Grateful... Hawaii... home...

So very much to be grateful for this week.  The basket is filled to overflowing and I can't even remember it all.

21 ~ the impossible blues of the Pacific...


22 ~ macadamia nuts growing on trees and eaten fresh from the shell...


23 ~ coffee... small red balls holding fresh green beans...



24 ~ an absolutely, incredibly, fabulously, ridiculously delicious frozen coffee drink made with Hawaiian coffee...


25 ~ Moloka'i lawnmowers... 


26 ~ the airplane door latch breaking on takeoff, not while we were in the air...



27 ~ my reunion with an old family friend who I hadn’t seen for 25 years

28 ~ brave first-time windsurfers...





29 ~ just enough time to squeeze in 30 one-on-one minutes with The Princess at her destination of choice - The Waikiki Aquarium...



30 ~ our decision to go to the Honolulu airport three hours early... a blessing thanks to incomprehensible traffic and losing our way, as well as in-airport delays

31 ~ soft socks in the airport that double for sandals left on a beach far away

32 ~ a forgiving husband who doesn't complain when my foolish oversight makes us miss our connection

33 ~ warmth in a Denver airport in December, despite being dressed for Hawaii

34 ~ a joyful Christmas song, sung by the four year old at the top of his lungs, all the way through the Houston airport

35 ~ food just in time to keep me from getting weepy

36 ~ a toasty cup of coffee when I have only had a few hours of sleep on the airplane

37 ~ overjoyed dog jumping and barking his love on our return

38 ~ friends who take care of our farm while we are gone

39 ~ a sparkling clean hearth, and a kind chimney sweep

40 ~ the first roaring fire of the season, warming my fireplace, and my heart
