Angie's Visit-I couldn't wait and now it is over.

Angie came and went like a fleeting moment. She was here and gone again. We did make the most of the time she had here. It took me five days to recover after she left. It is a lot like our time here on earth. We probably looked forward to coming for eons and then we got here did our best and will be gone on to the next part of our journey before we know it and it will feel like a fleeting moment. Hmm! A little philosophy there.

Angie arrived on Thurs the 25th and off we went in search of Duke's to eat. We spent the rest of the day in Honolulu and then came around the east side so she could see the view while it was still
daylight.


                       

Friday morning we were up early and off for a walk on the beach. We met a new friend. His name is Wilson for short. I know he had one of those long Hawaiian names which I couldn't pronounce. He decided to tag along with us for the day and even stayed at the Marriott with us. I was worried he would have some other friends hanging out inside his mouth but he seemed not to have let anyone in.


Angie wanted to go visit some tide pools and I said we didn't have any. I had not seen a tide pool since I arrived. I guess I didn't go at the right time for the first morning we wandered through the rocks at Laie point and the tide was very low. We saw some interesting things in the tide pools that we didn't have.

    After we visited the beach we decided to go have lunch at the PCC and explore all that was going on there. In Samoa we met Sister Alophipo and Sister Clawson. They braided us a crown and we wove a fish out of leaves. The Settlement invited us in and we watched the Canoe pageant on their front porch. They always treat me so nice at the Settlement and everywhere we go at the PCC. I love these doors that lead to Island Buffet and Prime Dining. The whole building is magnificent. I feel like a queen when I enter
these doors.
Here is another place that make you feel like a queen. This is across from the Marriott and leads to the beach. It feels like a soft carpet and it was rolled out just for us.

The best place to go in Laie is the temple. Here you also feel like a queen and favored daughters of our Heavenly Father.    
                               .
We even look like Island princesses going to church on Sunday.

Tours of the island are always in order so that is what we did.



Beautiful view at one of the lookouts we stopped at.

A trip to Waimea falls was in order and of course I think I have seen every kind of flower on the island and then a different one pops up. Here goes-----
   

   

                                       

        

  


                 



            

This is one of the trucks that we ate at during Angie's visit. Not my favorite but was an OK meal.

As with all good visits and with the best of days there comes and end. I always hate the good times to end and some days are so beautiful you carry them in your mind always.
                   
                  And so I said goodbye to my beautiful daughter until we meet again.
                  I hope it will be soon but right now I have some work to finish right
                  here in Laie.
