November 4th

Sunday and it's been pouring rain for 14 hours straight. Jay awoke to water dripping on his forehead from some problem with the roof. After crawling around in the attic we thought we'd solved the problem by placing a couple of towels and bucket in key areas but we found out later (after more rain) that we've got some leak. I don't know where to begin to solve that problem. Dad, Jay and G'ma had scheduled a dive and even in the rain, they went anyway (last time she dove with your guys it was an earthquake.) Sierra and I hung around and went grocery shopping because Matt & Becky Smart (dad's cousins) were coming over for dinner. We found poi at Costco so we decided to make Hawaiian food. Mid-day, Sierra and I went to see "Bee Movie" with Yui and it was just right for a rainy Sunday afternoon. You called and left a message while I was in the movie and then called to talk to dad. I hope you got a couple of those cool t-shirts.

We had a little trouble with the hillside dragging inches of mud down the hill and onto our sidewalk and yard. I worked to clear some of the mud to get some drainage and Misty walked in the mud and then all over the patio and even in the house. It was a mess and the rain kept coming. When Matt and Becky came over we had a nice dinner and chat. We had kalua pig, cabbage, rice, lomi salmon, pineapple and haupia. It was good. They wanted to see some of your pictures so we got the computer out to show them the latest. Jay had to sleep in your room because his ceiling was still leaking on his bed. I hope things dry out a bit so we can figure out how to fix the roof problem. G'ma leaves tomorrow. She's had a great trip. We'll miss her and WE MISS YOU!
