Tour Guide for a Morning

My aunty and cousin from Japan were in town this past week. It was my first time meeting my cousin and the last time I met my aunty, I was probably no more than 6 or 7 years old. On Sunday, we went to Haleiwa for an early breakfast at Kono's then drove to Waimea Bay and back down Mokuleia to the point. We took them to a beach I used to frequent a lot as a youngster. I was hoping that there would be some sea turtles on the sand for them to see but there were none. It was a rainy, cloudy, rough-water, salty-air kind of day, still really gorgeous. I really like Mokuleia and wouldn't mind living out there someday!









Mumble Jumble

I just realized that I recently started doing this: If I ask someone a question and they respond with an incomprehensible mumble under their breath, I make up my own response for them and hope that's what they said. But in the past week, I struck out twice and my made-up answer was wrong. Oops! I act apologetic but it's really not my fault. And of course you know that these mumblers are all of the male species! Men need to learn how to un-mumble their mouths and speak clearly!

Busy ants






Can you spot the lizard?


We almost adopted this lost bird. We couldn't find the mother bird anywhere. And the nearest tree was about 4 stories high so we had no idea where it came from. But I had to say no to bringing the bird home, I don't think we could handle another pet right now.

So CJ built a little shelter for the bird. I hope it made it through the rainy night.

Suitman









For the finished product/wall, come check it out for yourself. Although I don't think Suitman was able to put up as many images as he wished. The Russian Church folks were bitching..
