Nana's Update . . . April

The months have flown by. A crunched new semester schedule, Erin and Avery visiting, zooming to PA for Kylee's first weeks and visiting Jenny and Aaron, Jenny and Kylee's visit to Hawaii for Karen's wedding, niece Kayla and friends here for 5 days, Basketball tournament time, SIFE team's big victory, Dad's big birthday, and now, finally, t i m e to look ahead. It was all so fun--the school part less fun due to the crunching into 13.5 weeks instead of 15, but, it is thankfully done for now and we can revamp and move ahead.

That will be my spring, or some of it, anyway. Some travel is coming up, and definitely reorganizing my office and school things.

Megan has moved from SLC and has joined Jenny's and Erin's families in PA, though Wil is still waiting for final clearance to join them, too. May 2 is the target day to reunite the little family. They have webcam and daily chatting time and cell phones to stay in touch. We live in an amazing age! A quick visit to DC this weekend for a sealing is their way to celebrate Easter break.

Enjoyed the Concert Choir performance this evening. A great way to end our semester and celebrate our Easter. Little boys will come by in the morning for an indoor Easter Egg Hunt, ala Papa-Bunny style. :D He always has the funnest places to hide them! We'll also go to Lowe's for a new kitchen faucet...that's needed for the new counter tops and sink we finally get to have installed. We've waited for 5 years, so it is something we hope to enjoy a long time. I think some SIFE preps are also in store for us, and a quick stop at Windward Mall. My, we'll be out and about!

The winter was fast and furious, but we've been mostly healthy, always a great blessing to say that. The Hawaii balmy weather has been "on vacation" for over 4 months now, so those of us in the islands are ready for it and the sun to return any time soon! I haven't seen a blue ocean in weeks. GRAY still. Let's see...maybe if we buy rain gutters the skies will dry up! That's our luck with such things. Life is what happens when you make other plans. John Lennon beat me to coming up with that one.

Joyce Chan had a good quote on Facebook today: The storms rain down on us all even if you do build your house upon the rock.

Guess what--it's RAINING!!!!

I'll end this right here for now.
