Thurs Jan 11 Update

Would you believe this is Hawaii? Maggie and Faye and Steve and Mary will recognize the first two as on the way into ‘our favorite hike.’ NO TOURIST would ever find this place! The last picture is Jo with the lighthouse in the background. This was the beginning of ‘our favorite hike.’

Sam forgot his camera and had to go back to the car to get it. As he was coming back it rained on him. We get momentary showers frequently. We teased him about wearing an outfit so that we’d never be able to lose him in a crowd. We were certainly in no crowd. Nobody was there but us! There were some cows; 4 just stood and stared like they’d never seen people before and a bull took one look at us and ran!

We had a great hike, and then when we sat down to eat lunch a shower caught up with us. We just walked out of it. The showers are too funny.

After our hike we went back out to the Old Coast Guard Beach and the whales and waves put on an awesome show for us! The whales even breached. We were beside ourselves! It was a 10 day!

Tomorrow Sam is scheduled to go out on a fishing charter, but the rest of us don’t have good stomachs for such an adventure. We’re going to drop him off at the boat and go tour Kona while he fishes. We need to get groceries, etc., so we’ll get some details covered.

All is good here. It was kind of funny to watch my hair go blowing by as we sat at the beach watching the waves and whales. It wasn’t so funny when I came back to order a wig and none of the ones I like come in my size. I guess I’ll buy a scarf. There still seems to be a lot of hair on my head, but eventually it’s got to be gone, I think. We’re going to have a good example of God’s sense of humor with this no hair thing.

Love you all!
