Happy birthday, Edie Ignacio Neumiller, whose retirement allowed her to have not one but two special meals on her birthday — the first being lunch with Sheryl Grady at The Plantation House by Gaylords, and the second being a belated happy birthday Maurina Borgatti meal at JO2 with Laurie Ho, Christine Wong and Bev Pang (she made all the lei po‘o). And, happy birthday, too, Sharron Weber of Tire Warehouse, who was probably hard at work somewhere.

OK, this is it — the last chance to catch Meilin Vitale-Vae and Meri-Mine Clarke and the Missing Polynesia (where did that yellow line come from?) crew before they pack up their pop-up next to ParTea (check out their recyclable straws for the bubble drinks) at Kukui Grove Center in Lihu‘e.
