Tons to Share

I have so much to share since my last post. Seems like it has been a whirlwind of activity. First of all, last Wednesday we had a very special visitor thanks to Lynn Cook. Raiatea Helm, Hawaii's Grammy winning vocalist, came by to sing a few songs for Peggy while strumming along on her ukulele. She has a voice of an angel and is the sweetest person. She brought with her some of Hawaiian Host's premium Christmas Medley chocolate macadamia nut gift boxes which include a CD sampler of 3 of Raitea's songs. She graciously autographed Elroy's gift box for him!

Speaking of Elroy, he is back to his healthy self again and busy as ever! Elroy's sister Wilma and the Yim side of the family has been in town visiting from California. You'll see a photo below of all of us from dinner the other night.

Friday was Indy's 5th birthday. I picked her up from school and brought her to Peggy's house. Everyone was hiding in Peggy's room and we opened the door and they all yelled, "Surprise"! She was speechless! I asked her later if she liked the surprise and she said "Oh yes! That was a good idea. But I was in shock!"

We had a great time eating cupcakes and opening presents. The big hit of the day was a large stuffed white tiger from Peggy. The kids went crazy for it! See photo below of the girls riding on it. Indy has named it "Tigey" and it sleeps with her every night. She also likes to put a leash on it and pull it around our wood floors with Sawyer riding on it.

Saturday, Rhea and I got up early to go to go do the Vi Jones Medusky MDA Adventure Trek and Run at Kualoa. It was so much fun and the t-shirts with Peggy's image of the Koolaus turned out so great. They gave one to Peggy that we plan to turn into a dress for her. We saw a few Peg's Legs there - Pat Lokatos, Melody Ball...it was a great way to start the day (but those hills were no fun to run!).

Saturday night we had a little birthday party for Indy and my dad (they share a birthday) at my mom's house. We did the "October Fest" menu from this months Martha Stewart magazine. The big hit were the home made pretzels. So good - especially with honey, mustard, and (sorry, Martha) Cheez Whiz!

On Sunday, Karen and I checked out the Silpada Jewelry sale at Bobbie and Margaret's place. It was fun and the great news is that Nancy from Silpada will be coming here to show the jewelry at our Spooktacular sale so you can all check it out. Bobbie and Margaret's house is so cute and it is a total Peggy Chun gallery! They have Peggy's stuff everywhere!

So back in the office today. Peggy just had her morning bath. Lisa noticed that Peggy's leg has a bedsore again, probably from her white boot brace. It is on Peggy's right ankle. It is a golf ball size lump, very hot to the touch, but not an open sore. Cathy will be by sometime today to take a look at it.

Karen is decorating for Halloween today and we will be spending this week getting ready for our Spooktacular Sunday! Enjoy these photos below - by the way, the last photo is of Indy in a "Snow Princess" cloak that my mom MADE her for her birthday! Isn't it awesome?!
