Aloha again from rainy Honolulu!
It's been raining frequently since Tuesday evening again,
and we are under a flash flood warning again until Sunday evening.
Periodically we get a glimpse of sunshine, but that again remains a tease.

Meanwhile we continue to make the best of it.
We had one lovely day with sunshine, and we spent it with our friends Kathy and Bruce.
I went to school with Kathy in Wolfville High School in 1963-64.
She was in my brother's class, and we reconnected in Honolulu several years ago.
She has lived here a long time, and we marveled at how we two Bluenosers
ended up spending so much time in Honolulu, of all places.
We spent Monday afternoon exploring the Koko Head area
with its beautiful craters of welded tuffs and basalts along a rugged seacoast,
followed by dinner at Kathy and Bruce's home.
It's a day I'll always remember.

I'm linking to Gillena's Lunch Break, Nicole's Friday Face Off, and Tom's Aloha Friday.
For Gillena ~ A Birthday Treat ~ Chocolate bread pudding to celebrate my birthday at the Hideout. I waited our whole time in Hawaii to enjoy this sinfully rich and delicious treat. Yummy!!!

For Tom ~ Hula ~ Hula is the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people, a sacred cultural practice that connects Hawaiians to their history, ancestors, and spirituality. My kumu hula says that even if you are not Hawaiian, your ancestors are with you when you dance. I love to watch Kapiolani dance. Her face is filled with the joy and power of the dance.
Just a few days left!
The rain is supposed to stop Sunday night,
so we're hoping to visit our favorite outdoor spots on Monday.
Then Tuesday it's home to balmy Colorado.
Yes, it's warmer there than here. 😂
