It's Been Almost 1 Year!

Aloha to anyone still reading this blog.
On September 27, Mike & I will have lived in Hawaii for 1 year! We have learned a lot in this time, and are still learning all the time.

I haven't been keeping up on it much lately, as you will have noticed. Decided to go back to the old route of writing letters to those who write to me.

Here's a short summary of our latest news:
We are thoroughly enjoying our first summer in Hawaii. Not nearly as hot as we thought it might be.
Mike is building a screen house for growing vegies, etc.
Planted a Valencia orange tree and a liliko'i vine. Still have lime and abiu trees to put in the ground.
My 'birthday orchids' are reblooming!
Even getting our first ripe strawberry!
The avocados are almost ready.
Still getting a trickle of guests for the vacation rental.
Recently discovered Google chat and truly enjoy 'talking' with my daughters that way!
Hawaii County Fair is next weekend; I wonder what that'll be like?

So if you're wondering about our further adventures, send an email, call, or (gasp!) take pen to paper! If you write to me, I will write back.

Aloha & blessings,
Liz
