"Lunalilo was the sixth monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii from his election on January 8, 1873, until his death a year later. He was of chiefly/royal descent and a grandnephew of King Kamehameha I 'The Great' 'Napoleon of the Pacific who unified  the Hawaiian Islands into 
one kingdom."

Same Scene Today: No King

Yet, taught by time, 

my heart has learned 

to glow for other's good, 

and melt at other's woe.

 Great doubts deep wisdom. 

Small doubts little wisdom.

 No tree has branches 

so foolish as to fight 

amongst themselves. 

         Ojibwa Indian Saying

I am so getting a dinosaur!

Even being introverts
it is sometimes nice
to get out. The good folks
at Down To Earth
prepared our groceries
and brought them
outside to the car.




We took a brief tour
of our old home of
Manoa Valley. So
many memories!

It was cheap nostalgic
therapy and a drive
on a lovely day.

Happy Father's Day
to them all!

Hope your weekend
was surprised by
some stirrings of
beauty and hope
in this unique time.

How I love the Ojibwa Indian Saying, and wish that more people realised its truth.
Did you take Pixie on your outing?

I see that Pixie is testing your groceries to be sure they are safe. Great shots today!

Pixie has been to California and back! Right now she has expressed a desire to stay at home when we go out. She claims she's watching everything. We love each of you who brings us smiles and Aloha! Thanks

Lovely words and lovely photographs.

We went on our first boating cruise and met up with a couple of friends. We stayed our distance, but it was nice to see them after 3 and 1/2 months.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥

My sincere apologies for visiting so late this week. I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my internet going as you probably noticed on Tuesday, and now I'm playing catch up.

You and Pixie find the most impressive places to visit and take the most wonderful photos. I loved the mural, Cloudia.
