Our Auntie Lynn is hot stuff!

Our own Auntie Lynn, aka: Auntie Pupule, founder and organizer fo the Keiki Slippah Wish Fund, is the cover girl for Midweek, a free weekly newspaper that goes to every home in Hawaii (or is it just on Oahu?) The article is in recognition of her extraordinary service to our local communities and her family tradition of service to our country. Lynn’s son, two daughters, stepson and son-in-law are all military, either actively serving, recently returned from service or scheduled to soon be deployed to Iraq. In addition to the Keiki Slippah Wish Fund, Lynn is a long-time volunteer with the Kau Kau Wagon, providing food for the homeless. She also recently took her first shot at a public office with her unsuccessful bid for a seat on the City Council. Follow the link above to read the story of this remarkable woman whom I am privileged to call a friend.
Note: Two of the photos in the article are mine, uncredited. I’m a huge fan of Midweek, but am disappointed that they would use photos without crediting their copyrighted owner. Bad form, Midweek!

Merry Christmas Skeet. My hubbies brother passed away on Tuesday so this will be a hard one for us. We are enjoying the kids being home. I’ll be thinking of you as you continue to prepare for your move.

Mahalo, Karen. My family, too, had the pall of a funeral Christmas week (my young cousin.) Hope you all found some joy in the holiday. My sympathies on the loss of your brother-in-law.
