2011 Drama


Neither Jeff or I had background involvement in any drama. Therefore, this drama involved a huge learning curve for us. We enjoyed drawing close to our fellow cast/crew members, developing skills we previously never had, and were deeply grateful and humbled to be a part of the entire experience. What struck us both was the immense amount of work, sacrifice, and commitment involved behind the scenes. All the effort was well worth the result: spiritual education and encouragement. We were privileged and humbled to contribute in a small way to this fine endeavor.

Things that make you go "Awwww"





Taco & the Babies





Good food + good friends + good fun


Jen visited from Maui recently, giving us a great excuse to go out for some yummy Thai food.

Seeking & Finding Beauty

Jeff and I spent the last day of my summer break at Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens. It was Jeff's first time. We packed lunch, had a little picnic, and strolled the grounds. Here are some of the flora and fauna that we enjoyed.







Lanai Ninja


Jeff and I arrived home one day to find this mama cat and her three kittens on our lanai. The kittens were a few weeks old already so she must have given birth somewhere near our unit, then brought her babies to our lanai. Unfortunately, the mama cat got sick (we suspect poisoning) and we had to bring her to the humane society. We've been caring of the babies until the shelter has room to take them. The orangey-grayish one is a ninja! We tried to barricade part of our lanai to keep them contained, but she always found ways to escape.
