Home at last!

Hi all … we just arrived home and were greeted by 3 crazy puppies!  I will continue my blog tomorrow morning since I’m tired and cranky … Good morning!  I was so tired last night that I crashed out right after I said hello to Alex & Nick and ate a hamburger!  I guess their …

Last day in Vegas

Hi all!  It’s our last day in Vegas – we go home tomorrow – and we’re just cruising all day.  We’re pretty much done with all our shopping and are spending most of our time trying our luck at the tables and slot machines.  I’m pretty much burned out after only 4 days, but Vegas …

The day after …

A very big “Mahalo!” to everyone for your kind birthday wishes!  I had a great time yesterday with Carla, Alex, and the grandmas here in Vegas, and spent the day shopping, gambling, and eating!  We spent some time with our friends Grant & Rae yesterday before they flew back to Hawaii, and Alex flies home …

Vegas

Well, we arrived late yesterday afternoon to a hot, dry, and dusty Las Vegas!  I can’t believe how dry it is here – my skin is itchy and my lips are already starting to chap!  We met up with Alex and Carla’s mom after checking in to the hotel and went to dinner at Billy …

Off to Vegas!

I’m glad you guys liked the photo of our Manoa rainbow – that is the actual photo with no enhancements or touch-ups – people can’t believe that the colors are so clear and vibrant!  Well, I’m off to Vegas this morning with Carla and my mom for a little fun & relaxation!  I will write …

Sunday morning

For some reason I woke up very early – 5:00am – and am sitting here on our lanai in the dark!  I don’t know why I’ve been getting up so early recently, but it’s nice since the mornings are my favorite time of day.  I just listened to the demo of  a new song which …

Late post ..

It’s Saturday evening and I’m just getting around to posting my blog.  Had a busy day with squash in the morning and running errands in the afternoon.  Tomorrow, Nick and I golf with the ManoaDNA Golf Club out at Coral Creek and then I have to pack since we leave for Vegas the next morning.  …

Wow .. it’s Friday again?!

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was saying how fast the days are flying by?  I can’t believe it’s Friday again … so many adventures, so little time!  Anyway, Alex left for Vegas yesterday and is probably still at the blackjack table with his buddies … I can’t believe he said that they were even …

It’s still gloomy!

What the @#$%?! … I was just finishing up this blog when everything was suddenly deleted!!  Now I have to start all over … As I was saying, the skies are still overcast but at least the rain and wind have stopped.  It’s still quite humid so I hope the tradewinds come back real soon …

Rain, rain, rain!

I guess I spoke too soon … the rain and wind from what’s left of Hurricane Felicia have now arrived!  It started pouring late last night and is still going strong this morning.  Everything on our back porch is soaked except for my chair (which I’m sitting in right now!).  I’m watching endless curtains of …
