After picking her up, we stop for gasoline – $3.79 instead of $4.69 in Na’alehu – and at the lumber yard for more 2 x 6 rafters andContinue reading “Alanah Arrives”

Other Diversions
I will be going back to Hawaii on April 29. I should say, that “we” will be going back, as Alanah will be going as well. She will be there for a long weekend, and returning to AZ, while I will be staying until July 24! While Kilauea continues to erupt and subside, then eruptContinue reading “Other Diversions”

Timmy Hummingbird sat on the rope near the nest looking around him. After spending the last month or so, confined within the small nest with his older sister Sally, it was great to be out where he could stetch.

Monday Raining this morning. Left to go to Hilo about 1 pm after hanging around in the gazebo hoping the rain would quit. The main reason for the trip to Hilo was to go to the cell phone carrier store to have them re-install my phone number on my (new to me) phone I purchased onContinue reading “May 8, 2023”

Farewell to Maui Wednesday While we were here on Maui, I had picked up two boogie boards, and two beach chairs – along with 8 to 12 baggies of sand from the various beaches we had visited. I wanted to take these all back to Hawaii island with me, so, I needed a checked bag, asContinue reading “May 3, 2023”

Tuesday The unit we are staying in at the resort has a washing machine and a dryer, so we took advantage of this and did a load of clothes. I wish I had brought more of my clothes from the Big Island so I could wash them a bit better. So it goes! The architectContinue reading “May 2, 2023”

Thursday Overcast and a fine misting rain along with a steady wind. This trip has been that way so far! For a week, I have had almost steady rain, and when the rain dies out, the wind picks up. I have had a steady wind for the past week. Not strong enough to knock youContinue reading “March 2, 2023”

Monday This last week has been much the same as last Monday – each day, my aches and pains have gotten lesser and I have become more agile. I still cannot bend at the hips. In order to pick something up from the ground, I have had to do it kind of stiff legged. EvenContinue reading “February 27, 2023”

Friday Finished the block work on all six columns for the gazebo at Ahi. The next step is to grout them (fill all the cells with concrete) and pour a concrete cap with anchor bolts to hold the metal post bases that I made in Arizona. I brought them in my checked bag (a cardboardContinue reading “February 10, 2023”
