Dinner at Zippy's with Dad

Curtis came over this evening to give Dad a shave and change his clothes. After that we went out to dinner at Dad's favorite place, Zippy's! Dad had his favorite Hamburger Steak Plate with vanilla ice cream for dessert, Curtis had the Chili Moco, and I had the Pork Adobo special. We try to take Dad out every so often; I told him there was nothing to eat in the house so we needed to go out for dinner. I actually had not made anything but could easily get something out of the freezer if he was adamant about not going out. Zippy's is great because they are very kupuna-friendly. There are disabled parking stalls on both parking levels, a very well-marked pedestrian walkway, and a good elevator from the parking level to the restaurant level.

There is a storm front that has been sitting south of the state all day. Kaua'i started to get rain this afternoon; they're under a flash flood warning until later tonight. The rest of the State is under a flash flood watch. Last Sunday we also had heavy rains which caused damage in several areas; the ground is still saturated so more damage is anticipated if the predicted rainfalls of 5" to 12" materialize.

I received an envelope in the mail today; one of the things in the envelope was poking out of it. They were gifts from Janice! I sent her this photo; she said that everything that she sent arrived. She was dealing with new snow beginning to come down.

Gifts from Janice (clockwise from top left): Stargazing pocket notebook, Seattle Chocolate Company Bali Sea Salt Toffee jcoco chocolate bar, and Epic 100% Natural Bison protein bar.
