Our dogs just returned from what we call the "selfwalk". The gate was cracked open and out they went, returning later with a pleased as punch look on their faces. They are happily lolling and rolling in the grass, nice and cool. They manage to retain enough sand in their short cropped fur to distribute enough sand in our home, requiring a daily sweep.
That's what I get for adding two, No! four sets of two legs,(that makes four, four year old kids, right?) They act more like four year old boys than the claim of dog experts that they only have the mentality of 18 mos.
A phone call from, Althea was a nice Sunday surprise. She is our very dearest friend who lived with us and shared her love and nurturing with Mom during her decline. I miss her caring nature. She has a special gift in her soul and devotion to our family. If a had a sister, she would be my choice. Her daughter, Tennille came for a weekend visit recently. Her new boyfriend, Fa'a is a sweetie. I hope she has a good life too. Don't we all wish that for our children?
That's all folks!

July 4, 2009/ Happy Holiday
One third of Summer is gone, or should I say we have two-thirds left! Our June was insane, with tons of company, lots of meetings, road show coming up, job hunting, finishing school and doggy events. That's the family collective assessment report.
We have jumped from Memorial Day to the Fourth of July. Last posted on May 22, our oldest son, Matt's 39th birthday. We are debating whether we will fly over the fireworks in Honolulu or just have a nice supper at Buzz's steak house on the beach in Kailua and fall onto our beach blanket to enjoy the "works" among the silky grains of sand and all of Kailua's finest citizens. Bite my tongue, but I am inclined to opt for the latter. I've lost my front seat co-pilot status now that Mike has his #1 flight companion.
Kent had a restful conference trip to Boise, Idaho, highlighted by a wild water raft excursion and a good, but short visit to see his sister in Salt Lake.
He was looking forward to returning home except for having to fall asleep with the TV on!
Of course, when the cat's away, the mice will play. Or when Dad's away, things break down. The guest suite TV gave up the ghost and though we had sound and a fuzzy picture, the sound went out completely and our repair specialist said it was not worth fixing. So, Benj and I went to do some comparison shopping and found one at Sears. The plasmas are quite reasonable now. Home for four days and it croaked. Back it went and we came home with a 50' puppy.
I remember when 50' seemed large. I guess we are home movie candidates. These things are coming in giant size now. Do we watch too much TV?- not with the Church/BYU channel on almost all the time.
Highlights of July coming up are the Church Road Shows, Coast Guard picnic at Barber's Point,
Then we can hit the BX and Commissary. Maybe finalizing our timeshare at the Hilton, getting the new AC installed, and purchasing the new van. We'll be suffering from aftershock in August and licking our wounds!
Matt is taking four classes and buried in his condo, studying constantly and coming up for air to only bathe, eat and sleep. He's loving the challenge.
Our park is filled to the brim with holiday weekend campers. Last night we walked the dogs down the beach under a great full moon and low tide while they caught up to a crab catching troupe of kids. the woofs joined right in, but didn't quite know what to make of the scurrying crabs. They just felt the aire of excitement and loved to be around young people. On return we passed through the park and the EZ corner tent with colored strobe lights and young to old dancing to Michael Jackson's music. A co-worker queried Kent the day before as to how long he thought we'd be talking about MJ. Kent shot back, "have you heard of Elvis?"
Aloha,
Lani
