Tardy luau photos
Mandi and I happened to be in Seattle for a wedding last week so we were fortunate to be able to make it to the luau in Gold Bar. It was great to see everyone! I’m hoping someone else was taking pictures too since I didn’t get very many…

isaac…hey, thanks for sharing those. and yeah, it sounds like mary p has a lot of pics, but needs tim’s assistance to upload them. meanwhile, i have some captions for the photos you posted:
PIC #1: “Gary, Markay and Ericka share their collective relief when Bill finally puts his new dentures back in his mouth.”
PIC #2: MULTIPLE CHOICE CAPTIONS FOR GARY’S SHIRT:
(a) SPATTERED BUT VICTORIOUS, GARY KEEPS HIS LUAU FOOD FIGHT WIN STREAK ALIVE.
(b) WHEN ASKED WHERE HE GOT THE SHIRT, GARY CONFESSES THAT HE WON IT BY BEING THE TENTH CALLER TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY DON HO AS THE VOCALIST ON “TINY BUBBLES.”
(c) “BADGES? I DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ BADGES!”
(d) (and the obvious correct answer) ALL OF THE ABOVE.
PIC #3: After her Mom whacks an unidentified luau attendee with a spatula, Sarah calls 911 to avert further violence.

Sarah looks like a Hawaiian princess! Sorry we couldn’t make the party, but we were all wishing you big “Aloha.” Any more pictures anywhere? Isaac, thanks for yours. Hope your shoulder is knitted by now. Must be … as I see you and Mandi are back to jet-setting!
Love, C

The luau was a lot of fun and it was great to spend time with everyone and catch up. Sarah looks wonderful and was enjoying her day with family and friends.
The event was also a testament to the resilience of the women in this family, as Markay, Deb, Jacquie, and I have all had to put up with a Newton, Miller, and Wedin man with a broken wing this summer.
Gary was recovering shackle-less from surgery on his arm/shoulder à la bone spurs, Willie was in a space-age articulating cast for his broken arm à la garage basketball, and Isaac was (resisting, but thankfully) wearing his sling for his broken clavicle/shoulder à la snagging at the Homer Spit lagoon.
Gratefully, the gentelmen are all of the road to recovery, and entertaining to watch negotiate the crowded VFW hall. -m.
