Finding time or actually taking time to stop and relax has always been a problem<br />
for both my husband and I and moving to Hawai'i did not suddenly change us.<br />
<br />
We needed to find peace find a way to relax or in so many words find our place of ZEN!<br />
Heddy and Hoku had no difficulty with this concept they<br />
could find happiness and relax in any number of places.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A Loaf of Bread Costs How Much???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we came to Hawaii on Vacation I never really noticed the cost of Groceries </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after all we were on VACATION I really did not think about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the Grocery story was cheaper than buying anything at the resorts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But soon after moving to Hawaii as a full time resident it hit me how in the world could a loaf of bread cost over $6.00. I mean Bread on a super saver special is $4.59!</div>

As any one but me know making it your self might make it better but it does not always make it cheaper. First you have to purchase all of the necessary ingredients. From YEAST to Flours, and special baking pans. For me it became another hobby (addiction) Yeast breads were fun but what about the WILD YEAST or SOURDOUGH so now I had a living thing on my counter that required care and feeding every 12 hours.</div>

I thought I had inherited my Grandmother's golden touch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She baked bread every morning her kitchen full of wonderful YEASTY fresh baked bread smells.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far all of my loaves were wonderful and tasty I was pretty cocky. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should have know it was coming .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a loaf of Rye bread it smelled great in the oven </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT when I opened the oven it it was as flat as a pancake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My loving husband suggested using it as a door stop. </div>

I have been training and working with dogs since I was 10 years old and my father allowed me to start helping him train out German Short Haired Pointers. He hunted them and did field trials with them. I did the Obedience training and socialization of puppies. AND when he was not looking trained them to be my circus Dogs and do tricks.</div>

After leaving home I continued working with dogs and over the years have owned and trained quite a few but unlike my father I chose working breeds instead of a Hunting Breed. I had high <b>eXpectations</b> of their abilities and behavior and they never let me down. Training these dogs was not work it was FUN! Over the years I have owned and LOVED Poodles, Dobermans, and Rotties. These are all dogs with strong work drive and focus on owner and a real desire to please!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we lost our last Rottie my husband requested a small breed for a change. He had always wanted a Border Terrier. I have never been a small dog person and especially NOT a terrier person. BUT he had put up with all of my dogs for all these years I thought he should get to have a say in this one. Even though I knew who would be doing the training and he would get to do the fun stuff only.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After several months of hunting we found our girl. And on New Years Eve Heddy Joined the family. </div>

WOW did she surprised me. I have never had such fun training. She flew through the beginners stuff and looked for more! Always exceeding my <b>eXpectations</b>. I was quickly put to shame when at 6 months old she was winning Obedience trials at the beginner level and was moving upward.</div>

The word is a </b><b>combination</b><b style="font-family: inherit;"> of the words "volcanic", "smog", and "fog". Dealing with VOG started in Hawai'i when the </b><b>Kilauea</b><b style="font-family: inherit;"> volcano, on the Island of Hawai'i began January 3, 1983. </b></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><u>S - SHELLS on the SHORELINE</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All my life when life is tough or I need to think things through I head for the Shore. The Sand between my toes and the waves lapping over the sand always bring me peace of mind and allow me to think and problem through. When I walk I am a collector searching the waters edge for shells and sea glass. Over the years I have accumulated so much that I now only collect the unusual pieces.</div>

Crazy Quilts from 1900 were made to just use up scraps of used clothing and to make warm blankets. They were often considered practice pieces and a place to practice fancy stitch working.<br />

Moving to Hawai'i brought all of this to a head as it had all easily been stored for many many years in large Oak chest packed away with all the bay clothes and so much more but now we were leaving and had to face the big QUESTION... in the end I was brutal. I donated any thing that was not of true personal value and identifiable. I kept two wooded chests and allowed what QUILTS and MEMORIES that could be packed into the biggest wooden chest to be moved to Hawai'i. The rest went to auction. It was hard it was sad. I cried many many tears. Then I added one more memory to my pile.<br />

Hawaiian Paniolo were expert Ropers because most of the
cattle on the Island were wild Long Horns and had to be caught by roping them.
The Paniolo knew they only got one chance so they learned to never miss. A few
of these Paniolo attained fame as world class cowboys. In 1908, Parker Ranch
Paniolo Ikua Purdy won the world rodeo steer-roping championship in Cheyenne
Wyoming.<o:p></o:p></div>

brother owns one of the ranches up above me on the way to Waimea. The best part
about it is getting invited to occasionally participate in Ranching activities

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When the </span>Volcano's<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of Hawai'i were first farmed for Kona Coffee the rough volcanic lava made it difficult to maneuver the heavy bags down the mountainside for processing. Since Donkeys were small, sure footed and easy to feed they were perfect for the job. Donkeys were brought to work the coffee farms of Kona in the early 1900's. These sure-footed little burros were ideal for coffee work, packing up to five hundred pounds of beans at a time on the steep slopes. They’re social animals, but many of the tiny family coffee farms had only one. At night the plaintive braying of lonely donkeys echoed up and down the mountain, singing their“nightingale” songs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Soon better roads were built and farms were modernized Jeeps became </span>available<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to the farmers after WWII and the Donkeys were no longer needed. Sadly some of the farmers decided the easiest answer was to just release them to fend for themselves. </span>Eating grass that even the cows and goats would not eat. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> As people filled up the land the Donkeys moved north to more open land. Many survived in the Lava fields above Kona Airport and especially above Waikoloa Village. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">More and more people moved into the developing tourist area and the Donkeys became a problem. Tearing up lawns and sprinkler systems for food and water. Getting hit by cars was a danger for the Donkey as well as the Occupants of the Cars. Over the last few years the majority of the Wild Donkey Herd has been rounded up and adopted out here on Hawai'i Island as well as 150 were sent to California.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is still a very small herd of about 50 in the Waikoloa Area </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">that are being maintained until adoptive homes can be found. </span></div>

When I was 13 all I really wanted to do was play the guitar, but
my father insisted my hands were much to small to span the neck so instead of a
Guitar for my birthday I unwrapped a Beautiful Martin Baritone Ukulele.</div>

Fast forward 20 years and my husband and I were on a trip to
Hawai'i EVERYWHERE I looked people were playing Ukuleles so of course that was
the souvenir that would go home with me. I got a beautiful Koa Tenor sized

Our favorite Shave Ice vendor operates out of a Trailer and is only in our neighborhood (30 miles away) so on Wednesday or Thursday it is AMAZING how often I need a trip to town. AND since we drive right by Waikoloa and the BIG ISLAND SHAVE ICE is parked right there in the King Shops parking lot what a great idea to stop on our way and take a break, </div>

My husband and I almost always get ours with Coconut Ice Cream in the middle and I get mine with Li Hing Mui Powder on top... I know alread ... What is Li Hing Powder? <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">Li hing mui</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> is salty dried plum. It has a strong, distinctive flavor, and is often said to be an acquired taste, as it has a combination of sweet, sour, and salty taste. It has also been described as tart, and even tangy. I LOVE it no one else in my family can stand it.</span><br />

Being part of a Hula Halai is almost the same as being adopted into a family</div>

There are long hours of practice . Sore muscle especially for ladies with Gray hair that have never danced before. And much to learn. I had no idea when I started to learn Hula that all parts of the costume are made by the person wearing it. Yes your Hula Sisters can "help " you but you must make it. Your Mana, your spirt, had to inhabit your costume, your lei, your instruments...yes you wanted some of everyone else's Mana to reside within and help carry you to do your best, but you had to strive always to do your best. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are two times of Hula. Hula Kahiko is the more ancient form of dance and is done to the accompaniment of a Chant with Drums or Large gourd fashioned into an Ipo Heke. Modern Hula is Hula Awana and is done in more modern dress and to more modern songs often with Ukulele and Guitar. </div>

Even though when you visit Hawai'i you will see Geckos and Anoles everywhere there are NO native Reptiles or Amphibians in Hawai'i. Anything you see in the Islands no matter how cool or at home it seems came here either accidentally intentionally due to someones misinformed Idea that it would be a good Idea to help control some other introduced pest.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you remember the childrens song about and Old Lady that swallowed a fly, then swallowed a spider to catch the fly and on and on it went. Well Hawai'i has become like that. And it is a little hard to stop now.</div>
<div>
The Geckos do have their uses they help keep the insect population down and they also help keep the Gecko population down as the bigger and more aggressive Anoles from Florida eat ANYTHING they can catch.<br />

Sadly they also eat the Honey Bees we need for pollination and even baby birds at times. They also make it very hard to keep the house clean as the little Brown House Geckos only come out at night to hunt for food and while hunting they POOP everywhere. </div>

Most Saturday morning you will find us up early and heading up the Mountain Road towards Waimea for Market. We have a very nice little market in Hawi, the town closest to where we live BUT we like the food better in Waimea. Food at a Farmers Market in Hawaii is a big deal. Not only are you shopping for your fresh fruit , vegetables, Flowers, plants , trees, fresh bread and more things than I can even remember but it is the best meal deal around.</div>

Everyone asks us what we miss the most living so far away from where we grew up. It has taken me awhile to realize it, but it dawned on me recently. What I really miss is the wild life. Especially my Eagles! We had a pair of Eagles that nested in an old pine tree near our house and both male and female stopped often in our yard to rest or to eat on the way back to the nest. Every year they brought the young eagles to our tree to practice landing and hunting for fish in the river. So I got to spend a lot of time watching and photographing them. T</div>

Although they never got totally comfortable with my presence as long as I kept a very respectful distance the ignored me and allowed me to share the space with them. </div>

Papaya with Dragon Fruit and Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) is probably my all time favorite breakfast. But getting from the plant to the plate is a long involved process that I knew nothing about until someone gifted me with my first Dragon Fruit plant. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am not sure if a Dragon Fruit is a gift or a curse. First an formost they are a member of the cactus family so have at least a few small spines that you must avoid when weeding. Then the like to grow UP. So require a trellis or tree to grow on. We have NO trees so we built a trellis. Then you wait... and Wait....and WAIT.... for a small bud to appear.</div>

Because oh just in case you were not having enough fun with your Dragon Fruit plant yet there is nothing in Hawaii that Pollinates them AND they BLOOM at NIGHT so every night before bed flashlight and paintbrush in hand I go outside to check my Dragon Fruit Flowers to see if any are open and in need of Pollination. My neighbors at this point must be sure I have lost something! Maybe my mind?<br />

<br />
Finally the big day arrives and we Pollinate the Flowers then wait to see if we were successful. So far I have had 8 Flowers and eaten 3 fruit so I think I have a LOT to learn! Usually my failures are caused because it just happens to be POURING down rain the night the flower opens and I really do not like Dragon Fruit all that much!<br />

There is always a Dark side to
every Paradise. For me that dark side is the Centipede. I am sure there is a
perfectly good reason this invasive species exists and if I were to ask my son,
an entomologist, he would gladly lecture me about the virtues of this monster. <o:p></o:p><br />
I have even given serious thought to keeping Chickens and Ducks just because they are supposed to help with pest control.<br />

I have only been unlucky enough to
move the wrong rock once while gardening and gotten bitten by a large Centipede
that I disturbed. They grab you with their sharp hollow front legs that are
attached to muscular venom glands. I had been told that a Centipede bite feels
like a wasp sting. HA! It felt like 10 wasps stinging in one small spot! I
tried all of the home remedies I could find. Some suggested HOT compresses and
others Ice Packs. But it seemed that only time and steroid cream slowly allowed
my hand to return to normal size.</div>

I have now come to an
understanding with the Centipedes that share my Island. If they stay outside and out of my sight they survive to hunt another day. If they make the mistake to enter my sight I get to try and grab them and give them a trip down my Garbage Disposal. For me any Centipede that enters my space is at risk of being dispatched as quickly as possible. I keep long forceps hanging in the garage to grab them with since that is usually where I have done battle. So far the running score is Centipedes - 1 bite and Nancy - 4 dead Centipedes.</div>

We had purchased our piece of paradise. And very soon realized
that the only part of our dream home list that it filled was it was located in North
Kohala and we could see the ocean. I had always dreamed of big old Fruit Trees and Shade Trees and a yard filled with flowers. But we were happy with our FUTURE HOME. We had purchased a home built in 1999 that had NO
landscape at all but grass. As one friend put it a BLANK Canvas waiting to be
filled. Since I desperately wanted fruit trees we focused on those first. Bananas
are the fastest growing fruiting producing plants, so we put in a large patch.<br />

We soon had a row of my favorite Apple Bananas planted, a small firm fleshed fruit that I found can be used for everything from eating fresh to frozon chocolate covered and baked. Spending time at a Farmers Market exploring the bounty of Hawaiian fruit has always been one of my favorite activities. Apple Bananas were always our first purchase and they hold up well so we always bought a supply as soon as getting to the Island now I was on my way to home grown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
