Mokihana's Garden

I’m trying hard to get the next road trip installment done; we’ve been so busy lately that it’s been hard to find the time to organize, resize, and upload all the photos. (more…)

Last night about 6 p.m. Nolemana called me from my office (where I was oblivious to the view from the deck… because I can’t see it from there not because I wasn’t paying attention!) to see what was going on. It was a terrible fire. (more…)

Yes! Grizzly bears nearby. But Nolemana and I had no time to see them, and really, did I want to see a caged one? Nope. So we continued on our way, still heading east. Gotta say that cuz get mauka all around us!

After having lunch with Auntie, Nolemana and I headed back into town to buy a pair of much-needed new windshield wipers. No way I was gonna have a repeat of the night before!

Okay, remember the fabulous lodge-like great room of Auntie’s place? Today we’re gonna see more of it.

The Knitting Olympics/Ravelympics are pau. Before I started, I had set a very challenging goal for myself, namely to enter the “WIP Dancing” (Work-in-Progress) event, and finish up two blankets that had been languishing for years, as well as a shawl that I’d started right after my mom died but had never finished.

We couldn’t start till Opening Ceremonies. We had to be pau by Closing Ceremonies.

I am pleased to announce that I did it! I reached my goal! Here is one of my medals. (Bob, the dog, is the Ravelry mascot.)
