I didn’t mention it in my last blog because there has been so many things happening.

Around Thanksgiving I was caring for my friends dogs while she was in Australia. We received 7″ of rain down by my farm in 1 day! The road between my farm and the next one down was unpassable and Painted Church Road was closed due to runoff above us. Up at my friends, we made it through pretty easily; the electricity, cable and phones only being out for a day or so. However, down at my farm I hear the power was off for 4 days. What a difference 10 miles can make. Then we also had a 2.9 earthquake just to liven things up a bit. That quake was centered about 3 miles from where I was staying.

As ypu know, I work part time at a condo place in Kona, checking people into rooms and booking them for luaus and snorkle adventures and so on. Many of the excursions want me to come experience them so that I can tell your guests just how great they are. Naturally I get to do these things for free. I am being asked to attend another luau and take a helicopter ride around the island. As a Christmas present I received many boxes of cookies and chocolates and even a gift card with some spending cash.

And people wonder why we call it paradise?
