Our Last Tuesday

Ah, the Spirit of Aloha: palms clacking, surf rolling, birds singing;

Katie, my yoga teacher quoted Mary Oliver, " if you can sing, Do it!"

We are loose ends this week. Weather and activities may not dovetail. I offer to run Dan around today and he accepts:)

After our respective breakfasts, we drive to the library, maybe by adding a new card, i can continue reading! But the fee is $25. For 5 years and won't predictable fix my FVRL stuff.

We toodle into Hanalei town and I text Ed we are here!

The girls and I are going shopping and the guys are coming too:) hanalei Paddler nets us gold! I buy a billabong skirt. Marilyn buys a bright yellow soft top and i offer to buy topaz earrings to match! We go to Robin who has the perfect stone.

They want Bubba Burgers and I am craving an Island Fish Sandwich. 

Off to the pier we go, the sun is sprouting:) ed wants to run on the pretty Hanalei Bay crescent and he takes Pikgrim. 

As we stroll we loose sight of them! Make a Wish has set up a tent and Mr P stops to visit Amelia, a child sitting in the sand stretching her srms open to enfold him. Her leg braces lay beside ger thin lifeless limbs. She is from baltimore.

We move onto the Waipa Farmers Market and buy LAsagna for supper.

Ed telks the Hawaiian, next year less Costco, More Market! 

Relax Deeply at 5:30 and Dan comes for me, low blood sugar. The ribs our fruends were cooking did not happen within the framework he had hoped for.

A dinner for three on the labai with candlelightand a sweet Aloha.

We have invited our neighbors to breakfast and borrowed a waffle iron from housekeeping. Taro waffles with coconut syrup and a platter of papaya, pineapple and bananas;)

 Our friends come to Trick or Treat but we are too tired to go walking.

Mahalo
