Before lunch was served in the lanai, Buddy, Rey, Linda and I had chatted a little about ourselves, a lot about local news and weather, and plans for the remainder of the weekend.
Buddy described her Maui house in historic Lahaina as a “humble but lovely little two-bedroom number” that would take a few years to pay off. She was fine with that; there was self-satisfaction to be had in doing it all on one"s own. While on Oahu, she was staying in a spacious three-bedroom Kahala condo with best friend from Vassar days, Eda Kona. The two planned to attend a luau this evening and brunch on the Leeward side tomorrow.
Rey, never one to beat around the bush, started the Picolo session with a blunt, “Do you own a gun?”
Buddy studied my cousin"s attractive face and then laughed. “I like you – you"
