Frank & Friends Show 0057

Frank Murphy’s wife Jere is filling in for Kathryn Frady. Frank and Jere are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Each year, they both try to be the first to say “Happy Flag Day” to the other. 

Frank had a discount code from Amazon for $10 off an order that would be shipped to an Amazon Locker at Whole Foods. He tried to order HVAC filters but was told those were too large for a locker. Instead he bought two packages of bronzer. 

Jere was away for three weeks. She brought two of their grandsons to Tennessee with her to stay for a week. When the two boys leave, their eldest grandson, Artie Rocket, will arrive for a two-week stay. 

Frank thinks Jere didn’t tell him about her plans for them to travel to Northern Virginia together when it’s time to bring Artie home. There were several ideas proposed, including taking Artie to North Carolina while his dad was there on a business trip. Frank was happier about traveling when they decided to stay in a cheap hotel rather than with family. While the idea was being discussed, Jere went into the other room and made the hotel reservations. 

Frank sent Jere a screenshot from The Deal Guy’s latest video about ALDI. Frank thought they should get a fire safe for their documents and passports. Jere bought it as their anniversary gift to each other. 

Jere reminisces about their “second honeymoon” on their tenth anniversary. At a silent auction at the National Press Club in DC, Frank’s mom had purchased a stay at a condo resort on the island of Molokai. She offered it to Frank & Jere but then decided that she would like to go to Molokai with them. Frank’s grandmother also decided to go, as did one of Frank’s sisters and her husband and his mother. Frank got cheap airfare by purchasing unused seats on a charter flight. 

There were complications with the return flight, resulting in an extended layover in Honolulu. Frank’s grandmother said she wanted to see the hand of Fr. Damien De Veuster (now Saint Damien) which was on display in a series of Catholic parishes in Honolulu before it would be buried in Damien’s original grave on Molokai. Frank used a payphone and a phone book to call at least five parishes in search of the hand. They ultimately saw the box that contained the hand on display at the cathedral.
