What time of the year did you go.  

It was in April for my Birthday.  

[grapau27]

We liked Kauai Hawaii and did the movie tour.

This was the hospital from South Pacific and the beach they sang I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair.

[Luckynana]

I  wound up power washing for about 3 and a half hours, starting around 9:30 this morning.    Not only was I very filthy....my feet and legs were totally black!!  I am quite spent...

I hope Caden is successful in selling his flowers - Good Luck to Caden!!     Does he plan on selling the plants or fresh picked flowers?

I have to look at tags but it's either the Amish paste or Delicious that our out growing the others.     

I have some eggplants that look really good too. 

My green beans are doing well and should have a batch to pick in a week or less.    They were the only thing that seemed like a slow start   Maybe because I planted the seed when the temps were still going up and down between 50's and 60's, but they like cold weather

 Not sure if picked or plants.  Around Mothers day they sold several boutiques.   Sharon has bought several plants.

I never found time to start the peas and beans.  Both say they are cold and heat tolerant. We will see.  If they bomb I can plant some later.  I plan to try some late Brussel Sprouts.

Aww look at these angels.  Your stories about their mischief can’t possibly be true 😉!

Also, that steak & shrimp dinner looked delicious.

It’s been a couple weeks since coming home from Hawaii.  Finally getting around to my photos.  I don’t want to bore you with tons of them but here’s a few to share.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think there can ever be a boring pic of Hawaii.  

[Ozark_Kid]

@Sea Dog Greg, I think I remember you saying the Grandkids will love the Alaska pics. The other day I showed Caden.  As I started showing the pics he would say, Gpa, that's a blue ribbon.  Several pics, Gpa blue ribbon.   Last year he entered pics in the fair and won some blue ribbons. Then he saw one and said Oooooh Gpa, PURPLE.  I said, what's purple? Very rare Gpa, very rare.  The next day he was out taking pics so he could enter some in this year's fair.

Beautiful photos.  I recognize many of those places.  
 

It looks like you made the hike up Diamond Head to take a couple of them.  
 

All the islands have their own, unique charm.  Still, I think Maui is my favorite.

Mark, how do u feel?

I still feel about the same, with just cold symptoms.  After two negative tests the last couple days, I got one of these this morning.  

 

I have been staying away from everyone, because even if it was a cold, I didn’t want to pass it on.  I guess I will just miss out on a few fun things for a few days. 
 

I just hope I wasn’t contagious when my son flew to Europe Friday morning.  I would hate for him to have to deal with it while there. 
 

Thanks for asking, Dani.

What were you power washing. 

I was only going to power wash the concrete joints around the pool to get the annoying weeds that gather there before we get the pool opened next week; but then I proceeded to wash the pavers that lead from the barbeque to the driveway.

It was $4.74 here last week.  I haven't passed a gas station this week yet.  Kind of scary to find out!

I love your Caden conversations, John!  Thank you for sharing!🥰

Feel better soon.  Hope your symptoms don't get to bad and everyone else stays negative.

I hope you start feeling better quickly, Mark.  I hope Susan and your grandson fare well.

How are you and your DH feeling?

[Arzeena]

 

Always kiss me goodnight.

[Arzeena]

Mark, I hope you get well soon.

I apologize if I haven't sent get well wishes to anyone, so I wish all our ailing family members well and hope for negatives soon.

[Arzeena]

I cannot get myself to move from this bird cage. I want them and I want them badly, but RJ says they will not survive with all the traveling we do and it is absolutely cruel to leave them at home. So I will just be happy with all the pictures I took of them. 

I really want them....but cannot get them....

Now I know how a child feels in a toy store.

We always had parakeets when I was a kid.  They were fun!

Love the pics.

I hate that our Hawaii cruise got canceled.  Afterwards we are wondering if it would be better just to fly there and enjoy.  We need to research. 

The Hawaii cruise would have been fun but we said heck with it and just go anyway.  I hope you will get a chance to go.

Lovely photos of Hawaii.  My “kids” are spending 5 days there in August.  First time holidaying together by themselves and first visit to Hawaii.

That's great!  I hope they have a fabulous time.  Which island are they going to?

1 hour ago, Keksie said:

Probably 20 years ago I did that.  I picked the Big Island to explore all the way around.  It was a lot of fun.  Stayed in Kona first and explored north, did a flume ride, swam with turtles, went to a luau.  Headed south, saw a lot of scenery and stayed at the volcano (not sure if that is possible now).   We took a helicopter ride, explored all the park, bought a sweatshirt since I was freezing.  Then we drove to Hilo where we explored the gardens and took a horseback ride.  The only thing we didn't do was drive through the center of the island since the rental car company would not have been pleased if they found out.   

So much to see in the Big Island.   Did you drive the Road to Hilo?  That's a nerve-wracking drive.  LOL.  But beautiful with all the waterfalls.

I agree.  Each island is special and beautiful in its own way.  So lush and water is so blue.

How are you and your DH feeling?

 

I am improving, still testing positive though.  Cough is hanging on and I have no stamina but at least I was motivated enough to do laundry today for the first time since we left on May 14th!  DH is coughing and exhausted, but he only has a fever for less than a day.  He talked to his doctors office today to see if they want him on the antiviral because of his pre existing conditions, but they don't think he is sick enough for it.  He was able to work most of the day from home, just sat in a virtual meeting, so that is something.  Thanks for asking. 🙂
