I called a guy who could install gutters on my house, and he quoted me a price which was a lot more expensive than I expected. While I was investigating yard sales last week, I was handed the name of someone who might be cheaper. They guy quoted me a more reasonable price and I hired him. The gutters get fixed soon!

This Saturday I have my first ever yard sale. I will only be out there for a few hours because I found a get-together I want to attend on Saturday afternoon. The group is the Atlanta offshoot of KonaWeb, an online community whose roots are in Kona on the Big Island, yet have members all over. Many of these non Hawaiian Residents are in the process of moving to Hawaii, or want to move and have not yet found the way! The meeting will be a little piece of Hawaii, right here in Atlanta!

You may not realize it, but there are few places here in the south to find people who love Hawaii as much as I do. In the past 10 years I have only heard of three Hawaiian themed things happening here. Twice, famous Hawiiaan musicians showed up for concerts and once the Hawaiian Convention and Visitors Bureau had a road trip at Perimeter Mall. None of these events were well publicised and I heard about all 3 through the “coconut wireless”, kinda the unofficial newsgroup, email and word of mouth transmission medium

Aloha for now!
