If I could tell the world just one thing

... it would be, we're all okay.  I ♥ Jewel.

Just wanted to drop in with a quick Hello!  I'm off to a going away party.  Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  And hopefully the weather is behaving and getting warmer in your part of the world so that you can enjoy a yummy shave ice treat, like I did today.  :)

This s*** is Bananas!

September definitely is the hottest month of the year.  So, what better way to cool off than with a yummy treat of shave ice + vanilla ice cream!  YUM.  In my neighborhood we have "The Shave Ice Man".  To this day this shave ice tastes exactly the way it did when I was 10 years old.  It's great knowing that some things never change. :D

Banana flavor is my favorite!  And what a coincident that it's the complimentary color of the dress I wore today.  (also the colors for women's rights! remember that Jo?  LOL)  I started getting into nail art. I bought a bunch of stuff from the drugstore to give it a shot.  I think my navy + blue sparkly zebra striped nails are pretty rad.

There's still a few hours to enter my giveaway!

Happy 137th Birthday!

Don't rompers make you feel like a kid again!?  I love them.

Pooma got a haircut last week.  Her purple color is almost gone.  Not sure if I want to color them again.  Picked up some of that Apple Bitter Spray... it's sort of working.  She runs when she sees us coming with the bottle.  Hee hee.

Yesterday we went to Local Boy's West and enjoyed some ono (yummy) shave ice!! (yes, locals in Hawaii call it "shave ice" as opposed to shaved ice, well most of us do).  There's quite a few shave ice places on the island, but today was the first day we both tried Local Boy's.  They give you a complimentary scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom and you can even add other things like, mochi balls and azuki beans.  I added the mochi balls.  I got to choose three flavors... guava, mango, and dreamsicle... and to add to the sugar rush they top it off with a drizzle of Kauai Cream! Oh la la.  Oh man, that shave ice was pretty awesome! Um, and yes it was shared.  :)

We played tourist and visited Lahaina Town's famous landmark, the Banyan Tree!

Yesterday it celebrated it's 137th Birthday (planted back in 1873).  There was birthday cake, games, artists, crafters, and activities for the keiki.  There were even clowns!  I got a quick picture with them before they got to the festivities.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Love, S
