Catching Up

Just got reminded that I haven't blogged in 6 weeks. I knew that and here's whats been going on. Besides working on our website and introducing myself to Facebook, then adding Kona Lisa Coffee.com to Facebook, getting my computer updated, fixed and deletd of all it's rubbish and finally getting a new flat screen 20in monitor, updating tax info, Faxing tax info; well that's where I am as far as the office goes. Seems like we have been eating out way more that usual. There is a wine tasting Sunday every week at Jackie Reys resturant which we take in occasionally with 4 other friends and then do dinner. Went with Ro, Tom, Marci & Chuck to Holualoa Cafe, and did a Red Hat event at Akoni's on the beach. Drove in with my neighbor Cheryl to that RH event in her gleaming orangish Corvette convertible. She broke the speed limit all the way there and back. Hard not to do that in a Vette. She added a bit a trivia on our ride home. While her brother was here and driving the Vette he happened to count all the curves riding the pali back to our neighborhood. He told her there are 61 and I have meant to count them myself eversince, but there is so much to see and look out for on the way I haven't remembered yet. I live at least a mile plus past her place and there are at lease 14 more curves to my driveway. So just remember when you come to visit us that the last four miles consist of 75 curves and they are all fun and scenic.
Last week I hulied while out in Keauhou Bay with a 6 man outrigger crew. I knew it was a bit choppy, but was with a great steersman and crew. Our stroker mentioned the ama was bouncing and before we knew it over we went and I was swimming collecting paddles. Bruce our steersman had the rest of the crew take their spots and flipped the canoe back the first time and then the bailing started. Another canoe came over to check on us and gave us an extra bailer. We got 'er bailed out and all back in ready to paddle. I found out later that if this happens in a race, you have only 7 minutes to do all this, and be back in the race paddling or you are disqualified.
Been working with Mark on having some T-shirts screen printed. They are done and shipped but not here yet. I plan on posting some pic's either here or on Facebook and probably on our website when they come. Today I worked on Kona Lisa Coffee.com as a Facebook profile and it is up. I posted pics there already. Become a fan and comment on the coffee when you can.
Ron had been pruning the coffee trees since the picking season ended and I believe he is finished. He was worried about the trees getting stressed as we hadn't had any rain in awhile. I don't dare tell the rest of the island as ever since he complained we have had three strait days of rain. Those coffee trees sure look good though. And we will probably get another blossom as they always blossom in the winter after a good rain.
At our KCFA.org yearly meeting I was asked/drafted to be on the board and voted in. Then I was asked/drafted to be this years Secretary. I declined so they could get a real secretary on board. Well no one stepped up and quess what!! This months meeting I have to submit my first set of notes. I am the first one to admit that I am a terrible secretary but after this post I will be putting notes together to submit to the board online before our next meeting. I've already procrastinated too long.
One of the things we may do with our website is add a blog there. So I may be ending this blog soon and blogging on our website in the future. Will let you know and send a link to access the new blog when that happens.
I sure can't keep up with 2 blogs as may secretarial duties may diminish if I tried. All that won't happen until we take a rest. On April 4 we are taking a week off to visit San Francisco, Santa Rosa, California and the Sonoma/Napa wine country. We decided to spend our 32nd wedding anniversary doing something else besides coffee.
