The boy tried to ride the dog today. He thinks we need a bigger dog. I think I miss my smaller boy.

Family craft time
Wendall is working on a diorama for school. We thought it might be best to help as much as we could.

So hard to get a picture of her from the side! Her walks are the only times she isn't trying to gaze directly into my eyes.

Chocolate
The secret to making really good brownies is adding good chocolate. A full Milka bar and five itty bitty Kinder bars made it into tonight's batch.

Sunrise on the next 20 years
Wendall and I have been together for 20 years now. Amazing to think that a friendship could grow into so much more.

Just let me finish this chapter...
75 pages later he put the book aside.
Wendall is listening to the audiobook while reading the book. He picked a book he knows well, "Peter and the Starcatchers". The next book he reads in this manner will be one he's never read or heard.

Lovely burst of sunshine
We've had nothing but storm clouds for the past few days. It was such a joy to see that they had left this beauty alone.

Things to be happy about today
The tree fell the right way. It used to stand right outside the boy's
window.

Dinner tonight
Cream of Wheat with butter and raw sugar. Just the thing for a
blustery night.
We are in the middle if a cold snap. The reports say it will be in the
mid sixties tonight. What a nice way to welcome November!

Surfer Boy
When Wendall saw this photo, he said it looked as if I had two photos, one of a perfect sunset, and one of him, and I put the two together. I told him that sometimes the pictures of him really are this good all on their own.

Lunch!
Some saimin for the boy. You probably know it as ramen. He skipped the
noodles and went straight for the broth.

Evening stroll
After dinner at Cholos we sat on the sand at Haleiwa Beach. Just what
we needed this evening.

Morning commute
We made it in last night, after 21 hours of travel. We are exhausted
and oh so happy to be home after so long.
My husband met me at the airport, my kitties met me at the door of my
house. Life is very good.

Getting the car ready to ship
Well that's it, then. Our final duty before hopping a flight west. The
car has been cleaned and processed and is oficially someone else's
responsability until the end of July.
I was able to find a Chevy Impala to drive up to Dulles for our flight
on Saturday. The radio has an input jack for my iPhone, so we are
looking forward to the 200 mile drive. I have the radio production of
"The Return of the Jedi" queued up and ready to go.
Wendall will pick the girls up tomorrow, so I will walk into a house
filled with kitties. They left on Tuesday and are spending a few days
in a kennel until things are set up at the house.
Time to go pack the bags once again.

A life filled with Aloha
It is time for us to return home. Time to feel the sun on our skin and smell the ginger in the air. It is time for us to stop wishing we were there and just be there.
On Thursday, Boy Wendall and I will head to Oahu. Elder Wendall has been there for two weeks, getting everything ready for us. In a truly spectacular fashion he has found a car and a house, meaning that we will spend only one night in a hotel before we move into our new home. We won’t have furniture for the first month, but we will have our own roof, and plenty of space.
Our cats will spend a few days in a kennel so we can have everything ready for them at the house. We have not yet told them that they will be kenneled, but they are well aware that a trip is in the near future. The travel crates and suitcases are the closest things we have to furniture at the moment, so they are impossible to ignore.
Virginia has been a lovely place to call home this past year. We are so grateful for the chance to explore the East Coast and to visit so many people. If we did not get the chance to see you this year, we are sorry, and we invite you to visit us in Hawaii. We do not plan on coming back to the Mainland for at least a year, and our guest room fills up fast, so start planning your trips soon! I can already tell you that July 2009, Holiday 2009-2010, and July 2010 are booked.
See you on the beach!

Chocolate supply
This is proof that chocolate is my ultimate weakness.
I am organizing my pantry, and figured I would show the amount of chocolate I currently have on hand.
It isn't usually this bad. Some of this is to be packaged and sent to a few friends. Some. The Lindt and three of the Milka bars are for the boy, and the Kisses are for the candy dish and for school lunches. Still--I had no idea that I had this much chocolate in the house!
