Happy Summer Solstice!

This evening at 6:24 pm HST, summer arrived! Yesterday and today it has started at 85 degrees F in the morning and got up to 89 by the late afternoon. And Dad said he was cold until it got up to about 88! I hope it doesn't get any hotter. Or if it does, I hope the trade winds keep blowing steadily.

For breakfast today we went to Like Like Drive-Inn. Warning: If you go there, the parking lot is now one way only; the entrance is from Keeaumoku Street only. Curt had the 2 meat omelette, but I can't remember which 2 meats he chose. I had the Ahi & Eggs special; I will order this one again! I think this must be the local equivalent of steak & eggs.
For you non-locals that's pronounced "lee-kay lee-kay".
L to R; Ahi & Eggs Special, toast, 2 Meat Omelette with Brown Rice, Coffee (with free refills).

After breakfast we went to Don Quijote so Curtis could buy omiyage. On Friday he and Lori are leaving for a cruise to Alaska. They start in Seattle; they'll be staying at the Tulalip Inn for a couple of days at the beginning and one day at the end of their trip. We both bought a bunch stuff.

After that we went to the bank to get the medallion stamp for 2 of the forms that we need to turn in. We learned a bunch of things about medallion stamps. First, a medallion stamp is like a high-powered notary stamp. It is used for things like transfer of stocks and annuities in the case of the death of the owner when there is no beneficiary named, as is the case with 2 of Mom's investments that slipped through the cracks when we were trying to clean everything up. Second, only 1 or 2 people at a financial institution are qualified to issue a medallion stamp so you need to make an appointment to get one. Third, you need to do it at the financial institution that the person signing the document does business with, not the institution that the decedent did business with so that if there is a problem they can get the money out of the people that know the signer. Now that we have all that information we are moving forward with getting the medallion stamp.

On the way to the bank we saw a sign that explained how Kaimuki came to be named. Much like that oven, it gets very hot here, even when it's not summer.


Happy Birthday to Alika & Tristen!
