A Little Xmas – Day 2

I always like looking at gingerbread construction projects.

Ten weeks ago today. That is when my world changed. Carlton would not like for me to say it changed for the worse. That would be negative thinking – and he did not allow negativity in his world. But, it sure did change.

This being Hawai’i – I got a call shortly after 6AM asking if I wanted to go out to coffee, a walk and breakfast. Sure! Eggs, rice and Spam. Good local-kine breakfast. At The Fish Hopper. See yesterday’s post.

This is a great video that attempts to explain the Hawaiian devotion of SPAM. Check it out. Carlton adored SPAM. But only in Hawai’i. And Spam musubi was his favorite SPAM concoction.

After my swim this morning, I was drying off and warming up – when along came a couple of guys. Middle aged. Wearing matching Aloha shirts. A large Hawaiian man showed up and married the two guys. I wish everyone could have seen how happy the two men were. How pleased they were that a damp old woman was the first person to congratulate  them on their marriage. I hope they are as happy as Carlton and I were.

Only in Kona. Big front page article about local high school students spending the day at a McDonald’s “career day” event. I couldn’t decide if a job at MickieD was a good thing or a threat – as in this is where you will be working if you don’t go to college.
