primsongHooray hooray, calloo callay! Two wonderful things in one day!
When my son went out to get the mail, he came in with a fat manila envelope - "Something from Hawaii" he said. "What? No way!!" was my incredulous reply. We've been calling police dept and mortuary and vital records people so long I had rather given up on ever getting the elusive death certificates we need, they had become something elusive, in the realm of fantasy. But sure enough - I have them, a stack of 40 of them, in fact. Need to call my bro so we can decide if it calls for another flight over to Maui or if the mail will serve.
AND... I finally have a bow of my very own.
*cuddles bow and shiny new quiver and pretty unrumpled arrows*
It's a maple recurve, 20# draw so my kids and I can all use it. We had to immediately go out in the backyard and shoot lots of arrows into our rather beat up foam target we got used at the archery place. Yayness!
:-D

Date: 2007-05-30 02:16 pm (UTC)We have so many because we kept being told "get a lot of them" when dealing with an estate that included an active business. My brother and I looked at each other and he said "What's a lot? Is 40 a lot?" I agreed that 40 sure sounded like a lot to me, so we ordered 40.
Ten already tagged for use so far - nice to not worry about running out, especially at the pace Hawaii's government seems to crawl.
