THANKSGIVING 2013

 It was a lot of work but well worth it.  There was eleven of us this year and we still had left overs.  But who doesn't love turkey sandwiches?  I tried a new dessert recipe called "Better Than Sex Pumpkin Cake".  It was a huge success but I'm not sure if it's really better than....

MY BESTIES

Cathy, Valerie and I just don't get together enough but when we do, we have so much fun.  Thirty years of friendship.  I love my besties.

FRIENDS FROM JAPAN

 Karen Niki brought some friends from Japan to class.  Miyuki Seki and her friend are from Kanegawa.  5 year old Ami was shy but knew the songs and requested DJ Dale. 

CATCHING TAKKO

 Charles, Eli and Justin went out to catch Takko and came back with three of these creatures. 

SUNDAY BRUNCH

 This was my mother's first brunch since her stroke.  She invited all her friends and had a wonderful time.  It was nice to see her happy surrounded by friends and family.

MOMENT CAM

Found this new app that transforms your pictures into cartoons.  Too funny.

RELAXATION 101

This is how to relax and clear away the stress. It also helps to cure my aching muscles.

JAMESON'S BY THE SEA

I love the restaurant in Haleiwa.  It's quaint and a great place to watch the sunset.

JW MARRIOTT IHILANI

Just hanging out at the pool at the JW Marriott Ihilani.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Charles and I met one year ago and I have been blessed with a year of happiness.  He fills each day with laughter and fun.  Whether we go out to dinners, or hanging out at the beach, or just curling up to watch television...we always enjoy each others company because we are best friends.  My golf game has improved and I have my ex-pro, Charles, to thank.  His patience along with my new clubs have dropped strokes from my game.  He has been there for me by my side in the hospital when I was going through my heart scare.  He has been there for my family during my mother's stroke and recovery.  I was there to console him when his mother passed.  It's been a fast year and I love this man so much for filling my life with so much love and kindness.  . 

MONKEY POD

Charles and I went to Peter Merriman's restaurant, The Monkey Pod, at Ko'Olina.  I personally prefer his restaurant on the Big Island. 

THE NEW GREEN SHIRT

 My Halloween gift to my sweetie was this green shirt.  Charles looked good in it and I think it improved his game.  Tony played with us today and didn't play so well.  Maybe he needs a new shirt...
