Life is Good in Kona


Dear All-

Len and I have been having some great times that last couple of weeks. Valentine's Day was the best. As we were leaving for the movie Len mentioned that he wanted to get something for me. Just knowing he was thinking about it and his speech was clear made my day. You see, Len and I had our first real date on Valentine's Day 22 years ago. After dinner that night we sat in Len's car with the rain hitting the roof and talked about us and how we felt. It was a surreal night and one I will never forget and every year since that day we have celebrated this special time together. This year was especially poignant. It was a celebration of life and how far we have come in just 8 short months; of how much I love this man and how proud I am of what he has accomplished and that he loves me. We celebrated with a movie and dinner at the Aloha Cafe.
The next weekend Len decided it was time to do some repairs around the house. He put on his work clothes and actually fixed the clog in our sink in the bathroom. It had been clogged since our arrival home. This was not just any fix. He had to take out the push-up stopper and the wheel underneath to get at the clog. That was the easy part. Then he had to put it all back. Have you ever tried to put back all of this stuff and tried to match up the stick to the wheel? By the way, any of you girls missing a very small gold hoop earring?
That night we were invited to celebrate Judi Nakamaru's BD at her son and daughter -in- law's house. They had build an outdoor Portuguese oven and we all made our own pizzas. It was a great evening and fun had by all.
Sunday we went to see "Big River" at the Aloha Theater. Great production.
So, as you can read, we are busy and really enjoying our friends here in Kona.
Len continues to progress in Rehab. We will leave for Cabo on March 4th and will meet up with our son Steve there to go over taxes and celebrate.

May this find you all well and happy,
Aloha, Len and Sue
