New Year’s Eve and midnight
2023 is here. We did a small dinner/BBQ last night with Justin and fam over, and of course Peaches and fam here for the holidays. We took photos of the family and the kids of course.

Lou and I felt like eating somewhere for breakfast and having some eggs benedict. We went to Denny’s in Kapolei but it was super crowded, so we went on to Ruby Tuesday.
Lunch with Lou’s cousins
Lou’s first cousins Mary Salas Chaco and Beda Coke came to visit their brother Larry (Encho) who lives here with his daughter. Mary came from Washington, Beda from Texas. The two of them stayed with us. We went to lunch at Jade Dynasty at Ala Moana Mall to meet Encho and his daughter.

“I’ve been down with throat issues for the last two weeks. Which means my “man voice” has been activated! Lower range singing while it lasts 🎉
To continue the trend of me singing/listening to songs about going home, here’s a short portion of my favorite island song. Enjoy. Ku’u Home O Kahalu’u.”
