My Parents Visit

My Parents joined us for Courtney's Confirmation. They came 3 Apr and left on the 15th. During their visit we packed a ton of activities into a short period of time. We covered the main attractions: Waikiki, North Shore, Arizona, Punchbowl Cemetery, and a luau. We also moved fr

from our old rundown house to a brand new house. The highlight of the trip was a course courtney's confirmation where she became an adult in the Catholic Church.

Finally a new post

There has been a whirlwind of activity in the Steele house during the last half of March and all of April. In March my grandfather passed away and I flew home for his funeral. Although a funeral is a sad occastion, for someone who lived such a long life, it is also a celebration of his life.

I was very impressed with how well my 92 yr old grandmother was doing. she really seemed to like having all the company. I know she missed Red but she realized that he was in a better place. I enjoyed seeing the family even met a couple of 1st cousins from Alaska that I had never met. We even had time for family game of poker that lasted until 2 am.

Less than a week after I returned, my parents arrived for a great visit. I will post a longer Blog on thier visit and our move to the new house ASAP.

The Bx had 24 oz bottles of Sam Adams on sale for $.99 each. So Dad and I bought a case and loaded them all on the Jake. Not only did I get a great deal on beer, I also saved gas.
