I can't believe it has been 9 months since I last posted! Can that be true? Not that I have any followers but still Vic, get with the program. I can say that I am just so busy, and i am, but I know I can make the time to write at least once a week. So today I want to just wax poetic about Springtime. OK so maybe not too poetic but dang it was a beautiful day today.
The little boys (Niko and Sean) and I went to our favorite breakfast place, Grandmas in Keokea. The big boy stayed home to do some painting on the deck being added to our bedroom (the house remodel update will come later). As usual the food was divine! I had their speciality, eggs benedict which was so yummy and so filling I wasn't hungry again until dinnertime.
After we walked off our food on Thompson Road, one of the most beautiful places on Maui (dare I say the planet?). The weather was perfect, the baby cows and horses were all over the hillsides, the trees were in bloom, and the view was as spectacular as ever.
People also seem to always be in a good mood on Thompson road, where everyone has a "good morning" for you and a smile.
Sean rode his skateboard and Niko walked the dog. We stopped to feed the horses some grass and laughed at how serious some of the cows looked. No wonder a certain celebrity whose name starts with O and ends with H chose this road to buy one of her many homes.
Pete asked me recently where I would want to live on Maui when we retire and downsize. I told him today it would be Thompson Road. I can picture Pete and I walking down to Grandma's for coffee and riding our bikes to Ching's Store. The Kula Hospital is just up the road so if we get sick, help is close by. The rest of the time we would make drift wood furniture and art in between napping on our lanai overlooking the ocean view. We could tend our small garden and look after a small collection of critters (I do like my critters). All we would need is a sweet little cottage with a bit of land. I can dream can't I?
