Oh my, twice in one day???

the list

The idea is you're supposed to bold the things that you have done (I also changed the color to blue...so those aren't links to anything...) There are lots of things I haven't done.

Good morning!

Aloha everyone! Just adding a quick post today to catch up on the last couple weeks here. Had some ohana from up north & to the east of us come down for a visit. Mahalo Dave & Daph ( #4 bruddah & sis-in-law...) & their sons, Paul & Adam came to stay for the weekend. Paul finished his Army basic training here in Georgia (Ft. Benning...) & we proudly went to go see his "Turning Blue"/ graduation ceremony (which was AWESOME!) & Bruddah (#1) John came too. (I hope to post some pics soon...I know, & you should too, how terrible I am with posting pictures here...) Even though it was a short visit, we LOVED having family here & hope to see them all again soon. Actually Paul will be heading overseas soon, so I wish him all the best & he of course will always be in our thoughts & prayers! (I'M SO PROUD OF YOU PAUL!!!) It takes ALOT for anyone in today's world to join the military. I wish you all the success possible!

Anywho, just keeping it short today, got some other things to catch up on & hope to post more tomorrow...

a hui hou,
Tina
