What It’s All About

I attended the January KonaWeb party at the old airport last night; visiting with some old frioends and some new ones. I took meat loaf. Note that I didn’t say that I MADE meat loaf, jus tthat I took it. A phoo of the assembled group was taken and posed on Konaweb.com. Look for the PARTY link at the bottom of the page.

My Safeway has remodeled and added more of a flair when it comes tothe store. The whole front portion looks like the upscale stores on the mainland. I just hope they don’t yupscale their prices to make up for the decorations. So far their house brand soda is still $1 a six pack.

I have been working alot on the new Kona Coffee Council’s website and helping to make it a great sit. Also I have been creating membership lists and mailings. I hope someone else takes over the webmaster part soon.

I am still fixing up the house in preparation of my Mom’s visit on Monday. I certainly won’t be ready, but at least part of the house will look nice. I painted the back bedroom where she will be, and made sure to do it days ago so the smell would be gone. I added some nice Hawaiian/island pictures on the wall and added a B&B touch; a basket with fresh towels and soaps on the bureau.

While Mom is here I think we will spend a lot of time eating out, mosttly because the kitchen is still a disaster (so to speak) and the carpenter I had hoped could fix it, finally told me “Call me in 3 months”. They are so busy building things here that 3 months may be a bit on the hopeful side.

I am painting the outside staircase to make it look better, although both staircases need to be removed and replaced. In fact, the one on the north side of the house may actuallt collapse while Mom is here. I hope to get the washing machine out from underneath before that happens. Those stairs were not taken care of before and the roof line does not extend over them, so they get water on them every time it rains and then the termites did some damage too. Oh if I had a carpenter…

I need to the post office todayto mail out a package and in between, I have to get the rest of the house cleaned, so it will be a couple full days.

Sometimes, when I working, my mind wanders a bit. Then all of a sudden a thought hits and I just have to write it down and pass it along.

I’m painting the steps and keeping track of which ones I need to not paint, so I can still get up into the house opn the one stairway that will not be collapsing anytime soon. My mind wanders to the picnic last night and the people who are visiting the island. I remember hoow I was when I first visited and how peaceful it was and rememberd why I decided to move here to live.

So I’m contemplating life and the wonder of it and what it is all about. Then it hits me, it really IS the Hokey Pokey! THAT is what it’s all about!
