This week in pictures

I promised pics and they follow this blog. Winter flowers shine now as the vog has cleared and we are getting some awesome sunsets too. Take a look below.

I got the opportunity to go swimming with some neighbors this week and was taken to some new sights. We first headed to Kealakakua Bay to see if the dolphins were in. Not then so we mosied over to Mehnini Beach and they showed me how to follow the opening in the sand in high tide and float past the coral out into the bay. We swam past big schools of fish and I even saw a new fish. Green and black with a yellow eye and a long narrow body. Then we swam out to a pair of underwater arches. John showed his expertise and dove under them. Pretty good job as they are a good 25 feet down. Clear as a bell to watch though. When we headed in Ron met us at the beach and said he had rode his bike over to Honounou and said the dolphins were in there. The dolphins had decided to put on a show for the tourists that day and left us locasl to play alone.

If you are hearing the news, yes Oahu is getting pounded with wind. We luckily have not had any of it. The surf has been high and the surfers are lovin' it but no wind. And we are getting beautiful winter sunny days. Comparing Honolulu on Oahu with our weather here would be like comparing Knoxville to Memphis or Pontiac to Mackinaw. It's hardly ever the same is it??

Soon I will be working on a complete overhaul of our website. Will blog about it when i get time. I find that our current website is way to slow, but I did get an order from Norway the other day. But I get more calls about how slow it is, so time to change things.

So far we have send our coffee to 6 foriegn countries, Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy & Norway and to 24 states. With any luck a new website may attract hits from all 50 states.
