Dear Internet,

Is it so wrong that I strongly desire a new coffee maker set up that will cost a LOT of money?

And that the mental gymnastics involved in my decision to buy said EXPENSIVE coffee maker, one that uses no electricity and replaces an older version I own made of plastic with one made from glass and metal (!) that has a fancy organizer/holder that also doubles the cost, include the fact I found an artist on Instagram that paints with watercolor on the used coffee filters making it a dual task item. Art and coffee? No way! This is so hard…

I wish there was a birthday fairy who granted candle wishes.

At first everyone else saw sea turtles but not me. Then this guy showed up and showed off!

Had a wonderful time painting with these lovlies last night!

This guy! ❤️

Reflecting on life while watching the fireworks show at the county fair where I grew up. I went to this fair every year for decades. And this is the lagoon where my husband proposed while having lunch one valentine’s day. So many good times were had in this very spot.

Mahalo Oahu! A wonderful vacation with the whole ohana.

I have recovered some of my art gallery. This is a good lesson about not only ensuring you have a back up, but in keeping all your stuff together. Looks like it’s going to be easier to reshoot photos of some of my art than to continue to try to find it.
