Hawaii

Cassie Grace July 2013

I remember in January of 1987 we went to Hawaii.  My dad worked for a seed company at the time and had sold enough seed that he won two trips.
Linda, Robin, Carol and Marlene shared Lindey while we were gone. Emily stayed with Diane and Jerry Eversviller.  I took care of Lacey...
It was a long flight with a unknown sinus infection making it seems as though my head might pop off.
I remember thinking... what happens if you die on the plane??
We got there and the first breath of the air,
the first sight of the sky
was worth all the pain (plus, I found out to chew some gum and I would be fine).
I loved our trip.
Remembering...
snorkeling and seeing the fresh water fish, the luaus, the beach, Maui, the motel, Robbie Meyer... I remember my mom had bought me a beautiful red dress.  I felt like the prettiest pregnant person in the world... 1,000's of miles from home.  Watching pretty ladies dance the hula, candles lit on the Island, memories gathered with people we love.
And now 27 years later it looks like we have a little Hawaiian granddaughter!
