The Hawaiian Islands Are Doing What?!?

Last night we watched a programme about how the Hawaiian islands came to be. Volcanic eruptions and, tada! islands! In a nutshell: help! Okay, I'll try not to panic. Here's why: they discovered how they came to be in the 50's or something and in 1995 there was a massive earthquake so they went to the floor of the ocean to see if they could find/see the epicenter of a new island. They had mapped one and the earthquake apparently made it sink in on itself, but it is still growing. Eventually, that new island will surface and the Big Island of Hawaii will be the second youngest island in the chain . . . the islands are MOVING. That's why small portions of Maui are disappearing. Eroding, they say. They discovered that half of Molokai is on the ocean's floor.



My kids round on me and ask, "And we're moving there?"



I look at Chief.

Our new address may be: The JOT's, Pacific Ocean, literally and specifically.



Am I worried? No! Gosh, no. It's just hilarious!


Here's a sweet pic I took this morning of my friend and her girl . . . She loves Jesus! She hugged and kissed this Divine Mercy statue that belongs to another friend of mine in the DM Cenacle.


Here's that white hot mess and foolishness I was talking about. So much to get rid of! Oh, that boxed up bundle of stuff is our new stuff from IKEA.

One of the many scratches patched up. It needs sandpapering and a coat of primer. The whole wall needs primer so it doesn't look horrible. I can't leave it half-arsed.


One of the many blinds needing care . . . my husband can dismantle them and move the bottom ones up so we do not have to pay to replace them. Hurrah!


So, worried about the islands dipping into the ocean? Naw. I just might learn how to swim that way.

Sarah!
I was just loving looking at your puppy picture, you know and guess what? We now have a cute funny little chewing thing too! She's named Lucy and she is 1/2 Shitzu and 1/2 toy poodle. She has a tad of white fur on the tip of each paw..kinda like getting her nails painted..lol...and she has a little white beard under her mouth and some white on her belly. Otherwise, she is silky black and curly and all you can see is the whites of her eyes! She's so funny. I had to pull up your blog for Crista ( she will really belong to Crista who still lives at home) anyway, I had to bring her to your blog page and show her your funny baby and we just laughed at that picture all over again..the look on your dog's face is so funny along with what you wrote about her.
This one is still afraid of her own shadow right now and she talks back to you when you talk to her. I'm lovin it..she just better train up right..that's all I gotta say! ;)

Kissteen - they'll be nice to me 'cos I bake some mean home made brownies!! Funny story about that shopvac. It's two years old this September. Got it two years ago for my hubs for our anniversary. I pulled it out of the box one year ago (after we got the van) and vacuumed out the van. I use it. He does not. Or at least he hasn't yet.

Suz - post pics of your Lucy. Which pic of Hols? The tongue sticking out one? My girl must have been very patient in getting that pic. She takes MILLIONS of pics of that dog (it used to be the cat) . . . she has three with tongue. I should post the mangey looking one. Perhaps tomorrow.

The picture of your friend's little girl kissing Jesus is beautiful! We love the Divine Mercy...:-) I hope the islands stay where they are....you are much calmer about it than I would be, that's for sure. ;-)

Jen - it has provoked me to deeper prayer since. :)

Suzanne said...

No, Sarah..the last one you just did about Hols chewing up everything..the look..its like saying, "Are you writing about me again?" LOL! Its just a funny!

Brandie said...

LOL! You are too funny! I sure hope the islands don't start moving :)

Sarah - Kala said...

Brandie - that's just it, though. They are moving . . . slowly into the East. Oy vey! Slowly. We will be long gone before they're long gone.

LOL Sarah, when we were in Hawaii we lived at the Aliamanu housing area. The houses are around or inside an extinct [we hoped ;o)] volcano crater. We vacationed on the Big Island (Hawaii), where we saw the fabulous live volcano. We got to see the beautiful painted church before it was caught in the lava flow and destroyed. I'm so excited for you. I miss Hawaii.
