**I actually have [livejournal.com profile] luscious_purple to thank for the gift - a pound of Kona coffee and a grinder. Reading her posts about Hawaii and her own Kona coffee got me wondering about it, so I bought a faux-Kona blend from the grocery store. I mentioned to the Dear Spouse what it was that we were drinking, and how Kona was supposed to be a superior coffee. He remembered that and bought me some of my very own!

The 19th is your birthday? Happy Birthday! It's also mine! We're like twins!
:)

Only recently found your LJ - congrats on the Spud! He is adorable. I hope I'll get to see you - and meet the little one - sometime. Maybe Kingdom Crusade?

And happy birthday to you, too, then!

I'm sure we're making KC. Don't know if we're camping or daytripping - I'll probably want to camp and Morgan will want to not-camp.

What the heck is cabin camping etiquette with a baby who doesn't sleep through the night? He's not a screamer (usually, knock on wood, and who knows what he'll be in October). And I've had adult cabin-mates who *ahem* were.

But I can imagine that a year or two ago, I would have viewed the appearance of a Pack-n-Play in my cabin with some trepidation...

Aaahhh, Kona ... grown in the rich dark volcanic soil of the Big Island.... *slurp*

Happy Birthday!!
