Saturday we unpacked the furniture and various assundry items of my Mother's that we brought back from Indiana. The second guest room is finished and looks fantastic! The living room has yet another piece that brings the Bogart theme to life. We can't wait for you all to come to see us, and check out the new additions to our decor.
Robert played with his band Premonition last night, so Kawika and I decided that we would go to the movies. I went online and the theatre was showing the movie Ratatouie - so I purchased the tickets and we went on our merry way. Once we arrived and the kiosk couldn't find my tickets, I realized that we were at the WRONG theatre! Yikes, time was short and they just happened to be showing Transformers (which was not at the original location). The movie was fantastic! I recognized names such as Optimus Prime and Megatron from days when Michael was ten years old like Kawika! So even though things did not go as I planned - it turned out better!
So here we are, it is Sunday and Kawika is supposed to fly home today. The guys manage to get some fishing in before it is time to pack and head to the airport. No fish today, but I happened upon a couple of great butterflies in the back yard.
We head to the airport and were fortunate enough to get passes for both Robert and I to accompany Kawika to the gate. To pass the time until Kawika's flight, we decided to hang out at 'Victory Lane' on Concourse C and watch the Nascar Brickyard Race. Seating was non-existent, but we got lucky when a gentleman motioned to us to take his table as he was leaving. And who do you thing was sitting at the table next to ours? Another Tony Stewart fan, and to top it off she has Nascar TrackPass on her laptop. She gave us a thumbs up as soon as she saw Robert's Tony shirt, and she & the guys talked Nascar until the conclusion of the race. And do I have to tell you? TONY STEWART WON!!!!!
Did I mention that it is raining today? So bad that the 5:30 flight was post-poned to 7:20, then 9:00, and finally cancelled. Kawika's bag was already being transferred to the very next available flight, so retrieving it for the evening was not an option. We left the airport four hours after we arrived, and stopped by Walmart on the way home for a shirt for Kawika to wear tomorrow. He had fun picking one out that says, "I'm easily distracted - by food and video games." It rivals the one he has on today, that he also picked out, that says, "I didn't do my homework because." And so the evening is almost coming to an end, with Kawika watching the movie Taladega Nights (Nascar spoof) on TV, Robert playing with his amp, and me organizing photos. Once again, today did not turn out as originally planned, but all is well at the Pope household.
Wonder what adventures tomorrow will bring?
