After church yesterday, we joined friends of my parents from their days in Cleveland. We went to lunch at the golf course club house I went to a couple of months ago. We had a buffet. It was delicious! My co-worker Andrea was there. She took a picture of my and my parents and sent it to me. It is a nice picture:
Full and happy.
After lunch, we went to the Maui Plantation, which is sort of a garden display area since it was so close by. The plants were cool. I got some fish food to feed the pond fish. While we were feeding them, there was a bird that kept trying to eat the fish. My searches suggest that this bird is called a Black-Crowned Night Heron. It was not successful in its fishing. I couldn’t decide if I was happy for the fish or sad for the bird.
Something was wrong with its wing.
After a nap, we went to the Duck and Dog Irish pub in Kihei for St. Patrick’s Day. It was fun. It was loud and happy and there was good food. While I was sitting at the bar, a guy came up and bought me a beer. Then he insisted we have a shot together. It was Jagermeister. I don’t think I’ve actually ever had a shot of that before. It didn’t make me sick. I was glad. Later in the evening, the guy stopped by with his wife and said ‘hi’ to me and my parents. Such friendly people. Such a happy St. Patrick’s Day. 🙂
Lots of green.
1. Truly a terrific memory photo there – nicely done, Andrea!
2. You had more Irish yesterday in Hawaii than I had here. I’d be jealous, if ’tweren’t agin me religion…
3. Watch out for all those “friendly” people, Brad. I was actually relieved to hear the guy had a wife……..(some day I’ll share the story of how Thurman nearly got picked up by a member of the band at a senior prom. Suffice it to say the band member was not the girl singer…)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all! That sounds like a jam-packed day of fun, except for the bird. Poor little birdie. 🙁
It’s so funny seeing people in green clothes and flip flops instead of green sweatshirts and fleece jackets, like I saw yesterday.
Enjoy today!
Erin Go Braugh! I love the picture of you and your parents. Have you been able to introduce your parents to any random chickens?
HAHA! You crack me up! Miss you!
Or any chickens that you’ve gotten to know.
There were some chickens at the Maui Plantation. I didn’t get a good picture, otherwise I would have posted it.
That is a GREAT picture!!
1. Do the friends from Cleveland live there or were they visiting too?
2. Was the beer green?
3. I’ve never done a shot.
4. I feel bad for the bird, what with his broken wing & all. Could you have boughten him a little fish or a little mahi mahi somewhere?
5. Why can’t we type on a new line or double space for a new paragraph anymore?
Have a great day today! Thou thast is on vacation!
1. One friend from Cleveland lives here and is the mother of one of my co-workers.
2. Having green food coloring added to your drink was optional. I was having Rolling Rock, which is already in a green bottle, so I skipped the food coloring.
3. I thought I was done with them. This was quite a surprise.
4. I think that bird was hanging around that fish pond because he had been successful in the past. He’s probably ok.
5. I don’t know. I’ve tried to turn off all the auto-format stuff in the website software, but some of it seems to be automatic. I don’t much care for auto format. Maybe I’ll change the look of things again…
AWESOME picture…. BOY!! Do I Love Those Three People, Bunches & Gobs!!! I’m glad you are all having such a terrific time!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
