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”

Swimming with Radar

I love turtles. It all started when we moved here. One day I walked out to the driveway and there was a turtle. I took a picture of him for evidence since Dave was not home and I figured he’d never believe me. Here is his picture on my scrapbook page from 2007. Since then,…
