My favorite at the moment is Ka Lehua ‘Ula because it was one I danced to while I was in Hilo a couple years ago. BTW, your sis Kanani has asked me to make matching Hawaiian outfits for her, Ryan, & Lil Kanani. How nice it was of her to think of me. She said it would be meaningful because I used to be close to Andy. Well, I’m not sure how close I was to him, but I certainly enjoyed dancing with him & Cindy. Kanani & I are no longer in the same halau. I had to leave because of an altercation with the kumu. I’m now dancing with Mililani Celio. She’s such a great person — filled with aloha. She used to dance with Don Ho in her younger years. Wonderful dancer. I have to be in the “Gracious Ladies” class now since I’m getting older & older and more riddled with arthritis. I’ll be 70 in a couple months. No way I can wrap my mind around that. There was our monthly ukulele meetup at Elika’s house last night but I was unable to go. In hula class Friday night I over-did it, so yesterday my hip joint & both knees were crying out in pain. Had to take a couple pain pills and then that made me too “fuzzy” to drive safely. Aue — this old-age stuff is for the birds! I’ve been following you on Facebook. How much longer before you’ll be a makuahine? Me ‘oukou ka welina o ke aloha . . . Aunty Sharon
