Aloha Bread Lovers
Aloha Bread Lovers – This Sunday Uncle Yosef will be making his appearance for breakfast. Uncle Yosef is of course a flat bread filled with 3 different cheeses, spinach and an egg. We crack the egg on it when you order it and bake the whole thing in the oven. It is served with a splash of olive oil, and some chopped green onion. Best to eat it like a slice of pizza. As for music, we apologize for not delivering last week however this Sunday our beloved Uke Jammers will be back now that the kingpin, Gordon Duarte has returned from a brief sojourn on the mainland.
Some of you have been asking about my parents Ed and Gail (96 and 88 yrs. old) and their transition to life on the Big Island. Ed has been doing surprisingly well and has demonstrated that he can be responsible with a walker and in spite of some minor falls (or as he says “not a fall, I merely slid to the floor, nothing serious..no big deal”). Gail on the other hand has seen better days. Coming from LA to Hawaii has not been so smooth. One of the key sticking points that I did not account for was her hair. In LA she had her hair salon but since moving here a year and a half ago she has not had a haircut. There is very nice woman at the Regency Hualalai who cuts hair for the residents, however after looking around the dining room my mother decided that it won’t work for her. This week she finally broke down and asked her caregiver – who used to be a hair stylist – to take a couple inches off the back. According to my father he heard a yell and then my mother loudly repeating “UNBELIEVABLE! UNBELIEVEABLE!!” as apparently the well-intentioned caregiver took a little too much off from the wrong place and was stopped midway into the coiffure. That night the caregiver called to inform me that she is done working for my parents. Meanwhile, my mother looks a bit lopsided with half of a haircut while my father keeps reassuring her that it will grow back. I of course suggested that she reconsider having the nice woman at the Regency even her out.
