An affectionate poke at the things our family loves and the life we live, aka, Da'Kine: The real thing; a whatchamacallit; "you know what I mean?"

Macadamias or Pecans?
The Cady Family spent the morning watching the US Little League World Series Championship. The teams playing against each other were Hawaii vs. Texas--Pearland to be exact. This is weird. We literally live in Waipahu where the team from Hawaii is from. The Park they play and practice at is five minutes away. The name of it is, "Central Oahu Park," or as we know it, "Pasty Mint Park." (Jonathan misread the sign the first few times we saw it. The actual name is "Patsy Mink," but the mispronunciation has stuck.) Anyway, we moved here from Friendswood, one suburb over from Pearland, just over a year ago. Watching the game felt a little surreal. Like watching your best friend marry your ex-fiance. Well, not that surreal, but still. I mean, it's possible some of those Pearland boys go to school with some of the kids we went to church with in Houston, just like one of the players from Waipahu goes to school with Mackenna & Jonathan. As 'irony' or 'luck' would have it, here they were. Out of all the teams from around the Nation that made it to the Finals, these were the two vying for the US Championship in Pennsylvania. So, in case you're wondering how the cheering-match went down at our house, this is it: Kenna & Jon were 100% Waipio. I was 100% Pearland. David, as always, was neutral as Switzerland. BTW: this is Jon's "I'm Cooler-Than-School" look. I had to MAKE him hold the DP can. Turncoat!!

Talk about a blend of cultures! Guess they'll be doing a happy dance there in Waipahu. Glad to know there is peace on the home front--such potential for family strife!
