Aloha from the Big Island

It is now Thursday evening and we have been here on the big island a week ago tonight. We celebrated by going out on a sunset dinner cruise. Lovely, simply lovely. Am writing on another computer and don't have photos to download yet but will put a slide show together later from our trip. So far, so good. Granddaughter Jaylee is adorable and a very good baby. For only 2 months old she sleeps nearly everynight all night so that is a big plus! She seems to be thriving in this climate. This is our 3rd trip to the Hawaiian Islands and the 1st time we have experienced rain, vog (created by the volcano) and some humidity. Don't remember ever having experienced those before but can't say it's a problem. We are a lovely time and enjoying the family very much... Will be here until Tuesday when we return to the mainland... until then Aloha..........

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
