Any of our Taro Patch friends who are in the Anaheim area, I need to ask your advice. Our daughte,r Marianne, will be in Anaheim staying at the Doubletree on The City Drive South starting the Monday before Christmas until Dec. 27. This is our first Christmas without her being with us in her whole life (26 yrs)!!!! I am starting to feel weird because my baby will not be home and I am trying to think of some ways that I can try to give her a Christmas so far away.
We cannot send her packages, since her company only wants them to get regular mail which is then somehow delivered to them once a week. We send their mail to a PO box in Florida where the entertainment company is located and they then get it to the right place. But I want her to have some packages to open.
Does anyone know of any local businesses, shopping places, florists, bakeries, whatever, that I can call and have them deliver someething to her at the hotel?
Or -- even a bigger thing to ask -- if someone in that area would be so kind as to let us send a package to your home and you deliver it to the hotel at the right time - like maybe Christmas eve. I know that is a big, big favor to ask, and I will understand if no one wants to do it, but it sure would help a mama feel better about her baby not missing Christmas and being so far away from home.
Mahalo.

Santa has a new elf who helped out this year -- dear Slkho, Rik Nieves, He so kindly let me send him a package for our daughter which he delivered to her hotel. She has the package and using self-discipline, she has not opened the box. I told her she has to wait for Christmas.
Rik - thank you so much. Taro Patch `ohana - please --- a round of applause for Slkho. Now I won't be a sobby, cry-cry mama on Christmas. |

C'mon Wanda,
You and I both know you will still be a sobby, cry-cry mama on Christmas. That's your job!
Julie
Have a good Christmas anyway.... |

| That's the Taropatch spirit, Rik! I don't know about you, Wanda, but for me, my kids will always be my kids no matter how old I (and they) get!! |
Aloha,

Julie - I was a bit misty-eyed, but did not out and out cry. Then we went to Paul's sister's house where the whole family gathered and Marianne called while we were there and we passed the phone round to everyone to talk to her amongst the mayhem and cacophony.
Taro Patch is indeed full and such nice people. I think if you like beautiful Hawaiian music, you have da nice particles floating around in your koko and cannot be mean. It is just genetically or chemically impossible.
Thanks again, Rik. |
