​PIE FOR BREAKFAST, MUSIC AND GAMES ALL DAY

Picture
        More than two years had gone by since the last time our family was all together. That was when we met up in Honolulu for a week at the Hale Koa (see post from  4/27/2019, "Ohana At The Hale Koa"). 
Picture
      Distance and the COVID pandemic were the culprits that kept us from a family get-together since then, but last week, for a short weekend, we were finally able to have a reunion.
      Maria and her family drove in from Los Angeles, arriving on Tuesday, July 20.

    I had asked Maria what her crew would like for their "Welcome to Ohio" dinner. Oven-fried chicken legs, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, hot rolls, and apple pie were their requests. And so that's what was served,
Picture
Picture
...and much enjoyed.
Picture
     Likewise, before Claire and Miguel flew in from Chicago late Friday night, July 23,
Picture
...I asked them what they would like me to make for them to eat.
      "Pie," was the response. "Just pie."
   And so in preparation for their arrival we made pie:
cherry lattice, cherry streusel, and pear streusel .  
Picture
     We also made a couple of loaves of challah bread for the occasion.
Picture
Picture
     However, as it was well past10 pm by the time Claire and Miguel arrived at the house, they weren't in the mood to eat. Rather, everyone was in the mood for some music.
Picture
      My children grew up in a family where music was the river that ran through it. 
​      They started music lessons before they started school. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
      They played ensembles from the time they were young.
Picture
Picture
     They played at each others' weddings.
Picture
Picture
      These days some of them love playing guitar, some love playing games, and we all love pie.
      And so the following morning, Saturday morning, we had pie for breakfast.
Picture
Picture
     Now, when you come right down to it, is pie for breakfast really any worse than, say, a stack of chocolate chip pancakes slathered in butter and syrup?
Picture
    Or cream cheese-stuffed French toast?
Picture
    Or donuts?
Picture
     I suppose it's a debatable question. In any case, we had pie for breakfast. With ice cream and whip cream.
Picture
Picture
      After breakfast there were games and music,
Picture
Picture
...and more games,
Picture
...and more music.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     In the afternoon Maria and Claire and their families went over to Tommy's and Emily's house where the sibs retired to the basement for a jam session.
Picture
     Meanwhile, Theresa, Tom, and I stayed home and worked on dinner,     
Picture
Picture
...until everyone returned from Tommy's and Emily's house,
Picture
...for dinner.
Picture
      Dinner gave a nod to nutrition, if breakfast had failed to,
Picture
Picture
...though we did have left-over pie for dessert, 
Picture
...including an apple pie which Tom made that afternoon to restock the dwindling pie inventory.
Picture
     After dinner there were indoor games,
Picture
...and outdoor games,
Picture
...until the sun went down.
Picture
      The following morning we had pancakes for breakfast,
Picture
Picture
Picture
....and left-over pie.
Picture
     After breakfast the music and games recommenced,      
Picture
Picture
...until I recruited a flank of volunteers to peel the pod covers from my gargantuan harvest of silver dollar plants,
Picture
Picture
     Then our short weekend reunion was almost over and the time was growing near for Claire and Miguel to return to Chicago. We had a final meal together of delicious Jet's pizza.
Picture
Picture
    For some reason nobody was interested in pie.

I was so impatient to carry out the necessary research, but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 90,700 USD worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 340,575 USD within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed that my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all costs, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency, funds with the help of MICHAEL CALCE WIZARD SOFTWARE HACKING GROUP . So I filed a report and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds within two hours. I feel indebted to him. Apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium, I will recommend anyone who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out to michaelcalcewizard78@gmail.com or via WhatsApp:+447375542502

Wardrivers Cyber Service is the best recovery team to help you recover your money from these scammers. A few months ago, I was contacted by a guy on Instagram about an investment platform that will bring huge profits if I invest in cryptocurrency, and after investing $98,000 into this platform, I was asked to invest more but that was when I knew it was a scam, my money was gone and they stopped answering my calls and messages. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine told me about Wardrivers and how they can recover my stolen money, I contacted them and in less than 48 hours, my money was reversed to me. Thank you so much Wardriver's Cyber service for your help.
Here is their personal contact information: Wardriverscyberservice@techie.com

The thought of thinking I could have done this or I could have tried that but the truth is we all humans and we all make mistakes but how we choose to deal with those mistakes is what matters. I made a mistake but it was only because they exploited my desire to make more money but it was also their biggest mistake because my desire is also my strongest point. After I had lost over $700,000.00 dollars to scammers I was desperate to get back my money, I hate losing Money more than anything so I went online searching for solutions after the Fed said they couldn't do anything and luckily I found the most amazing and professional hacker Geek squad cyber. successfully recovered my money and profits within 48 hours. I want to share this here today because I know there are many others out There, with similar experience, quickly reach out to c.cyberservice@writeme.com or ‪+1 (575) 552‑5946 to help you recover your money from crypto scammers.

I was not sure it was possible to retrieve money that had already been sent out through bitcoins, USDT, and other cryptocurrencies until I came across Wardrivers Cyber, a company that provides recovery service to all your money stolen through cryptocurrency. I was just like other victims who had put my savings into an investment platform hoping to make huge profits until I was told to continue paying more without any returns. I was able to recover everything after contacting Wardrivers Cyber, I’m truly grateful people like them exist to help put an end to all these investment scammers. Here is their information: Wardriverscyberservice@techie(.)com

8) I almost lost my life after falling victim to a scam that went on for weeks, I got contacted by a lady pretending to be a Forex trader account manager, she told me that I’ll make huge profits if I invest on her platform not knowing that I was being targeted, I started making investments through bitcoins until it was time to withdraw and they insisted I had to pay 20% to withdraw my money and it was then I knew I was being swindled. Unfortunately, I had already put $90,000 into this investment scam. While I was wallowing in depression, I came across an article about Mr .JAMEMESMCKAYWIZARD. Whom i contacted that helped me recover my money, I didn’t hesitate to give him the neccesary details he took some information from me and to my surprise, all my money was recovered within 48 hours. I’m truly grateful to him and his team for their professionalism in helping me recover my money. If you have lost money to any of these scams, I’ll recommend them to you.
