A Little bit of Hawai'i

I know it's been awhile since I've written anything, but my hubby and I are enjoying a relaxing and fun holiday/honeymoon on the beautiful island of Oahu in Hawai'i.

Here's a few pics from our time so far here. There will be more photos to come of my big birthday celebration at the Polynesion Cultural Centre.
We stayed at a very nice hotel 2 blocks from the beach with a big swimming pool and cabana bar beside it. We celebrated the New Year watching the sun set on the beach and later on saw a grande display of fireworks!

It hs been so beautiful and relaxing here. I'd recommend this holiday to anyone.

I was wondering when we'd see you in Hawaii!!! Looks like fun. I'll start applying the self-tanner for your arrival home.

As footnote: I am putting together a menu of various snacky foods like stinky (a.k.a. sticky) garlic chicken, ribs (with tsaziki, homemade), perhaps potato skins, crackers with Boursin...that sort of thing for one day when you are home.

Also, plan to make you some of my (famous?) stromboli's and perhaps, just perhaps, I shall make you pumpkin chiffon.

It looks so beautiful there, but I think you should get Glenna's self tanner on to Leigh! Hard to believe he has been working at a pool this summer. Sorry we missed you tonight. Have a great flight back to Canada, and we will talk to you soon.

Carlene, that is just too funny! Of course he can borrow the self-tanner and all but I choked on my coffee when I read your comment.

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
