Open Thank-You to our Daughter (the Fibber)

October 21, 2011October 24, 2011 ~ Kana Smith ~ 28 Comments

Our oldest daughter fibbed to me Wednesday.  She asked for our new address so she could send pictures of the grandbabies.  This morning as we were drinking our first cup of coffee on the porch, a UPS truck pulled up to our trailer.  "Puzzled" would be an understatement to describe our reaction, but ours is … Continue reading Open Thank-You to our Daughter (the Fibber)

When the two of us ran a restaurant together (Kana Girl's Hawai'ian BBQ) even men used to tell me that if I ever stepped aside, they wanted to marry him.  Joking, of course... But seriously. The man is … Continue reading “Manscaping” the Kitchen
