S U N S E T S

.... even when cloudy there is something about a sunset ~ the closing of another day! I have had an incredible stay in Maui. I've read 6.5 books (impressed even myself, b/c Doug had to go out and buy me 2 more books before he left) ..... learned lessons, perspectives altered, relaxed, celebrated a milestone of marriage, walked and talked .... last full day here ~ sunsets they absolutely talk to me .... even when it's cloudy. m'

shave ice .... Kihei Style!! oh my!!!

One of the most delightful treats on Maui is .... shave ice! They have lots of flavors ... my favO'rite is the mango/pineapple. It's so tasty .... that all you need is a small. It transports me back to my early childhood ~ I used to sit with a pieplate full of crushed ice ~~~ this is waaaaaaaaaaay more tasty!! yummy and I got to share it with my MIL & FIL (they delighted in a cherry shave ice!) Aloha, m'

Terrific Tuesday

So, what do YOU have planned for terrific Tuesday? You gotta have a plan. Let's see ... my plan ... had my QT (outside with a large cup of coffee) .... made some pink lemonade for the day ... walk the beach ... and soak up some sun ..... the list is long ~ hope you have a great day. Aloha, (I have to keep signing this until Friday b/c I won't be here after that!!) m

I know how to get folks to church ....

okay, last night I attended church service the most beautiful Hawai'in women and hunkiest (YES! ladies that is a word) gorgeous piped-maui built young men hula (ed) to worship songs that you and I love to sing ...... I was speechless .... and better yet, I got photos!!! I'll post them when I get home .. the Hawai'ian colors the incredible native "costume" ..... wow!!! now, if that doesn't intrigue you all ........ so, I vote we get the group-troup to tour the USA and I assure you most positively THAT CHURCH ATTENDANCE WILL SKYROCKET. Aloha, m' ..... sorry I had forgot about that until I was reviewing my photos (almost 500 totality!!)

Monday Ponderings .... still in MAUI

the beginning of a new week ... Doug is home and back in the saddle with work (he really truly does NOT like horseback riding!) ... and I've decided I have a spa-like retreat right here in Maui. Let me explain specifically .... my AM walks exfoliate and pumice stone my feet with the brown-sugared colored sand. I leisurely sunbathe - exfoliating dead skin cells and swim for exercise ... heaven knows I need that in my life ... God speaks (for those of you that have received what I've passed along ~ I hope I'm not a bother) .... then socializing with folks from all over the world! what a journey ... what lessons I've received .... what a blessing! I'm anticipating going to get shave ice tomorrow ~~~~~~~~~~ canteloupe ~~~~~~~~~ is my faveO'rite!! Aloha, m'

Sunday Adventures on MAUI

Okay, there's a 'blue roofed' church on a major intersection in Maui and they are advertising the guest speaker tonight. It's a preacher I've only heard before (and I do enjoy his preaching)... and happens to be way out-of- state from me .... so my Sunday adventure will be to go and listen to him preach. Hope you all have a great week ..... I'm coming home on Friday night! Aloha, m'
