A Most Amazing Day


Recently, I experienced one of the most moving days of my life.  I went to the USS Arizona Memorial today where 1,177 people are entombed as a result of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  Can you imagine being stationed in paradise and waking up on Sunday, December 7, 1941 to all of the ships being bombed, exploding and on fire?

The other moving experience I enjoyed was dinner with an old friend of Ray’s from Bryson who is a resident of Honolulu.  She and I are very much alike in that we both like great food and good wine in a perfect setting.  She took us to a beach side restaurant in Waikiki.  I had the mixed seafood grill and it was perfect.  The fish in Hawaii is the most tasty and fresh ever!  I was in heaven that night. 

The end of the evening ended at Crazy Shirts which is one of my most delightful finds ever.  I bought shorts there about 10 years ago in San Francisco with my friend, Gail.  I still wear them to this day.  I bought another pair today. They are just the most comfortable blend of twill you can find.  They come in dyed colors such as beer dyed, wine dyed, crater dyed, coffee dyed and rum dyed.  I love them.  The tshirts are the equally as comfortable and last forever.

All in all……that was pretty much a perfect day!  I’ve crossed a few things off my bucket list!  Priceless!
