Ups & Downs

Let's give the down side first and then get to all the ups. Went to the DL bureau today. Both of us left without Hawaii DL's. First you must have a SS card. We showed them our passports, our TN voters reg card (which has our SSN on it) and our birth certs. No dice. I have those cards, I just saw them within the last month and I know they will show up or...we will stand in line to get new cards next week (on the 24th that is or else we go to Hilo or hopefully I will find them.) Then we will get to take the written test. Everyone say,"hope you pass". Cuz if you don't it's come back next week and try again, no kidding!!
Meanwhile all the up stuff as I went paddling with an Ironwoman. She was a 27 yr old German girl who finished 99th woman in 10:52. It was good to see her laughing and enjoying Hawaii after hearing about some who are still having trouble walking. We also had some Kiwi's with us (from NZ)plus lot's of dolphins. We actually had to stop paddling once as we seemed to be running into them. I think it's just that they like to be around us because as they came along side and we started paddling again they swam with us. They were so close that I could see them swimming with us underwater. Spectacular!! We've been able to go down on the farm and Ron's been soaking up info on maintaining, processing and even taking some time picking the beans. So far he loves it!! Good thing, huh!
