That is a new take on things. Good job! I got started a little earlier today. Stop by my place if you get a chance. Have a wwonderful day!
ReplyDeleteGood list and great big Aloha to Sarah and Christopher.
ReplyDeleteFun TT! Many years ago I went to Hawaii and I remember eatting at a Mcdonalds and you here how on the garbage can it has THANK YOU on the flap. Well in Hawaii it said MAHALO. That's how I learned that word. Happy TT
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Wow, Hawaii! How exciting for them. I'm sure you're going to miss them though...good luck to them!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW :)
I knew more of these than I expected to.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, and I hope the move goes well. Pop by The Cafe if you'd like for my 40th TT.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Hawaiian word is "keiki" (babies/kids). I never knew it until visiting there with my niece and nephew. A bunch of those words are used on Aloha Airlines--it's like a little language lesson in the air. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd hate it if my sister moved to Hawaii without me. I would miss her terribly. My s-i-l would like to move there, but I told him he'd have to go without me. I can't leave my sis, either.
ReplyDeleteMahalo for all the comments!
