Another Day in Paradise

Tuesday - DirtBoy and Mrs. DirtBoy left this morning. They island hopped over to Oahu for DirtBoy to work. That is sad, isn’t it? The good news it that one can find umbrella drinks there.

After the departure of the DirtPeople we had to settle in and find our “normal,“ which was a combination of reading, writing, naps, and laundry. Hubby and I were down to one shirt and one pair of socks each. He finished his last Fantasy and SciFi magazine. He’d been a subscriber for more than 25 years and after the years of editorial changes, he just can’t take it anymore. He’s done. He’s not even passing the magazine to anyone, he’s discarding it… into the recycle pile. I’m thinking it must be pretty bad reading.

Hubby got the blue, flashy thing, a “wireless access point,” working! We’re totally wireless with our laptops! Yeah, I’m feeling kind of wild with the ability to roam.

For lunch we broke into the peanut butter and used some of the papaya and coconut jam. There are a selection of nuts and chips to dig into as well. By the time it we headed out to the lanai, the haupia ice cream and the POG cartons had been emptied.

We had a great time catching up with the Upstairs Neighbors and their guests. We heard about the fish caught during the Deep Sea fishing expedition. As I suspected it was more for the “fishing” and not the “fish.” It sounded as if he had fun.

We also heard about the lava flow… the last one on Maui was 1790. Hubby and I think we might have to check it out. It’s south of us, past Wailea, past Makena, you get to it on a rough, one way road. I’m thinking we might need an Adventure Jeep for this. “One way road” strikes fear into my heart after our excursion on the northwest side of the island.

We’ll need to keep the advice of DirtBoy in mind… keep hydrated. You know what that means… no, not Menehune Water…

Umbrella drinks!
