Last night, after our wonderful Family Tea, I decided that I had to go to Kona for Fanny’s memorial service this Saturday. I found out about it earlier in the week. This photo was used on the Order of Service. I took that as a sign. Fanny, Sam and the AuHoy ohana are a part of my life that need to be honored.
Leaving tomorrow, Friday, morning. Arrive Kona after 9PM. The service is from 4 to 7 on Saturday. Plane leaves Kona at 11:55PM Saturday. And I should be back home in time for dinner on Sunday evening. Or not. Kona is stunningly expensive at this time of year. So, Fly in. Fly out.
Fanny and Sam. I think these are great-grands.
Sam made my wonderful Lauhala papale. So, it will go to Kona. (That’s a straw hat to the non-Hawaiian part of the world.) Sam died about the same time Carlton did.
Carlton and Fanny are up to no good. Carlton loved that woman. She did not take any shit from him. She recognized a snake oil salesman when she saw one.
Kumu finishes the lei haku.
So. Don’t expect much from me for a while.
Gratitude
Grateful that I can even attempt 9,635 miles in less than 3 days. We’ll see if I make it and live to blog about it.
