Tonight I dressed as myself for halloween to pass out the candy.

Finally got to see my grandchildren who play soccer, play. My two granddaughter's played against each other and then my grandson

played.

About 20 years ago my husband and I bought a patio set made with PVC. We loved the set and it has lasted, except the cushions and the sling that the cushions sit on got old. Maybe 6 or so years ago I found new slings here in Hawaii but never got around to getting the cushions. Then about 3 months ago the top of the table fell off and the grand kids broke the legs. Being the stubborn person that I am I began the hunt to repair the set before the kids throw it away. I found a place in Florida that make this type of furniture. So I got new legs for the table, new slings and cushions for the chairs. And I got a beach chair, that is totally awesome. Shipping sucked but I love the set.

Okinanwan Festival '08

My obsession with the Mr. Moon, as I've taught my grandchildren to call it.

Hokule'a

The Hokule'a is visiting Kahana Bay. I've seen it there for a couple of days now and finially stopped there to take a picture of it.

Wyoming grandson

Saw this mongoose at KCC and had to take a picture of it. I'm sure it was trying to tell me to go away!!!

Korean Festival '08

This young man thought I was a crazy old lady when I asked him if he had a email adress. Then I explained that I had taken a few pictures of him surfing.

One very early morning at Kakaako Park, I saw this airplane passing the moon and was lucky enough to take a picutre of it. Almost missed it.

More of the Manoa Falls trail.

The stream with a little water fall.

There are ferns growing all over the place, like this one.

Manoa falls trail.

I grew up in Manoa Valley and it sure didn't look like this. There were not many high rise buildings. I guess this ages me.

Looking at the back of Manoa Valley, towards the falls.

An afternoon in Manoa. The entrance to the Chinese cemetary.
