Aloha Lucy and thanks for your kind words...no such luck as 34...I was just pulling your leg...but I'm not telling...it's just wrong. LOL
We are tired, but very pleased with our little house in Hawai'i...it's so nice to have half the area to clean! Mom and I did a little bread baking today, 'cause dang! Those bread prices are not a good thing. I wonder how much humidity plays a part in the rising of the dough...Mom used to own her own bakery and we had a little trouble with the baking process. Anyone with tips...whazzup?!
We are still trying to acclimate to the time change...guess our inner-clocks are more stubborn than I thought. But the coqui are right on time...4:59pm today...
We went into Pahoa town to get Tony and Mom haircuts at Jan's...that was so fun. Mom said it reminds her of Steel Magnolias...I said "yeah, but Hawai'ian style!"
Tony and I rented a couple of movies from Pahoa Video which has a surprisingly large selection.
We went to Cost-U-Less today and really for me, I was not impressed with the prices...I think we can do better at Wal-Mart (sorry, I hate 'em too, but can't deny their prices) and Safeway (when you shop the sales with your card).
I am very impressed with Chuy - he's doing so well. We have been walking in the mornings together and Chuy didn't freak at the major doggage on our journeys...he just kept eyes forward and his pace quick. We saw a group of hens walking down the easement of Puni Mauka...he didn't even flintch...just kept on with our walkabout. He is fascinated by my neighbors cats as they keep their distance and go into a staring kinda trance thing. He's really never been exposed to them aside from the ones he's chased a couple of yards distance in Arizona. Now, Chuy is only 6 pounds or so and very cute...but thinks he is a big guy and is all boy (Except of course at night when the crook of mine or Tony's leg is his nest.)
That's the update for now. Not into too much activity just yet...but will definitely check out Makuu for our veggies, etc. on Sunday. Need to connect with Da Banana Boys and get some bananas at a reasonable price...cracks me up so expensive on this island...oh well.
Mom and I are gonna do baking and some canning, etc. Anything we can do to lighten the financial load! Many Mahalos to my neighbors...cyber and otherwise!
