Last Tuesday I asked you to share some of the things that bring you joy. I know I have much to be happy about. Here’s just a sampling. Friday morning started out great with my daily walk in Kauai. This time I counteracted all that healthy activity with a delicious pumpkin macadamia muffin. (Hey, I worked hard for … [Read more…]
It’s going to be hard to limit myself to a manageable number of favorites this week. I told myself I’d choose a picture a day, but I may have to stretch that to two in some cases. Friday: On our way to Kauai. I felt it was fitting to read a book about beach life … [Read more…]

It’s Friday again. I hope you had a fantastic week. Here’s a small sampling of my favorite moments since last Friday. It started out with Labor Day weekend at Hawkes Landing.

I hope your week has been as happy as mine. I have so much to share, it took real constraint to narrow the list down to a manageable size. It started Friday evening with girls dinner with these two lovely ladies. (I did not take photos at dinner, so I pulled these from my archives.) … [Read more…]
