Volcano story at House Without a key

This morning (Saturday) Grandma took us to House Without a Key for breakfast.  It seemed more crowded than usual but still beautiful.

She has a hearty appetite and got the ok from her doctor to eat as much as she wants, so she had her favorite shrimp omelet and 5 bacon strips!  Not bad for 97.

While drinking guava juice she mentioned how hard it is to find guava fruits.  She recalled how when she was a teen in Hilo, her Reverend used to take a bunch of kids from Church every week to the Volcano.  There they gathered guavas and plants, brought them to the edge of a vent (I think she meant) and threw them in as a greeting to Madame Pele.   The lava would bubble, she said.
She had never shared this story with us before so it was fascinating - from many angles.
Thank you Grandma for enriching our lives with your stories from the past.
