From two weeks ago....

Once long ago when I was having one of my testy days, my son emailed me a picture of Malaekahana Beach and said, "Mom, go to your happy place."  Today I'm in my happy place.  We came up last night and slept to the sounds of the ocean.  At  6am we arose with the sun coming in over the ocean on a mostly deserted curve of probably (or at least in my opinion) the most beautiful beach in Hawaii.

Quick, quick we took a walk along the shore looking for shells and beach glass before the sun was too high in the sky. A lovely mixture of silver curves of water reflecting the sky and rolling surf.  There were only six people on the whole beach.  The tide was fairly low but alas no luck this morning.  Later we'll go snorkling and look in the nooks and crannies for shells and whatever fish we can see (sometimes the Honu - sea turtles - come to visit).

I brought up my watercolors so until the rest of the gang comes up I'll be painting.  I will return Sunday renewed and ready to help you find your home in Hawaii.  Bobby got his spam musubi and is our premium shell diver.  He' wants my french easel for plein aire painting added to his Christmas list.  Chuckker and Shirley will be fishing.  We are here to relax and renew our hanai family relationships.  Mahalo tyo Tim/Tom and Janice for sharing this lovely place with us all these years.

See you on Sunday!
