the other day...but it was far too much and
->  HN> I know Anne would not eat any of it!
->  HN> So, I politely declined...sigh.
-> 
-> It wouldn't have lasted long here, especially last week when Deborah &
-> her family were here. No way you could have cooked it and frozen some,
-> is there?
-> 
No...and it's too late now. 

-> ->  HN> She did not get the job, and I can
-> ->  HN> overqualified I think they were
-> 
-> -> Sigh! Maybe something better is awaiting.
-> 
->  HN> Hoping! She's making a bunch of applications
-> 
-> Steve will be doing so soon, after he gets his resume put together.
-> There's some information in NC he needs to get before it can be
-> finalized but other information is being added, bit by bit.
->
He'll do fine I'm sure! 
 
-> ->  HN> encourage Amanda to take the first
-> ->  HN> really good job offer too!
-> 
-> -> Sounds logical, with her qualifications. After all, chef of your own
-> -> restaurant beats flipping burgers for a franchise, if you know what I
-> -> mean.
-> 
->  HN> True, but she wants time to work on the
->  HN> several publications she has in the works
->  HN> and this job would have given her that
->  HN> freedom at least. Ah well...it is what it is.
-> 
-> Yes, and we deal with it the best we can. Having raised her, you want
-> the best for her but the ultimate decisions are hers.
-> 
Yep..and to tell you the truth I would 
not want it any other way! I have friends 
who have "boomerang" kids...what a headache
they are having!! 40 year old kids wanting to
do nothing but sit around the house and sponge
off Mom and dad!

-> -> -> So she really can't leave them hanging.
-> 
-> ->  HN> She could but she won't, she's simply
-> ->  HN> not wired that way (grin).
-> 
-> -> Her good raising is showing.
-> 
->  HN> I know...dang it!
-> 
-> (G)
-> 
She'll be "free" as of Thursday I think..but
I'm also thinking she's going to "volunteer"
some time back in her old office for a week
or so.

-> ->  HN> When the rent's due the rent's due.
-> 
-> -> I know but there's a lot to be said about working a job you like vs 
one
-> -> you hold just to pay the bills.
-> 
->  HN> You're talking to the guy who did that for
->  HN> 26 years...
-> 
-> So in your retirement you're working your dream job with the Mariners?
-> 
Yes...it's a LOT of fun..but 26 years of 
having a sucky job is still 26 years of 
drudgy sucky work.

-> ->  HN> It's an honor to meet any Medal of
-> ->  HN> Honor recipient.
-> 
-> -> Very true, I'm not sure if I've ever met any. Met a number of Purple
-> -> Heart winners at a couple of dinners in Wake Forest.
-> 
->  HN> There are tons of PH folks...my dad had
->  HN> two. MOH is a class all by itself..and
->  HN> most of the winners have the medals
->  HN> awarded posthumously.
-> 
-> I know, I've read about some of them. Still, the PH winners (older men,
-> special recognition dinners in Wake Forest) I met were worthy of
-> respect.
->
Oh they are worthy of respect as is any
veteran...but what I'm saying is there are
1000's of PH winners for every MOH. And to 
tell you the truth I would not want to win
either one!!
 
-> ->  HN> Ahh, I did not know about the other
-> ->  HN> kidlets!! Now you have a whole crop
-> ->  HN> of em!!
-> 
-> -> Six, so far. Two are full blooded Native American, one is half N/A.
-> -> Deborah brough tamales she'd made and one night made Navajo fry bread
-> -> tacos or supper.
-> 
->  HN> Used to love fry bread...not
->  HN> so much now ...for obvious reasons!
-> 
-> I was good and only had one.
->
I was even better and had none! (grin)
 
-> ->  HN> Hope you and Reverend Stephen enjoy
-> ->  HN> the nice weather out west!
-> 
-> -> We are, beats the snow back east. Talked to my dad last night; he
said
-> -> they had 7-8" on the ground. We're also enjoying the wide open
vistas.
-> 
->  HN> Enjoy the interlude...and perhaps you'll find a
->  HN> church you like!
-> 
-> Hope so, went to a church today we've visited before (about 18 months
-> ago) and the pastor remembered us. He wants a copy of Steve's resume
-> when it's done.
->
That's a good sign!
chat with you soon!
