Storm's a-Brewin'

Thursday

Another quiet day today, spending time relaxing in the condo. Hubby went for his morning run, as always. We tried to put a dent in the few leftovers we have.

At 4:00 we headed upstairs for puu-puus and a sunset. The sky was uncharacteristically gray. It felt as if it were only 9:00 in the morning. We hadn’t seen the sun all day. I guess one cloudy day in the 20 years we’ve come here isn’t bad -including the seven or so years we missed in the middle.

There was a lightning show atop Haleakala and a sprinkle of rain. We imagined the east side was drenched. However, to the west there was a spectacular sunset, all pinks and reds through the hazy clouds.

We finished off a bag of Maui Onion Chips and some yummy curry-mango dip.

Dinner was a spectacular effort of the guests of our Upstairs Neighbors. Lobster and GIANT shrimp with baked potatoes , a nice green salad, and deviled eggs that fed a heated discussion of if they should be puu-puus or part of dinner. How does one qualify “appetizer” ?

The traditional Haupia cake and a round of Happy Birthday finished the meal.

It was late, by our standards, by the time we got home… yeah, that‘s all the way downstairs, Hubby and I rolled into bed, once again, and zzzzzzz.
