Above – Surfing bay side at Surfside Deli on Rosecrans.<\/i><\/p>\n

KJ, fka Karin Longway, long time friend going all the way back to Dana Jr High School, paid us a visit and left last Friday to return to the land of Kiwi, Pineapple Lumps, Whittaker’s chocolates & Dukkha.<\/p>\n

Below – Evidently this is a very special treat in NZ. I think it deserves an award for its name alone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I especially like the warning. After all, if you’re going to eat candy, you should be sure to enjoy a balanced diet!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s another treasure from NZ. So good!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the nights we got together with Dennis Huber and his wife, Shelley, at The Venitian Restaurant. I’ve known Dennis since before I can remember. He lived down the alley from me and we went to the same elementary school. Kick the can comes to mind here …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We got together with KJ’s brother, Jonny (who is an owner of Surfside Deli), for happy hour at the Kona Kai.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This horse made out of scrap wood is in the lobby at the Kona Kai Club. An odd thing to have on display at a yacht club, I think. Just sayin’.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t ask because I have no idea what this is. Scary.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A second trip to the Kona Kai and yet another horse in the lobby.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Siblings – Jonny, KJ & Kathie.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Farewell lunch at Nati’s.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was catching birds. I know this is hard to believe, but not one bird fell for the old corn chip on the head (or the shoulder) trick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dukkah – dip some bread in olive oil, then in the Dukkah & eat it. Good stuff. KJ couldn’t find it anywhere so she ordered a package on Amazon. To our surprise it was shipped from NZ and arrived before she left!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dukkah went very well with this bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc KJ also provided.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KJ stayed with us almost 3 weeks, minus a couple short trips to Rosarita Beach and Salt Lake City to be with relatives. We always enjoy her company and we were sorry to see her go. She left Friday, a day before Robb and the boys showed up.<\/p>\n

A special farewell to my Aunt Flo who was married to my mom’s younger brother Chuck. Flo suffered a severe stroke about 10 years ago and passed away last week. Her service was today – a beautiful Jewish service followed by lunch at Tio Leo’s. <\/p>\n

I am so far behind in posting. I need to get back into the swing of things before my India trip.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
