Busy Tuesday

Good morning!  I have a very busy Tuesday – meetings throughout the day and our good friend Linda is flying in today from Seattle to spend a few months with us.  The puppies are going to be so happy to see her (especially me, because now I won’t have to walk them every morning!). :-)  …

Labor Day

It’s Labor Day … a national holiday to do absolutely nothing!  I’m going to try and play some squash this morning if I can walk our puppies early enough.  Then I’m probably going to spend the rest of the day doing odd chores around our house, and maybe even give the dogs a bath.  And …

Last night we all went to Nick’s condo for what I thought was a housewarming get together … SURPRISE!!  It turned out to be a surprise birthday dinner for me!  How thoughtful of them!  Nick’s place is really nice – a real bachelor’s pad – with sweeping views of the Honolulu city skyline.  We spent …

Big golf match today!
