Yup. I'm home. I miss Hilo but coming home is always good no matter where home is. It also means I have full-time access to my computer, and can give y'all hell here on JWD again!
Did ya miss me?
Believe it or not, I missed y'all!
I also see many newbies. To all you Newbies - Welcome. Siddown, take a load off. Check in and let us get to know you. Dump if you have too. You are Welcome!!!
So, we come back from 5 weeks in Hawaii with the usual: Rubbah Slippahs (flip flops) hawaiian print fabric, a couple hawaiian shirts, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, canned mac nuts, guava jelly, and other hawaiianna. A kitten, AND..... a mortgage. I'll post pictures later when I find my card reader.
We had a great time. We know Hilo-town pretty well now, after doing 5 weeks of house hunting. I got car-sick a few times trying to read the map and give Kevan driving directions.
I have a bit of a tan.... on my right "window" arm. Some on my face, and some on my left arm, and I have a slippah tan. Where the flip-flop straps were across my feet. The rest of me is still beluga whale white.
The cats were very happy to see us, until they met....... HIM.... that kitten we brought home. There getting used to the idea. Sort of. His name is Tane (pronounced Tah-nay) the Tahitian spelling for one of the Polynesian gods. In Hawaii it's spelled Kane. The spelling differences are due to which missionary did the translation of the Polynesian language into writing.
Tane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In Polynesian mythology (specifically: New Zealand), Tane is the god of trees and light, and the first son of Rangi and Papa. As a young boy, he was hunted by Atea. Escaping to Earth, Tane became very hungry and ate a man, becoming the first cannibal. He later killed Atea with lightning bolts, given to him by his ancestor, Fatu-tiri. He created the dawn, as well as the Tui, a bird that was a staple food of the Polynesians.
With Hina, he was the father of Hine-nui-te-Po, whom he later married, not knowing who she was. Upon discovering that she had married her father, Hine-nui-te-Po fled to the underworld, and began ruling there as queen.
Tane's eternal enemy is Whiro. Tane created Tiki, the first man.
