Please help KPOA Ohana!

I have tried a few pen pal sites but no response.  Maybe it is just a dream, to find a friend who would know about the islands, and the places I would like to revisit in my mind.  I was hoping you might know someone around my age of 62, or older or younger,  it doesn't matter.

 

I had a wonderful friend, who I wrote to for a few years after my return to the mainland.  He lived on the Big Island and was one of my tour guides.  He died a few years later, but while he was in my life, it was a pleasure to know him.  He was in his 70's back then when I was in my 30's.

 

I loved Lahaina, and walking the shops on Front Street.  We swam in the Seven Pools, and toured the whole island.  What a beautiful place.  I took a lot of pictures with my little –then—Kodak Brownie Camera.  The pictures are faded, but the memories are fresh.  I wish I had bought postcards!!

 

Aloha--- Mary

Have a Happy 2011! Alaka`i

Sunrise on fresh snow!

The storm has passed more quickly than expected so we received less snow than the prediction.  That's fine with me - less shoveling to do.

A cloud band in the east this Christmas Eve morning coaxed me outside to record the possible spectacular sunrise.  Alas the sunrise did not materialize, but the Peaks were spectacular with the fresh blanket of snow.

Have a Merry Christmas and a great 2011!
