BRAGGING RIGHTS: JA and LE

So... Equal time for the little ones in Omaha. Aren't they GORGEOUS! And brilliant and perfect!

READING IN KAUA'I

Some great book finds for this trip: Cain's Version, A Novel by Frank Durham is my current read. Clever and mystic and intriguing. I recently finished A Happy Marriage by Rafael Yglesias, so I'm 2-for-2 with some good reads.

I have a stack of books here with me in Kaua'i, but we have been so active with hikes and climbs and power walks that it hasn't left as much time for reading as I calculated. That's o.k., though.

EXPERIENCING KAUA'I: part 5

Our first time to eat in the villa—we make a fruit salad with PM+MM’s fruit basket leftovers and our pickings from the Hanalei Farmer’s Market. We have apple bananas, star fruit, papaya, mango, a red apple, a kiwi, and pineapple. A beautiful fruit salad and a fun breakfast.

My dream cottage in Wai'mea

Today is MK’s 31st birthday, and we talk to her. DM, MK, and the little girls flew to Houston today to visit friends. DM had arranged for flowers and a birthday cake to greet MK on arrival at their friends’ house. Sweet. We are missing them and JE’s family, but everyone is doing well and God is good and gracious to our family.

Today was to be a quieter day.
