It was my sweetie's 
birthday yesterday. It was Furlough Friday for him & he was not complaining. No need work on your birthday. How fun. He started the day at the archery range with the boys & came home in time to bid Harriet, Jim & Keiki alohas as they were being picked up by a shuttle to the airport for their new home in Las Vegas. Alisa & Nysa took him to lunch at McDonald's in Mauka. He then played golf with Dean Sawaguchi (& won) then met up with the rest of us for dinner at Waimalu Chop Suey. We have great memories of Waimalu--a favorite place in years gone by. Good food, reasonably priced. It was always there that there was a 'taste the mustard/shoyu' challenge. Someone would fall for it--maybe they were trying to humor him. Clarissa, Ashley & Lindsey had to work. We made plates for the wives & the Greigs took home the rest. Nysa had to wear her bridesmaid's outfit from Savers & show the veil & bouquet her mommy had made. It is a very nice dress & fits her perfectly. Kwyn had her Rainbow brite 'leggings' (actually Ayva's socks with the toes cut off).

After the meal we all drove over to Life Touch where Clarissa works & they had a Haunted House for employees & friends. That was fun. Cliff will run the camera at tonight's service so we won't be able to gather with the kiddies in their costumes until after church. Maybe they can come over for cake.
We're playing with our new G1 phones. It was our birthday gift to each other. It's amazing to be able to read/send your e-mails, check out facebook, listen to music away from the computer. I'm busy trying to get all my contacts into my gmail account from Yahoo. He ordered us covers from ebay--mine is zebra print again.
Is there such a thing as having a blessed Halloween? I remember dressing up as a bunny, an indian girl, a clown when I was young. It was so fun & the candy was the best part. Mom made the kids costumes growing up--which turned into pajamas the next day--she was always practical. Evil was only 'allowed/tolerated' for one night (it seemed) & every thing went back to normal--in my safe little world. Today, evil is being celebrated the year around & innocent children don't know the difference. I dislike Halloween but understand a child's excitement to dress up/be someone else & enjoy the candy. Anyway, Have a Blessed Halloween!
