Christmas

By looking around the stores Im getting the feeling that the holidays are approaching.  Im going to celebrate with my family in early December but its going to be weird not being together for Christmas Eve.  It is one of the draw backs of living a long ways from your family. So I ordered a lighted palm tree Christmas tree!  And I LEARNED that shipping to Hawaii is expensive.  Just think about it........no ground transportation!  So I just ordered it so I could have this unique tree.  I would probably had to pay for delivery if we bought it here so I just decided to have it shipped at my expense.  With just two of us, we will not have presents under the tree so this will work perfect.  It has to been narrow since we really dont have any space for a tree.  Forrest doesnt really care if we have a tree or not but I would miss it if we did not have a lite tree in the house.  I will bring back some of my decorations from Christmases past and hopefully I will make it through the holidays.

I also LEARNED my grandson is getting soooooo big.  Five months old already!  This photo really makes me smile!!

Im no longer mad that I did not see any turtles last time I snorkeled.  Yesterday I  saw two turtles right off the bat! One was right at the shore eating algae off the rocks.  So if you are interested here is what I LEARNED about sea turtles click:  Hawaii's Green Sea Turtle facts!

Yesterday, I LEARNED that Forrest really does not  like snorkeling very much.  He always complains about the mask not fitting, cramping, etc.  so we will see.  I had to buy him new equipment since he broke his last mask.  If he doesn't join me, at least I have anyother set for anyone else that might want to snorkel with me that doesnt have the equipment.

Thats what I LEARNED..............
