We're BACK!

Aloha Again, Friend!




Blogger is BACK - And So Are WE :-)
Sunny Days have returned to Waikiki. . .







We are simply intoxicated by the weather of paradise. . . 




Thousands of psychiatrists are in town
for their big annual meeting. . .






But that's OK;
We're hospitable to all kinds of strange visitors. . . . .





The new produce guy at the store, for example. . . . .



There's just something DIFFERENT about him. . . . 





"The memory of things gone
is important to a jazz musician.
Things like old folks singing in the moonlight
in the back yard on a hot night
or something said long ago.”

Louis Armstrong



<((=))>




Wasn't that SOMETHING?!

"Blogger Unavailable"


Wow, Took my brain a few minutes to wrap around

THAT!


The treadmill stopped.
Our friends were suddenly unavailable!
How is the flooding affecting Cajun Country?
I missed my daily New York pictures!

Fasting is good.

It makes us think about our routines

and appreciate

what we take for granted.


I missed you!

Tanned, rested & ready. . . . 


I'm

B A C K!

         Please say 'hello' in comments-  warmly, cloudia

Is the produce guy a visitor from the psych meeting? I thought "blog unavailable" was something wrong with my computer. Worldwide Blogging went kapoot? DrumMajor

Elephant's Child said...

Welcome back. You, and your wonderful photos and quotes were part of what we missed while blogger was sulking. And eating comments too - which I hope give it indigestion.

Blogger did have me flipping out, in fact in a rush I saved everything of mine that I liked. Live journal went down a few years ago, nevercame back up, and destroying lots of blogs in the process.

Dina said...

Shalom Cloudia, welcome back to normal blogging life! It seemed like a lot more than 20 hours that we were cut off one from another.

Love your weird pictures today.
Shaloha.

Kay said...

That really threw me off for sure. I didn't expect Blogger to be out of commission for so long. It sure is good to be up and talking to everybody again.

21 Wits said...

I love listening to Louis....and what a great place for a retreat! ...and I too couldn't believe how long it took blogger to get it all back together! Have a fantastic week in the sunshine!

Lynn said...

Good point - it probably was good to have our routine shaken up. :)

I wish I could go there for a convention.

Nancy said...

Glad to see you back - loved the photos, but had to think bathing suits are starting to look more like underwear... :-)

Freda said...

It all sort of happened without me realising until it was all over! Glad you are all back.

Unknown said...

I chuckled at your "strange visitors" comment. Shrinks! What a bunch! No offense to any in the profession, or anything! :-D

DeniseinVA said...

Missed you too, it was a bit of a shock wasn't it? Glad to see you up and running. Beautiful yellow hibiscus and loved the guy at the grocery store.
