Aloha!

Bette Midler is from Hawaii, and recently said: “I grew up in Hawaii, and even though people were poor, when you walked out of your crappy house you were rich, because the sky was crystal-clear and the waters were full of jumping fish and everyone had gardens. People worked hard to make the land extraordinarily beautiful.”

So in that, I feel rich every day!

It’s banana harvest season at our house. These are apple bananas–they’re small, sweet, and taste slightly like pears to me:

We make smoothies galore, bananas foster, banana cake…and give them to everyone we know.

Whale season is winding down here a bit, and Mike will be glad to have a chance to catch his breath from working three and four charters on The Scotch Mist in Lahaina every day.

Hope you had a great weekend. Mahalo for reading along! If you’d like to stay in the loop, please click the “Follow” button to the right.
