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.

  1. I so enjoy every time I come here. You are such a delight in my life when you visit me too...so encouraging, inspiring and uplifting.

    I love the pictures. So peaceful. I'm putting myself there right now as I sit with my laptop on the couch with my head leaned back and my eyes closed as I type this. Deep breaths in and released. Ahhhhhh. Thank you sweet friend.

    Love you and enjoy the remaining time you have there. Take a twirl in the sand by the ocean for me and lift your hands high in the air to the glory of the Lord...that is something I've always wanted to do, but have never been able to...never been to the ocean but that is something I see myself doing some day. Hearing the water hit the high rocks, the warm sunlight hitting softly upon my face, warm breeze blowing and me twirling around in my bare feet along the ocean side with hands lifted high in the air to Him...yes that is what I see.

    Love you my friend.

    Big Hugs,

  2. It looks like you're having a great time. Enjoy it while you can. It's great to have girl friends to spend time with and not be rushed either.

    Love you,

  5. Hi Noreen,
    Nice shots of Kauai, brings back good memories. Looks like you are having a fun time with your friends,
    that is a good thing. Hope you enjoy your the rest of your trip and have nice weather as well.
    When we were there our Dee was only 5 and our son was 12, and Jim and I were some enamored with the beauty of the place we looked at each other and said, said lets just send for the kids and not go home!! sounded good but we have lived in KeyWest
    and we know there is such a thing as Rock fever!! lol Cause there is not many places to go to shop,
    and sometimes you just feel like you need to get off the Island!! lol Course, we were much younger then, we have become a lot more content in our old age!! lol so we might could pull it off now, but I wouldn't want to go there unless our kids could come too!!
    You have a great time the rest of the days you have there sweet friend, and then you get to go home and see that sweet new grandbaby!! How fun!
    Blessings Galore Sweetie,
    Nellie

  11. I would love to live in Hawaii too. I cannot imagine that beauty everyday. We have been to Maui and would like to return.

    I love your birds pictures too. I agree it kind of looks like a cardinal. We enjoy seeing the cardinals when we are home in Nebraska but we have never saw one here in Oregon.

    Thanks for sharing

    Have a safe trip home and enjoy the grandkids.

    Blessings & Hugs
