Hey Ruth!

We had a little hole in the wall Hawaiian place that had great Kailua 
pork....but last time I drove by there it was not there...sigh!

This house was built in the late 1800's and had triple shutters on all the 
windows the inside shutters could be adusted with the louvers to let light and 
air in the two outside shutters were for keeping the weather out. Lanai all the

way around the house and you could actually go in through the windows if 
you wished because they came within about 2 1/2 feet of the floor. I really 
loved that house and if I'd had the chance to buy that one I'd probably still 
be in it (grin). As it is it was torn down to make way (I think) for Del 
(destructo) Webb's Northshore biggie. Sometimes progress isn't the best 
thing.

I just wash em and if there's too many to let just air dry...I dry em and wash 
some more (grin).
