Kayleen's Birthday

Yes, I will admit it now. I took Kayleen away for her birthday, and the airfares to Honolulu were cheaper than to Utah, or North Caraolina, or Florida, or Just about anywhere.

We stayed at the Marriott on Waikiki Beach. Someone got ahold of my credit card information, so I had to stop that card while I was here. We were on the 26th floor of the hotel, with a view of Diamond Head.

We looked around a bit, learned to ride the bus, and to hang out in the party scene. I will add a movie when I have a better connection, to show you what I mean.

It was a long weekend, but we fit a lot into it. It will be nice to be home again.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things.

"When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel, so bad."
(Apologies to Julie Andrews-Sound of Music)

This has been a tuff week, due to my responsibilities of being Bishop. Since the hard parts are things I cannot talk about, I will try to focus on the good things in my life. I'm sure that some of these pictures have shown up before, but they bring a smile to my face !!!

SO === >>>
I like my family--

Including my wife, best friend and eternal companion---
My children, along with their spouses and children.

I like vacations, especially with my grandchildren--

I like sunsets over the ocean

and the waves crashing the rocky shores.

I like spending time with my grandchildren -

I like family dinners - food is good almost any time (my wasteline shows that) (Spelling was intentional)

And I really, really love watching my children become the great parents that they are!!
