Happy Independence Day!

Aloha Friends!

I was happily surprised when I logged into the website this afternoon! As you may have noticed, I have been having major issues with the blog. It was nearly impossible to update my diary with new posts because the background was black! Like typing in the dark. My last few posts at the end of 2018 were very difficult. I had contacted the host, who wasn’t able to offer any hope. But, today we’re back to a white background! Yay! I’m stoked to get back to blogging.

Happy Independence Day everyone! We’re having a great day here on Kauai. Barbecue is on, potato salad made, fireworks bought and smores for later. Here’s a few photos from today...

Aloha friends,

Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas! We went down to Kalapaki bay this afternoon to see the sand sculpture....it made front page news in the local newspaper. The sculpture held up well despite the 2” of rain we got last night! Here’s hoping that all of you held up just as well through the Christmas craziness! Mele Kalikimaka!

Kauai Holiday Light Parade

Aloha friends,
Every year Kauai celebrates the holidays with the Lights on Rice Parade. I’ve always wanted to go as I’ve heard it was quite spectacular. This year we finally got to attend. There were 61 decorated floats and about 13,000 spectators. It was so much fun!

This is the float with the snow....it was actually bubbles. The kids loved it.

Lots of folks were making an evening of it, packing in dinner picnic style. I think we may do that next year. If you’re on island during the light parade, I highly recommend you check it out.

​Thanks for reading my diary!

Happy Halloween from Kauai!

Aloha Friends!

​Happy Halloween! It’s been a beautiful day here on Kauai. I don’t know if I told you but, last year it poured rain. So much so that we even got flash flood warnings! This year is quite the opposite. Sun is shining and we’re having a good time! The kids carved a couple pumpkins and I carved a pineapple. This evening we’ll go trick-or-treating. I hope you all are having a fun day too!

Happy 2018!

Aloha friends and happy new year!
For a brief time, fireworks are sold everywhere here on Kauai. All the grocery stores, Walmart,  even Costco was selling a huge box as tall as me! So, we thought it might be fun to do something a little different this New Year's Eve...we played with sparklers at the beach.
Picture
Early in the evening we walked out to the beach and collected driftwood. My husband made a small fire. As we sat and watched the sunset the fire kept our toes toasty. After nightfall the kids were eager to light the sparklers. We had fun watching them laugh and play in the colorful night. My hubby and I lit a few too!

It was of my best New Years ever! We all had a great time!

Happy new year everyone! Wishing you peace and much aloha in 2018.

Merry Christmas all!

I hope that you all are enjoying a nice holiday with those you love. On Kauai the weather warmed up just in time for us to have a Christmas eve picnic on the beach. We stopped by Foodland for sushi, poi and fried chicken then headed over to Lydgate beach. I know, strange food combination but, it was tasty!

​Lydgate beach was full of visitors soaking up the sunshine and playing in the water. The sun felt so good! As I was lounging on the sand I looked up towards the horizon and saw whales! They looked like they were having such a great time! Doing giant whale belly flops into the water, making huge splashes as they landed! So much fun to watch. It felt like an early Christmas gift.

Turkey Spam!

Aloha friends,

I hope that you all enjoyed a blessed holiday. Just in case you didn't get enough turkey on Thanksgiving, we found turkey Spam at the Kauai Walmart! I like Spam but this might be a bit over the top for me. Roasted Spam anyone?

Aloha and happy Halloween friends!

We carved a pineapple this year as well as a few pumpkins. Lots of spooky fun going on here!
Picture
You'll enjoy carving a pineapple. They seem to have such a personality with their crazy hair! This year I tried to make the pineapple appear joyful with a big toothy grin. If you want to take a peak at instructions, see my October 2013 post.

Best wishes to you all for a safe and happy Halloween!
Aloha :)

Happy Easter Friends!

I never realized how filling chocolate and hard boiled eggs were until this morning! And both pair nicely with a cup of coffee!

I hope that you all enjoyed a beautiful Sunday!

Aloha!
