The Home Front...
Hamakua shoreline a very clear and peaceful Hilo Bay
Its been exciting and tumultuous here for the last few days at the store, should things continue the way they are going I will be alternating between giddy laughter and a growing dismay that I have no clue how things are going to go for the holidays. Do I stock up, or keep just trying to sell down the inventory. All of a sudden customers are comming out of the wood work and we will have a good month after all, and may make up for some of the loss that we will take going to Ohio next month. All in all feel much better about the store. I cant hardly believe it, it must be your prayers!
Our eager beaver wanna bee real estate agent ran a sales contract over yesterday for the house wanting to know when he could take pics and put it on the Internet. Duh! Did you listen to anything that we said to you? You dont list a home here unless you have another place ready to go to. Period. Also we need to sell the business first which wont be ready for sale until after the holidays...He knew this... And to top it off, he listed it for 10K less than we discussed. I tore the contract up and told Woody no deal. He heartily agreed, and called the guy. Suddenly the list of possible buyers for the store are now all looking in Kona... Cool, I dont care and Im glad in a way...
We are going very excited about the prospects of the school and all. I cant wait for a chance to do something different and break out of my routine.
Not much in the news other than local politics as we had our "primary "elections last saturday. Its little wonder that people dont vote as there are very few races to vote and most positions here are appointed... sort of like the jobs you apply for.
I bought a new digi camera that was memory card capable and tried it out today. Insted of the veiw finder it has a little screen... What a pain in the butt that is. In bright light you cant tell what you are doing to compose a shot. I will be loading a few of those on the blog but for the most part I hated the thing and am taking it back to Walmart. Anyone have a sugestions regarding cameras that they like?
Sorry to be so wooden with my writing but I only got two hours sleep last night and feel really bad. Leg Cramps and feeling jittery. My allergies are really flaring up too lots of coughing and itchy skin. It hasnt been raining and then both last night and tonight we have had deluginal rains pounding the house and stiring up all sorts of stuff... smells a bit off and I feel ill. Never thought that I d feel this way in Hawaii.
Its the first day of Fall. I had planted a lovely Liquid Amber tree in front of my house in Bellflower and the neighbores would exclaim at the redgold beauty every year. I miss the changing seasons here and "coolness" winter cold. That really surprises people but I do...
