Rain Rain Go Away Where Ever You Are

Wet, Wet & Wetter! October 25th

Today is wet. Usually it does rain here, but it just kind of mists. But today is definately more then a mist. It is the big day! Today is the party for Grandma Tusi's big 80th birthday. We decorated the cultural hall at the Waialua building yesterday. We went to Pearl City to watch Jarret play soccer in the rain. I stayed in the car. I just don't have that black thick hair that looks the same whether it is dry or wet like everybody else. I was trying to preserve my hair. It was a waste of my time. It rained for the entire day. It never had a chance. Atina spent the day helping Laai'. I spent the day with the kids watching t.v. and playing nintendo games at the condo. Finally, it was time for the party. We dressed up and went dancing. The food was amazing. Laai'did an awesome job with the food and entertainment. She is Hawaiian Kumu(teacher) for her own hula performing group. She chants, plays the ukelele, sings & dances amazingly. Atina was the MC for the party. He did great. The grandkids from each family performed in between dancing numbers. Cookie sang first, then Taela, and cousin Pena danced with some of her friends for us, and Rhita performed tahitian dancing. Taela sang a cute song she learned in chior, Jeremiah was a Bullfrog. She did a good job! Atina and I were her stage dancers. If I say so myself, we've got some moves (well not really). Then we danced the night away. Taela and Myali couldn't get enough of the great band that was playing. We had food, entertainment, dancing and made new friends. What could be better then that? Okay, Grandma dancing tahitian with Rhita was pretty good. Who new she could shake it like that?
