Another Blog Hiatus

I've had several friends and family ask if I was taking another blog hiatus. Oh gosh!

I totally forgot that I hadn't written how I had to step back from my blog again for a short while. It's been a crazy 2 months with the VERY taxing, aggravating, stressful bathroom renovation for my 95 year old mom and then our 2 week trip to see our daughter, son and their families in Illinois. Keola and family are only in the U.S. once a year because of their jobs overseas. 

Therefore this was a very important, eagerly anticipated trip for us. It was a time for us all to finally, finally all be together again even if it could only be for one and a half week.

One thing I LOVED seeing was the bonding of the cousins. 17 year old KC has never been one to babysit little children. As an only child, she's not super comfortable with little kids.

However, once our grandsons discovered that she seemed to know a LOT about the Minecraft video game (that she played when she was much younger), they considered her their hero, their video game guru. RK would often want to hold her hand when we were out walking and they both relied on her for computer help.

And we were proud of KC's gentle affection and patience for her young cousins who loved being in her company.

However, we returned to Hawaii to find mom's worsening memory difficulties and fixing up a few more problems with the bathroom/house renovation which we are taking care of ourselves.

Anyway... life is full of things we have to deal with and we are dealing with it.

I miss talking to you all, but will be back soon. Until then, I just wanted to send my love to you all.
