Am I Dreaming?

I'm not kidding when I tell you every single morning when I wake up and realize that I'm really in Maui, it is about the coolest feeling one could imagine.  Waking up to the birds chirping is sweet.  Sometimes my paradise is spoiled by a ridiculous mynah bird, that I've named Jack.  Why Jack you ask?  I think everyone can identify with someone in their life that just yacks constantly and won't stop.  The kids grandma, Momma D., refers to them as a jackass.  LOL!  So there you go.  Makes perfect sense don't you think? 

Today is Saturday, so I thought I would check out a few garage sales.  Seriously, check out this hill I had to climb in order to get the sale.  No great finds from the sale but I found an exceptional view and a I got a killer quad workout.   The first picture doesn't do the hill justice; however, the second pic gives a better perspective.  All I could think about is how much fun my kids would have sledding down that hill...alas...no snow here.

Today was another wonderful afternoon at the Kaanapali Beach Club Hotel.  This has become my second beach home with my friend Chantel.  Check out the views, it is so very relaxing.

I loved watching the start of the Olympics tonight.  It's very inspiring to see those who have worked so hard excel in their performances, yet it's heartbreaking when they don't achieve their best.  What a privilege for each of them to experience the incredible feat of being a part of something so  amazing!
