Often you can find the three couples together during the evening, playing cards and eating pupu's(snacks). The ladies have been great fun; Judy(middle)may just be the most adventuresome of the three of us and Peggy is just plain fun to tease. I would pick out the most outrageous jewelry and clothes for her and we would just giggle.

The beauty of the Islands is incredible and I do understand why people would relocate here to live. My sweet hubby would be one of them, if we could. However, with only one main road going from one end to the other, traffic can become an issue. Yesterday there was a minor accident that brought traffic to a standstill and we sat for about 20 minutes. I'm just thankful we are able to relax and not worry about being late for anything. Our weather has been wonderful and perfect for a being out and about. Today looks like more of the same....yippee!

This bird was is beautiful; we don't know what type it is although it resembles the Cardinals we've seen here. The colors are both muted and bright and it reminds me of a Canary with the orange. We've been blessed with Doves, Juncos, Sparrows, Minah birds, Pigeons and this little one, by far, took my breath away. The other day while walking I saw some small finch type birds that we equally beautiful with a rich copper colored body. I'm hoping to get some photos this morning.

Well friends, our time is winding down and although it will be so good to head home to all our babies, leaving this island always is a bit sad because we are never sure how soon we'll be back-so in the time left we'll make the most of it.

Have a blessed weekend.
