Bye-bye, coconut
We had a huge coconut in our backyard that was diseased and we knew needed to come down to keep it from being blown on the house…and I also worried about the kids in the back yard. It came down this week, sad to see it go but I know it was the right thing.
“The Tongans are coming tomorrow,” Jeff said the night before and sure enough, three of the nicest guys came and made short work of the tree, and trimmed the rest of our coconuts as well. They refused to let me pay them, saying Jeff gives them work at the hotel and they are happy to do something for him. So awesome.
Same day Jeff also got a huge bag of frozen fish from one of his guys who was up in Alaska on a fishing trip. Love being married to a man who people like to do nice things for. :)

Zoey time, Kids love their Amazon Echos + American Ninja Warrior
Little girl date with my sweetie this morning
Kids are loving the Amazon Echos we got them as a little end-of-first-grade present. Makes for a loud house with dueling music though…
We have a little papaya tree doing very well in the garden…
My brother’s birthday and I got to talk with him this morning…they’re up in West Creek…
American Ninja Warrior has started again. We had such fun watching that show last summer…
Happy Saturday!

Turtles and sharks + mending, composting, laundry (aka the objectively magical and the subjectively magical)
Glorious beach day with turtles right there with us for literally hours…and Zo was so great snorkeling with me (inside the reef only in water shallow enough to kneel in…there was a shark incident about 1/2 a mile away yesterday but police at the beach said inside the reef is fine)…
Kohola Brewery with the family with a beer for Jeff root beers for the kids and kombucha for me…nice to go out and about together…
Got a mending kit from Amazon and worked my way through my pile of mending yay…
Composting per my mom’s instructions with a blender…it’s working great…
Clean sheet night tonight, and a day off to look forward to tomorrow…
Happy Sunday and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
