Family Time 05/25/2008
 

We picked up Dan's brother, Steve, and Steve's husband, Kevin, from LAX last night.  We are enjoying various low key activities today.  Farmer's market this morning.  Shopping for dinner and lunch food.  Watching a movie (the excellent film, Bobby).  Eating tamales and beans for lunch along with chips, guacamole and salsa.

Most folks are napping right now but after I finish up this blog-let, I'll be heading off to the gym to work of some of the tamale.

I'd hoped to be taking my Ipod with me, to watch the latest Meet The Press and This Week with George Stephanopolous.  But my two year old Ipod seems to be on its last legs.  It won't turn off and stay off.  The battery doesn't seem to be holding much of a charge either.  So my Ipod gets to stay home and nap with the rest of the clan.

Maybe a new Ipod in my future, before the cruise?

1. Loved the story of the hummingbird and the brother-look-alike. May the brave flyer find his freedom again.

2. Loved the poem too. Slightly different from the Laura styles I know, but still (dare I say it?) redolent with you. Loved the line "less desparate with foreknowledge."

3. Watching the morning grow across the ocean here at the Hawaii House. Dale is taking in one last morning on the lanai before his return to a remarkably busy June/July and the heat of Summer Phoenix. Kids are still sleeping. I have the house to myself this day and tomorrow morning.

4. Hope you and Steve and Kevin and Dan enjoy your visit before they wing their way here tomorrow.

5. Thanks again for the use of the House. Perhaps there is more than one Homely House, West of the Mountains, East of the Sea...

1. I echo your prayer for our little oil soaked buddy.
2. Glad you liked the poem. <gg>
3. Nothing like the view at Hale Honu, for my money. I'm so glad Dale and the kids got to enjoy the house AND you got to have some alone time there.
4. We did.
5. You are so welcome. Next time, together!
