My last post of our Hawaiian vacation. Here are random places we went to: Goodwill. My favorite place anywhere I go. Bought a baby Hawaiian dress and a child size jinbei. Can’t get that at our Goodwill. Local library 2x. Another favorite place anywhere we go. We walked a couple of nice beaches and view […]

Continuing our food tour: Koko Head Cafe. Recommended by Johnson who did not get to go when he was in Hawaii but wish he did. They are known for their french style creamy eggs and fusion everything. I like Hawaii for it’s cultural diversity, and Asian food is not “Asian food”, it’s just food. This […]

More food in Hawaii that we ate: The first poke and more poke. Our first stop after we landed was Costco. I’ve heard so much about poke at Costco that I had to try. Live and learn, it was not good poke. And it wasn’t cheap compared to what we had later. I read in […]

What I love most about teaching is it forces me to take the effort to study and meditate on the passage and then getting an insight that I had not seen before. On Sunday, I taught the children on Mark 9:35 – the greatest is the servant of all. Me: What does a servant/slave have […]

Here are the foods we experienced on Oahu: Leornard’s malasada 3x. We were told this is a must have. I agree. It’s worth it. I was so excited to stumble upon their mobile truck, only to find that they only offer 3 flavors – custard, chocolate, and coconut. The special flavors are only in their […]

I will never have to buy Costco discount movie tickets again. The senior price for Edwards is $10.50. Anytime. That’s cheaper than Costco. I will now only go to a theater with recliner seats. I don’t love movies. The way to get through these epic 3 hr movies is to have my feet up, and […]

Despite being stressed before a vacation, I realize I do need to get away to relax. Here are my beach experiences that helped me relax: I insisted on a room with an ocean view. Hawaii isn’t even worth it without a room with an ocean view. Our room was on the 38th floor across the […]

Continue… Fun hikes in Hawaii that I am grateful to have experienced: We booked a zipline experience for Wednesday. I was attracted to it on their website because it said it was good for all levels, no experience needed, only a few 5 minute hikes. I want a little fun but not a lot of […]

I have no complaints about our vacation. Seriously, who can complain about Hawaii?? FOMO is a thing with me. I don’t want to come all the way to Oahu and miss something that everyone else had done on the island. I had a list of stuff I wanted to do, and I am quite satisfied […]

I always lose sleep before vacation. Is it even worth going on vacation to relax when it takes so much to get ready to go? Once the plane leaves the ground, then I feel relax. When I had 3 months of Sabbatical last year, I felt very relaxed once I was away. I hope to […]

Saturday: After morning deacon’s meeting, Mike and I had an adventure and bought a blueberry plant. So excited! Harvested 5 berries so far! Sunday: 3 moms who are friends with their children came to church for the first time. They are Mandarin-speaking, which is not unusual. Every week we have visitors who are Mandarin-speaking. Neither […]

Yesterday I posted my issue of aging. I’ve developed all kinds of obsessions with problems that come with getting old. First it was my digestion with pain in my stomach. I asked my doctor run all the tests. I was obsessed with supplements. There were bottles of pills arriving at my door everyday. It was so […]

In a podcast today, the host asked, “What false beliefs do you have about yourself that is holding you back?” I have a false belief about getting old. I think old people can’t be productive. I think I’m old and therefore limited in what I can do. I make decisions based on what I can […]
