It Works!

The internet was off again this morning after having it work for a short while last night.  I called at 6:45 am and they said they were having some problems. No kidding! For the past two weeks, they have been having problems!!

However, it is working for the moment, so I will get my blog done!



I love the clouds!

 Current temperature this morning at 9 am is 23 C (feels like 81 F with the humidity). The sun is shining and it is pouring. Go figure!! But, it is beautiful. The mountains are covered in clouds - dark ones - and although the sun is shining directly over us, the light winds carry the rain in a soft drizzle. Very nice.  However, once in a while there is a downpour!!! yikes, everyone runs for cover. It has stopped pouring since I started this blog. Off and on, rain and sun, it is an interesting life here in Waikiki.  John is down at the beach sitting on the bench and 'people watching'. Two days ago we met a couple from Connecticut who were getting ready to leave the same day. They were putting in time until the shuttle came to pick them up. They shared our table on the beach for awhile. Very interesting conversation. He owned a garage chain and had lots to say about the economy. She and I got started talking about her job as a nurse in a seniors lodge, working in the lock-down dimentia unit. We had lots to converse about!

Anyway, the sun is shining once more, the breeze is lightly blowing and our skin is soft. It's hard to believe how quickly it will dry out in the Alberta dry air! I see it is -18 C and clear so that's a good thing - although it looks like it is -23 tomorrow. I am thinking I would rather 'get out of the rain' than the cold but what can you do? Sooner or later, we have to go back to winter.  That's enough talk about cold. Think I will go sit in the sunshine and gather some rays.

Aloha!
