I’m coordinating a luncheon for the good folks at the Hui No’eau… our local art center.  They have a wonderful staff there and the programs that the Hui offers throughout the year are vital to keeping the visual arts alive here on Maui.  Part of this luncheon involves putting together gift bags for the staff....

Our little vacation by the sea is turning out to be far too short for my taste. It seems like at this time of year, it’s nearly impossible to get time to slow down. Before I know it our trip will have ended, Christmas will be here, and the kids will be back to school!...

Oh, and I forgot to say that I find it amusing to see you guys shopping for your tree in shorts and slippahs while the rest of the country bundles up for theirs. ;-) I say this as I sit sleeveless and be-shorted in front of my computer. ;-)

So beautiful! We are looking forward to seeing you guys in the next few days. :-)
