SUNSET PICNIC

AS WE HEAD INTO OUR LAST WEEK HERE IN KONA , HAWAI’I WE ARE VERY AWARE OF OUR COLD WEATHER BACK HOME IN CANADA.  ST. JOHN’S ,NEWFOUNDLAND ,FOR EXAMPLE,  HAS BEEN DECLARED UNDER A ‘STATE OF EMERGENCY’ SITUATION AND EVEN OUR CHILDREN IN VANCOUVER HAD SO MUCH SNOW THIS WEEK IN A CITY THAT ALMOST NEVER EXPERIENCES THAT.  WE FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE HERE . 

 YESTERDAY, AFTER ANOTHER WONDERFUL MASS AT OUR LOCAL CHURCH, ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL , WE HAD A DELICIOUS ITALIAN DINNER WHILE SITTING AT AN OUTDOOR TABLE FOR TWO ON A BALCONY OVERLOOKING THE ROARING WAVES OF THE OCEAN.  HEAVEN.

TODAY, TERRY ENJOYED HIS 3RD GOLF GAME OF THE VACATION .  PERFECT WEATHER FOR IT AND THIS TIME I DROVE HIM SO I COULD HAVE THE CAR FOR THE DAY.  WHILE TERRY ENJOYED THE KONA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB DAY I HAD FUN TRYING TO FIND A NEW BATHING SUIT ( AND TERRY WAS HAPPY I DIDN’T PUT HIM THROUGH THAT EXPERIENCE..HA HA) . AT HOME I TAKE AQUAFIT 3 DAYS A WEEK AND I GO THROUGH THE SUITS PRETTY REGULARLY AS THE CHLORINE DOES A NUMBER ON THEM.  I FINALLY FOUND A CUTE, INEXPENSIVE BATHING SUIT AT THE LOCAL TARGET STORE AND AS I WAS HEADING BACK TO THE HOTEL I MADE A WRONG TURN AND ENDED UP AT THIS BEAUTIFUL BEACH. 

WE DECIDED THAT TONIGHT WOULD BE THE NIGHT THAT WE WOULD PLAN A SUNSET PICNIC AND THIS LOOKED LIKE THE PERFECT LOCATION AS IT WAS ALSO INCREDIBLY CLOSE TO OUR HOTEL.  AFTER TERRY GOT CLEANED UP AFTER GOLF WE DROVE OUT, GRABBED SOME KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN ( NOT THE HEALTHIEST CHOICE BUT SOOOOO GOOD ) AND FOUND THE PERFECT PICNIC TABLE NEAR THE OCEAN.  IT REALLY WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL LOCATION TO WATCH THE SUNSET …AND TO PLAY TILE RUMMY UNTIL IT BECAME TOO DARK TO SEE. 

I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS PLACE .
