ʻO ka lā kākau leka lāhui

By Danielle V

Hauʻoli La Kakau Leta Lahui! Me ka maʻalahi o nā leka uila, nā leka uila, nā leka pololei Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Loaʻa iaʻu ʻelua mau hoa peni kākau leka i kēia manawa, a hoʻouna mau wau i nā kāleka lā hānau, lā hoʻomaha, a me nā kāleka mahalo i nā hoaaloha a me ka ʻohana. Makemake mau au i ka loaʻa ʻana a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka leka uila, akā ʻaʻole wau i hauʻoli loa i ke akamai o ka leka lima a hiki i ka wā ma hope o koʻu ola.

Ua hana au ma kahi hale kūʻai ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe, a hana pinepine au i kekahi mau loli lohi. No ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻolōʻihi ʻana i ka manawa a i ʻole e loaʻa i ka pilikia no ke kamaʻilio ʻana i kekahi i kekahi no ka lōʻihi loa, ua hoʻomaka wau me kekahi o koʻu mau hoaaloha e hāʻawi i nā memo ma ka pepa loaʻa. I ko mākou hele ʻana e hoʻokaʻawale i nā kolamu i ka hāʻule ʻana aʻe, ua holomua mākou i ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā leka lima lima ma ka leka, a ua hoʻohui pū mākou i nā kāleka leka i kā mākou huli ʻana; Ua hoʻouna aku au iā ia i ka leka uila e haʻi iā ia e kākau wau i kēia pou blog.

Ua mālama mākou i kēlā me kēia leka a me ka leka uila i nā makahiki, a mahalo nui wau no ia mea. Ua huakaʻi ʻo ia a noho i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe he nui, no laila, loaʻa iaʻu kahi hōʻiliʻili nani o nā māka leka honua mai nā wahi like ʻole mai ia. Ua male au i Iune 2021 (inā ua heluhelu ʻoe i kaʻu nā pou i hala E hoʻomanaʻo paha ʻoe ua hoʻopanee a hoʻololi ʻia kaʻu male ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi COVID-19, akā i ka hopena hope loa!) a ʻo ia kaʻu kaikamahine wahine hanohano. Ua ʻike au e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna kamaʻilio ʻana, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kaʻu i noʻonoʻo ai no ka mea hiki iā ia ke kuhikuhi i kā mākou mau leka a hoʻomanaʻo i ka manawa mua aʻu i haʻi aku ai i kaʻu kāne i kēia manawa iā ia, a me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo nui ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka hoʻouna ʻana a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā leka lima i ʻoi aku ka leʻaleʻa a pilikino ma mua o ka leka a i ʻole ka leka uila. ʻO wai makemake ʻole i ka leka uila? Eia kekahi, me kēlā me kēia peʻa āu e hoʻohana ai, ke kākoʻo nei ʻoe i ka United States Postal Service (USPS), a he mau koho maikaʻi loa kā lākou ma mua o nā peʻa hae kahiko maʻamau, e like me Scooby-Doo, ʻotters adorable, a hou.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonani i kāu mau leka ma nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me:

  • ʻO ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka leka lima. I kekahi manawa ke kamaʻilio nei au i kaʻu mau envelopes me ka cursive (ʻae, hoʻohana maoli au i kēia mākau i kekahi manawa!) A i ʻole faux calligraphy, a i ʻole e hoʻohana wale i kahi peni leʻaleʻa e kū ai ka helu wahi. ʻAʻole wau e kākau i kaʻu mau leka a i ʻole kāleka iā lākou iho me ka ʻōlelo hōʻino, akā hiki i nā peni leʻaleʻa ke hele i kēlā manawa.
  • Ke kaha kiʻi ʻana ma nā envelopes. He mea maʻalahi paha kēia e like me ke alo minoʻaka i ke kala ʻana i ka enveloppa holoʻokoʻa, ma muli o ka nui o ka manawa āu e makemake ai e hoʻolilo.
  • E ho ohana lipine washi. Makemake au e hoʻopaʻa i ka lipine washi ma luna o ke sila o kaʻu mau envelopes; E kōkua paha kēia i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka sila akā e hoʻomāmā ʻole ʻia ka envelopp, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole wau i kaha kiʻi ma luna. Hiki i ka lipine Washi ke kōkua i ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i ka puke pepa maʻamau a i ʻole ka pepa paʻi inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻohana ana i nā palapala leʻaleʻa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ka lipine washi ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole ma nā hale kūʻai hana lima.
  • Ke hoʻohana nei i nā palapala leʻaleʻa a i ʻole kāleka. Ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia au me kahi hoa peni ma ka hale kūʻai palapala, a loaʻa iā ia nā kāleka ʻoluʻolu loa. Ua hoʻouna mai ʻo ia iaʻu i kahi kāleka a me ka enveloppe e like me kahi ʻāpana pizza! ʻOkoʻa nō hoʻi nā leka leka, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻouna pololei iā lākou mai kahi āu e kipa nei. Hiki iā ʻoe ke paʻi i nā kiʻi āu i lawe pololei ai ma nā kāleka a i ʻole e hoʻopaʻa iā lākou ma ke kāleka. He kanaka paʻi kiʻi maikaʻi koʻu makuahine a ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana i kēia; Manaʻo wau he manaʻo maikaʻi loa.

He mea paʻakikī paha ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka "maila snail," akā eia kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo pehea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kākau leka inā pilikia ʻoe i ka hoʻomaka ʻana:

  • Mai nānā i ka nui. Me nā leka, ʻo ka manaʻo ka mea nui, ʻaʻole ka lōʻihi o ka leka a i ʻole ka helu huaʻōlelo. Mai manaʻo e pono ʻoe e kākau i kahi puke no ka hoʻouna ʻana i kahi leka. ʻOiai he mea maʻalahi e like me "Makemake wale e ʻōlelo ke noʻonoʻo nei au iā ʻoe," a i ʻole "Hauʻoli lā hānau!" ua lawa.
  • E kiʻi i nā lako leʻaleʻa. E kūʻai i kekahi nā peʻa leʻaleʻa mai USPS, a e ho'āʻo e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā penikala a i ʻole nā ​​penikala (a i ʻole nā ​​māka a i ʻole nā ​​mea āu e manaʻo ai he ʻoluʻolu loa ke kākau ʻana) i mākaukau e hoʻohana. Inā ʻaʻohe ou lipine washi a i ʻole kekahi mea leʻaleʻa, e kūʻai mai i kekahi mai Etsy a i ʻole kahi hale kūʻai hana. A e ʻimi i nā kāleka leʻaleʻa. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kekahi o kaʻu lā hānau punahele a me nā kāleka male ma Trader Joe's, manaʻoʻiʻo a ʻaʻole paha.
  • E koho i kahi manawa e hoʻouna ai i ka leka. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kumu no ka lā hānau a i ʻole lā hoʻomaha paha ke kōkua i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana iā ʻoe e hoʻopuka koke i kēlā kāleka a i ʻole ka leka ma mua o ka wā ma hope, a inā manaʻo ʻole ʻoe i ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka leka kino no kekahi kumu, e kōkua pū paha ia e hōʻoluʻolu i kou mau aʻalolo.
  • Nanea iā ia! Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e leʻaleʻa, ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e hoʻomau i ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā leka, a ʻaʻole paha e hauʻoli ka poʻe e loaʻa iā ʻoe i ka loaʻa ʻana o kāu mau leka e like me lākou inā ʻoe e hauʻoli nei i ka hoʻouna ʻana iā lākou.
