Parade, school trip, recent beach pix

The Gay and Robinson Sugar company is closing production, so there was a parade to honor the 119 year history here of the company and all the folks who have worked for them over the years. Noah's whole school population was bused to town for the parade. Also some random pix of beach fun!

life back in the day of pearls, hats and gloves!

My sister Susan, my mom Clara and me---going to my cousin Judy's wedding!

Avalon's first birthday!

Fun party for the kids with the bouncy castle! Avalon greeted people at the door and was the little social butterfly! The only time she cried was when we sang Happy Birthday and tried to light the candle in the wind!

Fun with friends who are leaving the island!

So sad to have Martha and Robert leave! They are Avalons godparents. They are the best!

cool cat and wild orchids

BB is sleeping on the couch right in front of the fan! The tall greenery is a wild orchid plant from a friend, and I use it, when it's not blooming, as backdrop for cut flowers from my yard.

Kauai insomnia

Doesn't get much better than this----3 am. no need for bug spray, out on my patio with Dusty and BB, saw a shooting star, listened to the night sounds!

Noah's third birthday!

The balloon lasted all of 5 minutes before the ceiling fans took it out! Noah's favorite word of the day was "Wow"! He did a great job of blowing out the candles!
