Yesterday we took my in-laws on a drive around the island. Pinwheels estimated a 4 hour tour, but with our quick monument stops, a picnic lunch, a stop at Talofofo Falls, and, of course, a dinner of ice cream at Cold Stone, it was more in the neighborhood of 8 hours. We had [...]
Some of you (I hope) have been wondering where I wandered off to. Sometimes, it’s hard to mesh my blog life with my regular life. One usually is quite a bit busier than the other.
This week we have company. My in-laws made it safely and we are enjoying their visit immensely. [...]
I can’t believe it’s almost time. My in-laws get here in three days. Three days! Seems like just yesterday I posted about having 3 weeks to prepare. We are getting very excited about getting to see them, as I’m sure they are.
I’m not sure my “to-do” list is getting any smaller. [...]
Yesterday I was able to access more specific information about my class that starts next week. I must admit I was a little nervous reading all about what is expected of me. My class is an online class which means, in my case, I do all my work online except for my final [...]
Months ago I painted my guest room and you waited. Months ago I promised to clean up my guest room and you waited. Well, wait no more! My guest room isn’t perfect, but it is coming along nicely and I wanted to share with you my progress and success. I still [...]
It’s not a typhoon, which is good. But, it will be a tropical storm, and it’s supposed to hit almost right on top of us. Right now, the forecast is for the storm to be 18 miles from the base. Pinwheels says that means winds no more than 50 knots an hour. [...]
Right before Christmas Pinwheels found out his Freight Terminal won an award. A big award. 715th Air Mobility Operations Group Freight Terminal of the Year for 2004! I believe, in English, that means his terminal is the best in the Pacific. Now, Pinwheels’ terminal will compete on the next level.
Today he [...]
This week I signed up for my first college class in 10 years. For those of you who were here for my initial declaration of going back to school, you may remember I planned to get my degree in computers. Well, I’ve already changed my mind and I haven’t even taken a class [...]
We got Flash’s first report card this week. My thoughts: for a preschooler? To me it’s just another reminder my kids are growing up. At this age there aren’t grades, just progress. 1) Not yet evident(N), 2) Sometimes evident(S), 3) Consistently displayed(CD). There are 11 categories such [...]
It’s official. There are no more babies in my house. This week we went to big boy underpants for Peanut and we’ve had 95% success. Some days were perfect, the other days almost perfect. I even think he’s almost ready for big boy pants during the night, which is a big [...]
Guess what? I finally finished one of the curtains for my guest room. With all the other stuff I do and the fact my sewing machine gave me fits, it took me awhile to get it all completed. But it’s done, and now, you get to see it. This picture is [...]
Last night we made paper chains to count down the arrival of Nanny and PopPop (my in-laws). They come in three weeks and I thought the kids would have fun getting ready for them to get here. After we finished both chains, I explained to the kids how they worked. We tear [...]
