The frizzy haired lady has a husband! Davy took this picture of the two of us today. Usually it's just Don or I, so I like to have a picture of us together!Davy and Susan went on a whale watching boat today and had a great time. Davy got lots of good pictures, but not a single breach; so, that picture he got yesterday stands as the best, so far. They got lots of close tail and hump shots, though. They learned lots more about the whales, too. So, we're looking forward to our whale watching ride that we will do in Maui.
While they were on the boat we got grocery shopping done. Then we picked them up and went to a beach for a picnic. We went down to the snorkel beach, but they opted to wait for another day that wasn't so voggy. Vog here is a haze that is caused by the volcano pollution in the air. We'd call it haze in any other city. It's been pretty bad ever since we've been here, but especially since they've been here. Anyway, we came back up toward 'home' and stopped at two other beaches, both which we could have only done with a 4wheel drive vehicle. Whew! Those were rough rides, but beautiful and so fun! The one where the picture is made is at a state park that really doesn't require 4wheel drive, but it took us 17 minutes to drive 1.5 miles, so that gives you a clue how rough it is! Unbelievably, there were several regular cars there! 10 years ago we drove our rental car out there, but have never been back because it was so rough.
After the beaches we came back to the Paniolo Country Inn for dinner and got to see Braddah Smitty perform! We really enjoyed that. Now, we're all ready to crash. We're so grateful for a wonderful place to call 'home,' and the knowledge that rest will revive us for tomorrow. How wonderful it is to have family join us.
We pray for folks at home, in Hobart, as the whole town is out of power due to an ice and snow storm. They don't expect to have power back for 3 or 4 days. Our kids in Oklahoma City and Davy and Susan's son, Bruce, in Norman, have several inches of snow (6 or more) on top of a layer of ice, but they still have power.

ReplyDeleteWas our friend, Deliverance" at the Paniolo Country Inn last night with Braddah Smitty? He could sing really good.
I was wondering if you had the bad news from Oklahoma and I see from the blog that you do.
Have fun, Linda
Yes, Linda, he was there and did a wonderful job of sounding like Johnny Cash! We sat at the same table where we sat that night with you two. When we came in they thanked us for coming back! The waitress wanted to know if we'd be there next week; I hope we can go next week, but I don't know if we can or not.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hate it that everyone is having it so tough at home! They're tough, though, and God is good; they'll make it. Thanks for caring!
Love and miss you,
Jo
