Cousin Comes to Town


My cousin Gilbert was in town for a couple of weeks to visit his daughters and grandchildren. He caught a nasty cold so he didn't get in touch with us until the last week of his vacation. His daughter Christine lives on the Kohala mountain and works in the little town of Hawi which is about an hours drive from Kailua. We drove out there on Saturday and picked him up. He spend the night with us. We shared stories of our last 40 or so years until the wee hours over bowling ally saimin. Sunday we went to chuch in the outdoor tent since our church was badly damage in the earthquake over a year ago and is still being repaired. We went to the Royal Kona Resort for lunch then drove back to Hawi to take him back to Christines. There were two horses waiting for him when we got to the drive way of her place. Really enjoyed our visit. Had hoped to see Gordon also but he was on Maui for the weekend with his dance gang.
