Welcome to 2020 ! I hope you survived the year end in 2019 ? We did just barely.
We spent a week in Oahu with Ivie doing whatever the weather permitted. And visited the Lava tube frequently. Derek and Ivie snorkeled . Ivie was scared she was going to touch something. And kill something and oddly enough the girl is afraid of a turtle !
We went to the Buddhist Temple , That was my only request . Well they knocked that out 1st thing day one. It was cool and then if you followed a road which you never would believe there were more mountains . But it takes you to the Valley of the temples Memorial Park . It might be the prettiest cemetery I’ve very seen .
It was a rainy day and on a drive to went . Derek took a nap on the beach . Ivie and I watch crabs fight. We are easily entertained. Went on to a Taco restaurant. Yes we ate Taco’s in Hawaii I had chicken and they were actually not bad for once. We watched fireworks from Magic Island, Climbed up to a lighthouse ( that was a chore) . So many Mai Tai’s , margaritas. Ivie found a pina colada made with ice cream. I do believe she liked it. She bought some awesome sunglasses afterwards. So that’s a bonus .
There was a lot of eating out and all I still want is something good. And I have yet to have it.
Everything that has followed and been eh. Just food. Nothing to right home about. Derek has been home. I’m sure in 15 years we have not spent this much time together or it’s been ages. He’s decided to cook a bit. Which is fine with me. I don’t have to hear he doesn’t like it. Or that’s not what he wanted. I just get to clean it up.
So, in a couple of weeks we have Korean students joining up. I need to find some new bedding for one room. Mainly cause the bed spread in one room gets sun everyday. I do believe it has faded it. And I’m not crazy about it anyway. Time for a change.
Derek is on his kick to sell the house and move to Dove Creek again. So almost 3 years ago. We set out to build a house. I talked to 12 builders everyone of them. Oh, I’d love to build you a house. Never heard from them again. And finally, Derek came to his conclusion to buy a house in town. Now he has decided the house is to big, we don’t need that much space cause it’s just me. But I can still have a pool. And somewhere in his little head he’s just going to pay cash for it. We shall see about it.
A very kind gentleman at work has given me the name of a builder and time will tell.
Well this blog was long overdue sorry for the absence. I keep writing starting them and not finishing them. Or I write them and never publish them. Honestly I would love to do a picture blog. But I have a good friend who did one . And apparently that was more work in the end.
May we all have an Adventurous, Exciting 2020
Until Next Time
Infinite X’s and O’s
It's a Sweet Life
