Report from South Kona

After a long hot week of work , we found some beds finally . We found one on Thursday for Ute and I on Craigs list . Rushed down in the morning and got one , they go quick if you don’t get there . We had to load it up and leave it at one of the houses I work at so it didn’t have to ride around on the truck all day . It was a llloonnng day , we worked all day and then hit the big food store and loaded up at the end of the day . Then went back loaded up the bed again and off to home . Where we unloaded the bed again and hauled it into the house , we had been sleeping on a air mattress so long . Oh it was almost to comfortable to be on a real bed again . LOL It is pretty nice from a vacation house so it wasn’t used much and came with a bunch of sheet and pillows too , all almost new . Friday the kids had no school , due to the new furlough of the teachers to save money . Its a little crazy but they are not having school for 17 Fridays to save money on the teachers pay . Republican Governor has screwed up the state once again . Just a ploy to cause trouble to the teachers union . Anyway Ute stayed home with Kaylee and Chris and Kyle came to work . Ute found another bed and we called at the end of the day for that one . When we called back for directions to the house they didn’t answer so we thought we had missed it . After stopping at the book store for Kyle , he wanted a book that was his pay for working , and a couple of other stops we were just headed home when they called just before we left town . Hurray we got another one for Chris , another good one , we lucked out big on used beds . Now we just need a set of bunk beds so Kyle can have one and a extra for sleep overs and guests . Kyle hasn’t come down much but I hope he will .

Saturday the whole crew , Ute , Kaylee , Chris and myself all set out on a moving garage sale mission . Looking for a desk or table for Chris’s computer and also any furniture or other good stuff . We scored two boxes of really cool dishes , lots of plates and bowels and a plethora of coffee cups . Chris got a house intercom system , yikes , lots of buzzing the first day LOL . A set of small book shelves , but no chairs or anything , our offers must have been too low . hahahaha After shopping we stopped for lunch at Bale a Vietnamese French spot , they have a great crispy noodles dish and that Pho soup that is so good . It comes full of rice noodles and chicken . Then you add fresh bean sprouts and basil plus a little bit of fresh hot peppers . Yum . Then went for a little shopping for some clothes and shoes , a little this and that . Loaded up we hauled out booty home and kicked back sending the dishes thru the washer and getting buzzed with the intercom system . As evening set in we hauled down for a little swim with Dewey and then home for dinner and a little Movie watching .

We did have a little scare at lunch , a large bit of crispy noodles , almost had Ute . Looking over Kaylee had a wide eyed look and turning my head left next to me . Ute could not talk , some expanding noodles had got lodged in her throat . She couldn’t talk a sign of choking , just before I jumped up for a little Heimlich they slipped back out . Neatly into a napkin phew that was close . watch those crispy noodles .

Hanging out now having coffee in some of the new cups with the neat blue flower and leaf vine wrapping around . Ute got a new drip coffee maker since that was the kind she liked , but we may have spoiled it for her with all the espresso , oops LOL

Rubbing Ute’s toes on Sunday Morning , Stay Cool Steve
