Dear Bloggie. . .

I have so neglected you! I packed my luggage and took Lacette to Maui. I took my homemade journal, and with a little Starbucks was on my way. . .
. . .to this. . .it's a hard life. You know Bloggie, I need inspiration!
Beachcombing. . .you either love it or leave it. I choose to love it of course. I have friends who gladly obsess with me. . .thank God they embrace it!
Even if my bum is sitting on piles of coral, it's a treasure trove of a day. . .
There is always, some kind of jewelry to buy. An over the top cone necklace & bracelet by Maui Shells.
My high school peep, Annette--we were Maui High School cheerleaders, can you tell?
My sister's home is this amazing artist's haven of artwork and shell crafting. And sweet little surprises, marbles from the beachcombing.
How Haiku had torrential rainstorm, which we loved by the way. If I could share with you the sound of tropical rain, the wind in the trees day and night, I would.
We did not cook. Cooking, blah. Not on vacation. Lacette & Vida, thanks for the memories.
Vida gave me this frame and photo to Lacette and I, and I hurried to produce this frame with my current Maui shells. When my hubby saw this photo he bust out laughing saying that my bud and I looked like "Frick & Frack". Frick & Frack were comedic famed folly iceskaters in the '30's; ho ho to you Lorin.

I think I will get crackin' to some crafting and such. My scrappy room is getting done. So Bloggie. You can't tell at this point that I am neck high with little league baseball, little Kawai and being a SAHM--who has time for you? Aww. You may be on the backburner of my life, but you are in my life!
