Woke up at 5:30 and got ourselves over to the Open Market. That's Hawaii's term for Farmer's Market. The produce always seems fresher than what we see at the supermarket.
Came home and Art worked on the doors again. He has put up the folding doors for the linen closet and we worked all afternoon yesterday to get the guest bathroom door up. It's still a work in progress. So he tweaked it some more. (We've got about 12 doors that need to be put up.)
We made a special stop at Costco to get gas. It cost around $3.37 everywhere else on the island but was $2.66 at Costco and well worth the trip. I don't know when I saw gas under $3.00. WOW!
We still decided to do all our errands in one trip to Honolulu to conserve gas.
It's another voggy day. We could not even see the Koolau mountain range that is usually crystal clear. The sun was barely able to break through. That volcanic smoke from the Big Island is no fun at all.
We made a quick stop to drop off some lettuce we got for our sister-in-law, Nancy at their apartment. I know she must think I'm crazy when I told her I was blogging this.
And off we were again. We went to Tripler Army Hospital where I dropped off my hemocult slides (you know, poop slides?) and some of my blood. Why they painted a military hospital pink, I have no idea.
Then to the post office. I hope you all know the benefits of the FLAT RATE box. That is a wonderful thing, especially in the islands.
The next stop was lunch with Art's cousins at Gyotaku restaurant in Honolulu. Reminded us of Japan again. Yummm...
Our afternoon had a bright moment when we talked to our daughter and granddaughter on web cam. She's talking now. She says, "Bappa" for Grandpa. But "Um huh" for me. Hmmm... Who, me? Jealous? Nah... I'm still the one she wants to sing Eeensy Weensy Spider.
And the day's not over yet.
Wow Kay you were running all day long! Art did a fab job on those doors and love the market, although a tad early for me!
ReplyDeletelooks like you are going full steam on projects...my littlest grandson who is two calls me bamma and grandpa is the same name bamma. Have to work on the G sounds...fun though.
ReplyDeleteThat was a busy day and all that work to be done on your house..But aren't web cams great!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, you have had a busy day and a fruitful one it would seem. Your granddaughter is beautiful! Hope tomorrow is just as full and pleasant as today!
ReplyDeleteWow what a busy day you had. That hospital sure is pink - you wouldnt miss it anyway. I also like the doors - they are very good. And your grand daughter isnt she adorable and isnt it great that you can talk on the webcame and keep an eye on how she is growing too! I hope the rest of you rday was a little quieter and you go to relax and enjoy your vegetables!
ReplyDeleteOwh your back! HAhha...I think I'm really behind. Its been a while =) Btw, we have open markets here to in Malaysia! We call it the Pasar Pagi (Day Market) or the Pasar Malam (Night Market). Stuff there it cheap too.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy day !
ReplyDeleteI love days that have so many different adventures to them; busyness makes the world go round. Yours was so full.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your commentary and frankness! It is always such fun to visit you and share your adventures. You're a gem!!
ReplyDeleteI love days like this, when I can accomplish a ton of errands in one fell swoop. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay! You had a busy day. It's a wonder there aren't longer lines at Costco. We're lucky here. Our gas is down to $2.37.
ReplyDeleteArt is doing a good job with the doors. Hopefully the other doors will be up soon. Lisa
And I thought *I* had a busy productive day...I got tired just reading about your day! The closets are really looking good! I love the pic of Tif and JC. About Triplers color...there are so many myths as to why it's pink...recently there was an article about it. http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/04/20/news/story09.html
ReplyDeleteAnd yes...you are a CRAZY lady... that's part of why we LOVE YOU so much!!!
Didn't you tell me you were retired?
ReplyDeleteWhew! Sit down and relax!
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is adorable.
Love it that you take us through a busy normal day with you.
ReplyDeleteMan, that's a wide road!
But I felt a little kvetch in my heart suddenly coming upon Tiff and daughter. Lovely soft picture, across the miles...
What a busy day but sounds like lots accomplished. The doors look very nice. What a sweet photo of your daughter and grandbaby. How wonderful for the web cam.
