The Grove

Saturday, Dec 29, 2012
Kailua

The Grove is celebrating their first anniversary (along with 2 birthdays!) and they wanted to throw a thank you to all the supporters that helped them along the way.  They needed a photographer for the event and they originally approached Jalna for the job but since it was from 10p-1am it's a little past her bedtime so she asked me if I could do it.  It's kinda past my bedtime too but I was gonna be in Kailua anyways so I told her I would go.  I'm glad I did, it was a lot of fun!  I hope to try the restaurant out one day, I haven't been there since Lucy's closed down.  The food smelled wonderful but I wasn't hungry so I didn't get to try anything.

This is the owner's father in law, he was celebrating his birthday.  Since he looks like Hugh Hefner they decided to do a Playboy theme! Weird.  He actually looks like him!

Farewell Gramma :(

Mildred Leong
Jan 4, 1913 - Dec 21, 2012

My gramma passed away early Friday morning at Ann Pearl, her care home in Kaneohe.  She was 99 years old, only a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday.  We have lots of great memories with her.  She will be missed!
