APEC farewell party

Aloha, friends! The APEC farewell party at the Hawai’i Convention Center last night was a nice affair.  It was hosted by the APEC host committee to thank all the volunteers who worked long and hard to make the convention an international success.  Entertainment was provided by us, Brother Noland & his band, and Kawika Trask. …

Wet Manoa night!

Good morning, all … Boy did it rain hard last night … there was even thunder & lightning!  I’m sure there was some minor flooding here in Manoa but hopefully nothing was damaged.  And if you’re thinking about visiting Manoa Falls today – DON’T!  I know a lot of our visitor friends who were here …

Aloha Monday, Dec. 12th

Ahhh, it’s amazing what having a day off will do for your body & spirit!  I feel so much better today … the cold symptoms are pretty much gone and I’m actually being nice to the puppies!  haha!  Except for a short lunch trip to Andy’s in Manoa, I pretty much stayed a couch potato …

Mellow Sunday
