It's no shock that rainy season is here. But, it's also brought some cooler temperatures, which is awesome. Yesterday felt like a fall day! Sunny, windy and cool. Granted, the "cool" was a balmy 73 degrees. I was joking with Travis that it seems sad that we find 73 to be cool.
A winter weather watch is in effect for Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island for those summits because of the chance of heavy snow, strong winds, lightning and bitterly cold winds. There is a flash flood advisory for the entire state. Whew!
Yesterday we celebrated Veteran's day. I very thankful for all of the Veterans: past, present and future. I am honored that my husband has chosen to serve.
I'm finalizing the Christmas shopping. I have a few things to get for my nieces and nephew, but I have the kidlets done and gifts wrapped! Last Christmas, we didn't have the money for any gifts and I'm thankful that we are in a place where we aren't struggling for the everyday things anymore. It seems so silly and trite, but you often take those things for granted. The price of goods is slightly higher here. For example, a gallon of milk is approximately $9.00. Yikes!
I'm counting the days until I get to see my family! And I'm hoping that there is some snow while I'm there.
Thanksgiving is coming and we will spending it with our "military" family. It's wonderful to have great friends and good times when I feel so homesick!
A big mahalo to those who read my blog!
