Before the trimmings.

This was taken the first couple of days that Tom and Linda were here, before Tom shaved and before I cut my hair.  We both look better and feel better for sure!  Check out that blue water behind us and that mountain you see above the clouds is Maui.  I just know that God's favorite color is blue because we see so much of it here.   Green has got to be close behind blue.  I know that we are blessed to be her in the midst of it all and we give thanks!

We took an easy day today.  We went to the Hawi Farmers' Market for the morning and then took the afternoon to go whale watch.  It wasn't a great day for whale watching because we didn't see much (just a bunch of blows and a few humps and tails), but the weather was breath taking and it was so nice to be outside in it!  The ocean crashing against the rocks is a sound and sight we all love.  Maui was sticking out about like it is in this picture, so we loved  that.  Sometimes the clouds cover Maui, so it's a treat to see it all day.

At the Farmers' Market Lee bought a loaf of homemade bread that was mouth watering.  I got a couple of pounds of dried bananas to take home, so we're both happy.  The bread will be gone by next week when we can get some more.  What a treat.
