Wednesday May 1 from noon- 1pm come join me ....(bring your own lunch =) Just a fun way to break up the work day or get out of the house to chat and learn something new. See Flourish for the details.
Okay...just a warning....you may see a lot of Beach pictures.
These pictures were taken at the end of the road....as far North as you can drive, past Princeville.
Close to wet caves and Ke'e Beach.
The beach below our villa where we were staying. The water was only about two feet deep clear out to the deep blue, plus it had awesome trees for shade.
Looking down from our resort.
Best: Spouting Horn- waves force air out of an opening in a lava tube, producing strange sounds while spray is forced out of another opening close by. Lawa'i Bay.
We were sitting at Bubba's hambuger place ( in Hanalei, South Pacific was filmed there} .....when a women across the street...yells what I think is my name....she is looking right at me waving, pointing, waving and pointing all the time saying Teresa.....so, I wave back. (because there was no one behind me so I thought Ok sure, don't want her to feel bad. =} Then she walks over to me and says...
"Hi, you don't know me but my name is Rachael and I follow your blog!"
Oh my goodness small world. We had a short visit and then she left with her family....and I could kick myself....I didn't get a picture! I think it just took me by surprise.
Fun world.
Best: Treat shaved ice with ice-cream on the bottom and sweet milk on the top. We liked the one next to the food land store in Princeville the best.
( parts of Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed in this garden.)
Not sure how I got the bended light on the photo....kind of cool.
Best: Rainbow - it does rain a lot in Kauai, especially where we stayed in Princeville.
Best: Hot Dog - Puka Dog Hawaiian style hot dog...they take warm bread make a center in it add a polish sausage, sweet mustard and your choice of relish- I choose the mango relish...I have to say I liked it....and I'm not a big Hot dog fan. We mainly went there because Kent told us too. =)
Best:Rooster- if there can be such a thing! We actually hated disliked the Roosters. There were a few that like to sit under our window and start crowing around 4:30 am....Thank you very much! (thanks to the lady that thought they were cute and gave them treats....guess where they liked to hang out.} By the way the Roosters and chickens are everywhere on the island...just so you know. =)
Best: Dinner and Sunset- St. Regis Princeville- The Regis has ties with The Westin so we visited them once in a while too. Easy to get to...right next to our Villa.
Best: Free concert Madison- Singer, songwriter, Age 14 we enjoyed her concert. Happened on it right next to our resort.
This is what we were up to 35 years ago April 1978....and....
this is us April 2013.....going down King Kong 1200 foot zip line. We did let go of each others hands later and raced down the rest of the way...Danny won.
I have tons to share....but for now I need to go unpack .....be back soon with the rest of the story.
"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no good, Very Bad Day"?
Well, I had the opposite kind of day.
My story book would be called....
"Teresa and the wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy Day"?
...how can you not have an awesome smiley day with these popping out around you?!
I dare you not to smile when you see these Peony pictures...
I can't, I can't!
Makes me smile every-time!
Prepare for a Peony explosion! You face will thank me later =) Smile big-
It's been a wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy Day
See, I told you! Awesome day- if you were all here, I would send one Home with you to enjoy....seriously! They fade fast and You just have to take it all in with the little time they are here!
Now that you are smiling...how about a big laugh?
An Explosion of Wild Turkeys!
Something big must be happening...all day long they just kept gathering at our home!
Something big is happening! Should I be afraid? =)
It's been a wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy Day"?
Okay and if Peony explosion and Turkey explosion wasn't enough to make a great day.....why not top it off with a visit from a friend, vintage shopping and....{I will tell you about the "and" part at the end. =)
We just happened to visit during their Spring Open House...which meant a chocolate fountain , cookies and treats...
I found an awesome vintage bird cage and stand....soon to be placed at Flourish!
It's been a wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy Day"?
Smoothies for the ride home....
and now the "and" part.
And.... we hung out laughing and dreaming on the hammock . (let me just tell you, it is harder than it looks to sit and relax on a hammock....it takes skills....truly!}
So, there you have it.
"Teresa and the wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy
Day"
Or
Teresa and Sandi's wonderful, lovely, feel good, Very Happy Day!
He was twenty one when he took my trembling hand across the Holy alter at the Manti Temple, I was still a girl. A Girl who hid shy with low self esteem and was swallowed down with fear of not being good enough. He changed all that....I love him.
When I tell people we have been married for 35 years they can't believe it...not sure why....seems like yesterday to me....but then again, a life time ago when we started our journey.
Today I would like to share 35 habits we practice and enjoy that I believe keeps us holding hands and looking for each others eyes in the crowd.... just to pass a look that says....I see you.
