WHAT A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY

 What a great way to start the day.  A cake from my Executive Committee team.  Strawberry/Banana Shortcake.  Yum.

 Dim Sum from my Reservation team.

 Lunch with my family at Five Star International Restaurant.

 A delivery of flowers and ballrooms from my honey, Charles.

 A romantic dinner at Kobe Steakhouse.

Just a perfect ending to the perfect day.

A DAY OF GOLF

On Saturday Charles took me to the driving range to help me improve my swing.  So today we went to the Hawaii Prince Golf Course to play a round of golf.  Charles was a tour golf pro for five years and what a great instructor.  I never hit the ball straighter than I did today.

HAPPY "SKINNY" TUESDAY

 We had a Mardi Gras Zumba class.  Instead of Fat Tuesday, I called it Skinny Tuesday.  We danced to some Brazilian music...a lot of Samba and Axe.

 Checking out the waves on the North Shore.

SAYING ALOHA TO YUKO

 We had our Aloha Party for Yuko who is returning to Japan.  I am going to miss my Zumba sister.  We had so much fun these past two years.  Aloha, Yuko.  Matta Aimasho.

GET READY FOR THE HAWAII FOODBANK 9TH ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC

Charles took me to the Hawaii Prince Golf Course, site of the 9th Annual Hawaii Foodbank Golf Classic which will be held on Friday, February 15.  Contact me if you are interested in attending this fun event.  Last year we raised $46,000 for the Hawaii Foodbank.  I hope to exceed that this year.
