On The Road Again and LOT'S more pictures

mary & janet at lunch in Koloa

It is getting harder and harder to keep up here - janet and i are taking soooo many pictures and are gone for so long during the day that is hard to find the opportunity to log on. yesterday, 5/24 we took the day off so to speak, i had to download all the pictures, we had laundry to do, P.O., shopping, and cooking. then of course we had to play mah jongg before bed. it gets rough here sometimes, but somebody has to do it. it has been very breezy here so is a very comfortable sunny and 79° to 82° - it gets much hotter in the sun, but we are having low humidity :-) so all is right with the world.

speaking of which, since we are gone for the ABC 6:30 news w/Diane, of course its on here @12:30, (noon) i haven't a clue what is going on in the world at large. i have to try for CNN, HLN, MSNBC, etc and hope their 4:am and 5:am shows are not nonsense. i did see and hear about the joplin tornado . . . very sad. and more rain for all, that doesn't help either.


we have been all over the North Shore now and today we head to the east shore to Kapaa. those pictures will come another day.

  3. Wow, beautiful Hawaii ... must feel like heaven. I'm enjoying all the fabulous pictures!

    Mary, you're quite an artist. I like the hibiscus. When you get famous I'll say I knew you back when ...

    Enjoy your remaining weeks in paradise : )
