Time to blog

Our container arrived, was unloaded, Ron painted almost the whole inside of the house, I packed coffee for Christmas orders and washed windows. Not bad for a weeks work. And all while we were having a bit more rain than the norm. Luckily the farm sets in an area that didn't get flooded but plenty of other places did. Of all the islands Maui seemed to get hit the worst. We are now driving back and forth between the condo and the farm daily. I love the drive and am actually going to miss it when we move down there. To me it's one of the prettiest drives in the whole state. Oh yes,we'll still get to drive it just not daily. Actually we have already had people stop by the farm and we aren't even totally moved in yet. A Japanese couple came by and wanted to buy coffee but that day I had it all up to the condo waiting to take it to the market the next day. Then a few days ago a couple came by with a fellow I recognized. He is one of my customers from the market and he had brought them down as they wanted to see a live operating coffee farm. And coincidently they had met Kelli & John at a luau in Honolulu the week before. K&J had told them about us and of course Mark & Jen's friend John knew us. Mark & John are both photographers so we saw pics of K&J at the luau and John made me a CD already of the visit. I'm getting so good at packaging so this year I've sent the Christmas package to Mich and TN and getting ready to send some more. Maybe if I get that done I'll get to writing out Christmas cards......Ah, don't hold your breath. So to all Ron & I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And lastly there is a nice article about Kona coffee in the newspaper. Here is the link http://starbulletin.com/2007/12/09/news/story08.html. Sorry you have to copy and paste, I haven't figured out how to make this blog take links yet.
