Lahaina Fire and Jessica’s Art

It’s been so sad to see the fire that destroyed not only the business district (Front Street) in Lahania but all the homes, and the loss of life. There are still hundreds that are missing. We really love Maui, and even though we don’t stay in Lahaina we always visit every time we are there.…

A lesson on just “being”

This year’s vacation was a lesson on just “being” for both of us.  This was not something I wanted to do; It’s something I had no control over. Dave and I flew into Maui on the 11th. On the way to the rental car shuttle I fell. I had fallen several years ago in the…
