Veteran's Day

Today was a pretty eventful holiday. In the morning, Priscilla went to babysit Malia and Bella at Heather's house, so I stayed at home and completed my history map practice by filling in all the places on the map.

For lunch, we went out to eat at the Kyoto Ramen restaurant for the second time, but for the first time with all four of us. The chashu ramen was sooo good, but there was so much chashu inside that I shared them with the others.

Then we went to Punchbowl to pay respects to Naomi and Priscilla's grandfather. Since it was Veteran's Day, lots of other people were there. The whole place was decorated with flags and flowers. It was beautiful!

Went home and watched one movie with Priscilla and Erin before going to the Deaf Starbucks Event at Kahala Mall. We got to use a lot of ASL, but there was a small concert thing going on at the same place, and it was sometimes hard to concentrate because of that! Only later did we find out that our friend Yury from the Kaimuki church was playing violin there!!
See the blond guy up close? That's Yury. I was so close to him but didn't know he was there!

We got to the Friday service at Kaimuki, where Pastor Ron talked about giving thanks, probably in preparation for Thanksgiving Day. Instead of going out with the others for dinner (some of us were tired), we picked up dinner at Jack-in-the-Box and ate at home while watching Hogan's Heroes yet again! There are only 2 episodes left to watch... *sniff*

We are going to bed a little earlier than usual today. Good night! (and hopefully the image upload will work tomorrow morning!)
