Dark of the Moon

Book Notes Posted by kitt at 22:06 on 27 April 2015

A couple days ago, Mom had commented to me that I should start the John Sandford Virgil Flowers series. She had read them and enjoyed them, the lead character's wit and humour entertaining her. I had looked (casually, not intently) in the condo association's lending library for the first one, Dark of the Moon, without success and didn't think much of it. So, when Mom and I were at the giant bookstore in Kona yesterday, she found the book, and handed it to me to buy. Bookstore. Recommended book. Place to donate the book when I was done so that I didn't have to lug it home at the end of my vacation. All of this was leading nicely to a "Yes, please."

Boy, was I glad I bought it. I started it last night, and finished it today. As is with most vacations that aren't ultimate frisbee or safari or Antarctica bound, I had a day of sick. That would be today, so having a book to read was fantastic. In this case, also very entertaining.

End of the third day in Kona

Blog kitt decided around 20:31 on 26 April 2015 to publish this:

Living the high life here! We found a deck of old style Skipbo cards in the condo during our cleaning, so I asked Mom if she'd like to play. She agreed, and despite not having played in years (maybe a decade), she kicked my butt. Which I will admit is a bit frustrating, since I KEEP HAVING MY BUTT KICKED AT HOME, TOO.

I swear, my Skipbo mojo is weak.

Errands on Kona Day 3

Blog Instead of being asleep at 15:39 on 26 April 2015, kitt created this:

Man, today was a day of errands. After Java on the Rocks, we lounged for only a short bit, then started in on all the tasks we had to do for the condo. We left the condo around 10:30 and shopped until nearly 3, including lunch, and really, that is so way not my thing, random shopping. This, however, was focused shopping, and I didn't have the correct shoes on, and my back was killing me. As you can tell by that run-on sentence.

One of the highlights of the day, however, was going into the new/used bookstore that is near the natural foods store, where Mom and I have taken to purchasing lunch at the deli. Mom said it was a good bookstore. I mean, just LOOK at this door and inside:
