~ Cinnamon's Hat ~

by Tina~in_ut





The last time we were in Hawaii, I was driving along with my family, and Kgrl called. She asked where we were on the island. I wasn't sure, so I looked around and saw an island not too far out, checked the map, and proudly announced that we were by Cinnamon's Hat.



There was silence on the other end.......then laughter. She asked, "Do you mean Chinaman's Hat?"



Chinaman.......Cinnamon.....same thing!~ :D (I should have taken the hint right then and there that I needed glasses!)



Since then, my whole family has called it Cinnamon's Hat. It's by my daughter's favorite beach. The water is calm and warm and although there are many crabs running around, the beach is peaceful. No matter which way you turn, the scenery is breathtaking.

    Morning Glories!

    Tina congrats on first!

    Good Morning Scrishy!

    Love the vids from Hawaii so peaceful and beautiful. I like Cinnamon's Hat better. I imagine a beautiful girl named Cinnamon wearing a wonderful hat who lost her love in that spot and so it was named.

    Still feeling a bit punky this am.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    Iteach I have a routine every morning and feel out of sorts if I don't follow it. Get up between 4 am and 6 am have coffee read the nest and check the news farm and then house work or errands. Boring but it keeps me grounded.

    Morning Lynndeeee....I have a not so funny story for you...We donated a bunch of my mom's things to "Lorraine's Kitchen" which is a combination food bank/emergency help center. We had 7 huge heavy duty bags that SO took down there. He went in to tell them we had stuff in the van and the women said she would send someone out to unload. When the guy came out, SO was already unloading. The guy took one look and said "I have to carry all THAT?" I wanted to put the stuff back in the van and turn around and go home...Sheesh

    Good morning!

    Tina, love the video, wish I was there instead of getting ready for work.

    Scrishy I don't even know what to say about the guy carrying in the bags...

    Hi Lynn!

    I've been working in the flu clinic the past couple days, it has been absolutely insane. We got the H1N1 vaccine on Monday, they are limiting it at this time (the state of Calif. has guidelines, not just our facility making the rules).

    Anyway it has been very exhasperating trying to deal with all the people who want it and can't get it.

    I hope everyone has a great day today!

    Tina: I loved watching that footage. It made me feel like I was on the beach, looking out over the Pacific, contemplating eternity and mortality.

    Thanks! And good morning, Scrishy, Lynn D, and Goldie!

    Good morning all.....

    btw...whabbear....Rita succumbed..in 1996 I believe....

    What a beautiful background spot....but "Chinamans Hat??" I didn't realize I was traveling vicariously with the international voice of racism...lol.....

    You should keep calling it Cinnamons Hat...because of the cute story behind it.....

    There must not be any prominent Chinese man that is aware of this monument to China's hats or he just doesn't care because otherwise the Chinese would want an apology......

    Remember when Rosie O'Donnell said "ching-ching-chong" on The View?

    You just can't stay out of trouble can you.......lq

    Good afternoon everyone! I had a funeral service to attend this morning, My ex SIL. I almost fell over dead myself when I saw my ex husband(SIL brother) there. He lives 3 miles from her and never visited, not even when she was hospitalized!
    On a good note, I got to see my son and and my wonderful Grandchildren!
    When I returned home the dry wall guy was here and gone, dang! I hard he was cute too! I have missed him twice! He comes back tomorrow to finish up. :)
    I love how everything is going so smoothly (knock-on-wood!).
    BBL I have to farm and order one more kitchen cabinet (over frig).

    Waving at Tina,scrish,Carol,Tinka,LyynD,

    Happy Thursday Owls.

    Tina, I love your HI vids. I felt like I was sitting right there on the beach listening to the surf. I wouldn't want to sit where those crabs were though.

    Carol, why can't the boss watch videos at work? I would think you could show Hawaii to customers to entice them to book a trip there.

    Mary, can't wait to see pics of your new kitchen.

    Waving hello to all the other Owls. I am off to the dentist, post office, pharmacy and anywhere else that strikes my fancy. BBL Wishing everyone a good day.

    Tina Congrats on #1! I hope you didn't bring any crabs into the nest with you. Thanks for the beautiful, serene vid this morning. Makes me miss Hawaii. I haven't been there since I got married in Maui in 2000.

    Scirish How ungrateful that guy sounds! I think he's working at the wrong place, don't you?

    LynnD I don't like changes in my routine either. Especially the coffee. Gotta have my coffee.

    Goldie I hope you don't have to deal with any idiots today.

    EBJ I hope your day gets better as it goes on.

    Carol Sorry I forgot again last night. :(

    Bear I agree that the vid was very relaxing. Of course, she didn't pan down to those scampering crabs that one must keep an eye on!

    DeeDee I've seen piles of raccoon shit that take on that same shape but I think the name Chinaman's Hat is much nicer, don't you? LOL

    Tinka Congrats on 25! And gentle (((hugs))).

    Mary Who told you the dry wall guy is cute? Did you make Mr. Mary make that judgement call? ;)

    Great video Tina & congrats on 1st!
    How come you didn't say "Hi!" to us? You could have said something so we knew it was you, like "hello crackwhores", or "how's it going owls" or "kiss my ass!"...geez something. But it was very pretty. Thanks.
