Looking back at Wailupe Community Park, formerly the elmentary school that Andrea attended.
The NOAA rain gage is in an eleveated clearing at the park.
The quarterly meeting was kicked off by April of the city emergency management organization.
Danny gave a briefing on the Aina Haina Prepared response to the flooding on Friday the thirteenth in May.
The show started with a solo performer on right handed upside down slack key guitar (played left handed). A very unusual, but good, sound.
The solo performer stayed on stage with Lucie and the Perfect Wave for the first number.
Lucie writes, sings, and plays. We liked the performance and bought her Alive CD on sale there.
Ready to eat! Grilled chicken and Manhattans.
Birthday cake with balloon and card. The number on the cake is 1000000, Andrea's age in binary.

After our swim we took a walk past the Dillingham Fountain below Diamond Head to find the apartment building we stayed in together
39 years ago. Andrea apartment sat for Mike Ross, a family friend, and I spent a week with her there.

Friday afternoon I went to the beach by myself while Andrea took Mom to the doctor for a routine visit. Kaiiwi the monk seal was back
sleeping on the beach in front of the Sans Souci Apartments.
