This morning we decided to host a dessert party tonight in our rooms. So this morning we began to pick up things for the party. We got a chocolate raspberry cake, carrot cake, and custard pie from the Market Street Cafe in the California Hotel. Lori went shopping with cousins Myrtle and Eileen and got a case of bottled water, chips, and cookies. And Bick and Ron found haupia at another place nearby. Here are the desserts from the California Hotel, they were excellent!

Right on time cousins Carole and Gladys and Gladys' husband Phil showed up with cousin Mae and her husband James and son Mike. They met on the elevator on the way to the party! Carole and Gladys are from the Hilo side of the family (Mom's father's 2nd brother's children) and Mae is Mom's father's youngest sister's daughter. Mae gave Mom a vanda orchid lei and a crown flower lei, both were flown in from Hawai'i. Here's a photo from the early part of the gathering, my phone started to die after this so I had to switch to Mom's camera, which I can't download straight to my laptop so I will have to share those photos after we return.
