Well, I wasn’t going to say anything for a couple of reasons. One—we would surely get judged for our decision and two, we weren’t even sure what we were going to do ourselves. It’s been a wait-and-see game without a doubt. For some of you also, I’m guessing. See, we happen to LOVE travelling, specifically …

Another Christmas Season Come and Gone…
The only ornament on our tree for Christmas. Here’s hoping that next year I can change it to, ‘Baby, it’s Hawaii outside!”. It really is hard to believe that another holiday season is coming to a close. Different as it was, it was something to look forward to and soon, there will be that familiar …
A Reminder of Hawaii

The 40-Year-Old… Rabbits
Pete and Cindy, the Velcro Bunnies When presented with today's word prompt, Pairs, a number of things came to mind including my all-time favourite food pairings and a favoured pair of capri pants. If you really stop and think about it, the world around us is filled with all kinds of pairs. Upon reflection, I …
Ocean Waters
Is there anything better than watching and listening to the sound of the ocean waves like the ones below? While on vacation, my husband and I have spent countless hours on our lanai mesmerized by the everchanging curls and splashes of the South Pacific waters against the shoreline.

The Ocean’s Sweet Lullaby
I close my eyes, I hear the sounds, The swooshing, the whooshing, Of the salt water tide. It's soft, it's bendy, It's music to my ears, I imagine it's wise beyond its years. The soothing, the lulling, Nearly puts me to sleep, A dreamland of water, Forever mine to keep:-).
Suffering Succatash
When I was little I used to watch the Sylvester and Tweety Show, and I loved both characters. I even begged my parents to let me get a light fixture with them on it for my bedroom. I used it for the longest time. As we near the last bit of our much-anticipated Hawaiian vacation, …
“Angry Bee Guy” Alert System
A couple of days ago, I wrote about my encounter with a cockroach and praying mantis, but I haven't yet spoke of the bees here in Hawaii. Thankfully, I have escaped an up-close, and personal experience with one, but they are worth talking about just the same. If you saw one, you'd know why I …
