Odds & Ends

Aloha, You :)

"I remember my parents sacrificing for us,
pouring everything they had into us,
being there for us,
encouraging us to reach for a life
they never knew."

Michelle Obama

(Hmmm, how will Fox/Faux News paint this in an ugly light?)





"In Hawaii we greet friends, loved ones,
or strangers
with Aloha,
which means with love...
try meeting or leaving people with
Aloha
and you will be surprised by their reactions.
I believe it,
and it is my creed.
Aloha to You."

Aloha to you, too, Cloudia! I was looking around at the shower trees today when I could finally venture out. They didn't quite seem as full as last year.

ALOAAAHA for de Birthday -- to the Princess of the Clouds, Ms. Cloudia!
Can I rent the top floor of that spot on the hill? Is that the neighborhood going towards Diamond Head?
I know Hawaii celebrates diversity, but the with the dogs, too?! Is that a giant chihuahua?
You should send Pirate Kitty's photos to a cat fancier's magazine!
Cheers for ever more birthdays! Drum Major
