It is hard to believe that it was just a week and a half ago that we were in Kauai. The days pass so quickly, reminds me we need to savor each moment. On the last day, hubby and I drove to the old Pier near the airport. As many times as we've been to this island, we never had ventured here.

There were some locals fishing-it reminded me of what it must have been like decades ago.

I do love visiting this island, but I love being home. I had such fun with the granddaughters sewing this week and watching a movie with two grandsons-it warms my heart.
 The weekend was pretty relaxing~I took my neighbor to a local store that is only open two weekends per month. They have all sorts of accessories and the prices are so cheap.  I bought a necklace and earring set that was marked $11.95, but because I brought a friend, I got five dollars off.  Hubby and I went and toured a new vet clinic that is about 1 mile away from our house.  We were very impressed with the state of the art technology they have; they are big proponents of getting your dogs teeth cleaned annually.  I didn't ask what a new client work up would be, but I'm sure it will be pricey.  Hunter is fine where we go, it is just a bit of a drive now. 
Yesterday I had a pretty relaxed day; hubby had to work and so I've was on the computer, took Hunter for a walk, took a nap-but didn't really sleep, watched the 49'er game and worked on my quilting. 
Today I will see my doctor and see what he suggests about my blood pressure.  I am happy to announce that it has been going down slowly, but is still higher than normal.  Since we will be heading to Leadville this week, I don't want any issues with it, due to altitude.
I hope you had a great weekend and are sensing the changing of the seasons.
Blessings,
Noreen & Hunter

Enjoying Paradise

Aloha Friends, I am still unable to upload photos here, so used one from our last visit. This trip has been so different from our previous trips-much more laid back, but with lots of adventures. The weather has been mixed- sunshine with lots of rain. We have taken a lot of great shots and I can't wait to share them.

One of the coolest things about this island is all the chickens and roosters running around.
We've gone to new beaches-Larsen's, Arch, Sealodge and the beach near Bali Hai to name a few. Hit our favorite eateries and had local fish, which included Poke for me-not going to repeat that one dish. Some interesting things were my getting overheated on a hike on Friday; it was scary and I hope to never repeat it. I have also gotten eating alive by Mosquitos yesterday-both legs are covered in bites. This occurred on our hike in which I slipped in the mud. Now I am itching non-stop. While we live being here, with all the weird things going on  with nature, I'm ready to be home; hubby is not.  Have a blessed day!
Hugs,
Noreen
