Friends and family in Alaska and Canada have been losing power in snow storms today, and I think my post yesterday made some folks sad, so I thought I’d brighten things up with a short tour of Hawaii. The Wallet, I mean, my dad sent mom & I on a vacation after she recovered from an accident last year. We flew to Hawaii after Thanksgiving in Alaska last year, then spent Christmas and New Years with my sis in Arizona (Happy Birthday today, sis!).

Thank you, Heather! that’s just what I was trying for. It can be found if we dig deep enough:>) I’m hoping for the day when happiness is right at the surface and easily accessible, without all that digging! :>) love you!

Beautiful photos! I can see why you and your mum would want to live there (h*ll, I would want to live there!)

Yes, it stays in the 60-70’s, with ocean everywhere and green, bursting with flowers!

Kauai. Birds of paradise and plumeria. I will never forget the smell of plumeria blossoms and haven’t been there since 1989. I loved the humid tropical beauty, waterfalls, misty rain, and on the main island, the Japanese Buddhist temples. Here is was oddly 60 degrees two days ago. 0 degrees forecast for tonight. Keeps the body guessing, but thanks to your images, I’m in an imaginative green paradise. Thanks, Patti.

The name plumeria escaped my mind at the last moment and so I left it unnamed, thank you for that!
Glad to send you on a green paradise vacation in your heart and mind:>)
