Sedulous

 Finally!  We took the bikes for a late afternoon ride.  Gorgeous (and the bugs cannot catch us!).  Our bikes here seem soooo delux after the pawn shop bikes we used while on the boat.  

Paul's pile of tools for digging the electrical ditch.

The ditch has taken a few turns due to boulders underground.

Meanwhile I unpacked the crib.  Last used 18 years ago for Maddy, it was in a sealed box with enough tape to stop my scissors but not the mice.  The crib thankfully is in perfect shape, the baby blanket I had tucked in the box, not so much.  

I also found the pad for the changing table and crib sheets and blankets.  We are all set for our little visitor!  (Yes we are excited!)

July 5, 2016:  Maddy at The Franklin Park Zoo in Boston.  One of my all time favorite photos.  What is that baby gorilla thinking?

July 5, 2019:  Paul and Kevin aboard The USS Constitution in Boston.  Sailors must have been a lot shorter!

National Hawaii Day.

We stopped at Beach Bums Bar and Grill in Maui to escape the sudden downpour.  The fish tacos were beyond yummy and with the staff super friendly - a favorite memory. 

Our ATV ride in Oahu where Jurassic Park was filmed.  This is our "clean" picture before we drove through lots of muddy fields.

Pet Remembrance Day.

Megan with Buddy at dinner time. After being injured and having a torn esophageal nerve and losing peristalsis, Buddy ate and drank on a table to assist with food and water getting to his stomach.  Megan's put her snack bowl next to his to share.

Word of the day - sedulous.  Meaning accomplished with careful perseverance.
