Aloha Everyone!

Wow! Where to begin!

What started out as a low-key weekend road trip to see the Smokin' Menehunes, Tiki Taix and visit with Soccertiki and WooHoo ended up being a birthday weekend I'll never forget!

Much mahalo to everyone who came out to help celebrate and especially to Soccer and Woohoo who put the whole thing together! You guys and all of your efforts made the weekend extra special! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

Gosh, we were so busy between Oceanic Arts, Damon's, Bahooka, Purple Orchid, Bamboo Ben's Place (love the shelf Ben and the boos are too cute. Get well soon, man!), Little Lost Tiki's studio (great to see you again Ken, your work is amazing!), visiting Tradewinds Cove and the wonderful hospitality extended to Boyd and me at the Soccer Tiki guest grotto (we’re moving in soon!) we wouldn't’ have had time to see the Smokin’ Menehunes and Tiki Taix even if we wanted to, so we’re lucky they were both postponed to future dates…now we have another reason to come out to visit! :D

And did you see that lovely lei? Courtesy of my buddies Woohoo Wahine and Soccertiki…much mahalo aloha to you always!

You know, this is ranking right up there as the best birthday ever!

Also wanted to thank Hinao Paul & Mrs. Lurker (aka heist-a-mug, wink, wink nudge, nudge), Tigerlily, Al-ii, PiPhiRho, Cheeky Girl, Hiphipahula & Rob (-a-hula?) Hau 'oli Tiki & the Mr. and Mr & Mrs. Trader Tom for making the trek out (on one or in some cases BOTH nights) to make my birthday extra special!

It’s time like these when you realize just how many super people you are blessed to have in your life! Boyd and I had a wonderful weekend and we are blessed with such good friends! Mahalo Nui Loa and much aloha to all!

Now, it’s on to that long list of things I must accomplish before I turn 40!
