Art worked on hooking up her digital converter for her TV. Unfortunately, the signal is weak so her reception is pixelated. I don't know if that's what you call it. I suspect that when the conversion happens there's going to be a lot of unhappy people who will find that the reception might not be great with just an antennae on an old TV. It won't be just snow, the picture will break up. I don't think enough people are really prepared for the problems that could happen.
We enjoyed spending time with Mrs. H and having KC go wild on her rocking chair. KC was also very interested in Mrs. H's dog, Annie.
After a shopping trip at Trader Joes, I was able to spend precious time with my dear teacher friends. We meet once a month at our favorite round table at Ruby Tuesdays. I even got to give a small box of Hawaiian chocolates to our favorite waitress there. We have been like family to each other during our teaching careers and after. Each time we meet, we tell another story from the chapters of our lives.
Tomorrow will be another busy day. I'm storing memories for our return to Hawaii.
Everyone looks so happy! :) That's nice.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of Art to help Mrs. H with her TV. Too bad about her poor reception, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are having the time of your life!
It seems like you've had such a marvelous trip and I'm so happy for you! You'll take home many wonderful memories, I know.
ReplyDeleteGood onya, Kay and Art! Such a mitsvah to help H like that.
ReplyDeleteShe must have been thrilled to see you all again. Did she cry?
Thanks for being there.
I'm wondering what problems the digital conversion will bring, too. It'll be interesting, at least! I meant to comment earlier: Your grand daughter's first name is just beautiful. (I think you used it a couple of posts ago.)
ReplyDeleteWow, you're certainly making the most of your visit! It's a shame about the digital conversion not going so smoothly after all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such happy photos, they always make me smile!
What a treat for the waitress...not only to see you again but the Hawaiian chocolate...mmmm! You certainly use every minute and accomplish a lot. Good for ou, Kay!
ReplyDeleteDina: Mrs. H was glad to be able to have the ability to e-mail and look at our blogs again.
ReplyDeleteJean: Thank you for telling me that I put KC's name on the post by mistake. Her parents asked me not to write her name but I must have been tired and forgot. It's a Hawaiian name.
Mare: The great thing about Agnes (the waitress) is she gives us all separate checks which really helps a TON.
Lisa, Gigi and Sylvia: We are really trying to cram in all that we need to in a short time. I feel badly that we can't see everybody that asked.
ReplyDeleteKay;
ReplyDeleteGosh so nice to see all the happy faces...hope you know that the smiles are all because of you and Art!
The Westie reminds me of my macky, buddy or bonnie...I can take me choice!
I am just amazed at all you and Art have been able to do in your visit time! What wonderful friends you have and you to them as well, to be able to "pick up where you left off" so to speak. You all must have such a deep bond. Its been great to share your trip, your family (and yes, I too love KC's name!)and all your good times as you visit. It looks as if KC was helping Art with the t.v. tinkering!
ReplyDeletewell, you've made a new fun place to visit by moving away. how you can come home and vacation. looks like a great time with old friends and family. lots of memories to cherish.
ReplyDeleteKay I love to hear stories about your friendships with your teacher friends. It is just wonderful - teachers are truly Gods angels on earth.
