Huge beach in Kaanapali

This picture is the beach out by our last condo from when we walked to the end south of us. This is from close to the end, looking back toward our condo. If you see the white buildings that are nearly at the end, ours were the 2nd ones back from there. The first ones back have a green roof, but the ones where we stayed have a gray roof and are a light green. Anyway, you can see that we looked out from our location and saw beach going on nearly forever and it was a great beach! They had a walkway all this way, so we didn't have to walk on the sand. The walkway is back to the right of the trees that you see in the picture. I'll post a sunset picture tomorrow that shows the walkway.

I worked most of the day on catching up on mail. I did have a delight, though: the doorbell rang and our neighbor, Jaxon, was there needing to borrow our plunger. I had created a new spot for it in the closet where the new furnace is, and I didn't remember that, so I had to go on a search for a while. Jaxon is 6 1/2, and he is such a HOOT! He came right back and walked by a wooden figurine of a humpback whale and recognized it. He asked if I'd ever seen a real one (He didn't realize the door he was opening with that question!) and I told him we saw lots of them in Hawaii, so he stayed to look at my pictures. He was so much fun! He loved the pictures and I loved sharing them. He was so anxious to see all the pictures and he was so impressed with our hikes. He kept saying, "I should have gone with y'all! When I was looking for the plunger, Don suggested it might be in the basement since we thought we'd looked everywhere up here. Jaxon's eyes got big and he said, "Do you have a BASEMENT?" I told him we did and I'd take him down there if he wanted to go. We went down and he took one quick look and turned around and came back upstairs. When we got up here, he said, "I thought it would be all webby!" We have a game table, a pool table, about 4 sewing machines, and inversion table and a stereo down there and he was way disappointed in all that civilization. He is such a treat; he was my grandkid fix for today! I thank God for kids; they sure brighten our lives. If you don't have grandkids, borrow a neighbor!
