Fave Toy

Big Lamb Chop, or what's left of her, has been Kai's favorite toy for the longest time.  But she just got displaced.  By a ball.

Robert, the dad of Kiki, Kona and Maya introduced us to it.  He brought it to the park earlier this week and Kai just hogged it.  

I ordered it from Amazon, and it arrived in 2 days.  I took it to the park yesterday.  Mahina hogged it.  It came in a three pack so Mahina got to keep the pink one. 

It's this one if you want to try it out.  I bought the small breed one 'cause that's the one Robert had.

Ceramics Class

Over the past few weeks I made five of these.  I'm thinking for sashimi or gyoza or anything that needs a dipping sauce.  Good idea, right!?

They're about 6 inches in diameter which is our limit for size allowed.  We all share the kiln space.  For free.  So it's only fair.

The session is almost pau already.  Tuesday was our last day to build.  Next week is a holiday.  The following week we glaze.  And the week after we pick up/potluck.

Cleta's Rice Flour Dumpling

 This sure looks good, but unfortunately is beyond my culinary realm.

Costco Chili

This chili was so good that after a few bites Landon said, "Why is it that nobody ever told us about this?"

So I'm telling you.  Go try!  It came in a 4-pound tub in the refrigerated section.  In Hawaii Kai it was by the rotisserie chicken.

Kai and Friends

Early morning at the dog park with Maya and Kiki.  Maya's owner Robert adopted Maya when her previous owner suddenly passed away and she was left at the day care that Kiki attended.

Oweees

Wendell had a total knee replacement earlier this week.  His surgeon was Dr. Paul Norio Morton who used some kind of robotic thing to do the surgery.  Wendell is recovering nicely, and he even drove a short distance yesterday.

This is my owee.  I slammed my thumb in my car door while rushing.  I need this thumb to make pinch pots in ceramics class.  Old people shouldn't rush.
