2022
This is a bit of blast from the past….
But, what the heck…
Birthdays are about looking forward and about looking back.
As we look forward to Lucy entering her teens, Papa would like to take a quick look back to when she was just turning one in Halifax with her Mum, Gran, and Great Granny Violet.
Happy Birthday Lucy
Independence Day is a BIG DEAL here in Kailua.
It starts first thing in the morning with our Kailua 4th of July Parade and continues on until the wee hours of the evening with fireworks – some legal and some (most) illegal.
Nearly every politician in the state seems to find an excuse to participate in the parade. The Governor, both U.S. Senators, both members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Mayor of Honolulu, and many members of the state legislature participate. In years when there is an election, the turnout is even bigger. Quite the sight to see.
We have an airshow, thousands of beach goers, traffic jams and lots more. Best of all, we have food. Lots and lots of food.
This year Ella helped Papa BBQ some of the burgers and dogs. What a great day!
Thank you for your prayers.
