Hillary's Hawaiian Surprise

A L O H A !

" The moments of happiness
we enjoy 
take us by surprise.
It is not that we seize them, 
but that they seize us.  "

Ashley Montagu 
















 " Little minds have little worries,
BIG minds
 have no time for worries. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson













" I have recovered it
What? Eternity.
It is the sea
Matched with the sun."

Rimbaud

Jimmy Cannon



" One of the delights known to age, 
and beyond the grasp of youth, 
is that of Not Going. "

 "It is a mistake to regard age
as a downhill grade toward dissolution.
 
 The reverse is true.
 
 As one grows older,
one climbs with surprising strides. "

I loved that she enjoyed it so much, what a great laugh she had. He moved too quickly for me to see, surely he wasn't naked hahahahaha!

"It is a mistake to regard age

As Jimmy Buffett likes to sing, "I am growing older but not up."

In fact my wife often says I act like a twelve year-old.

I think that is so cool!

I like Hillary's laugh, too. I also love how they light the tiki torches in the evening. It's been more than 30 years since I've been there but I remember that.
