Aloha, everyone! It’s like the calm before the storm … our house is quiet since it’s early in the morning, but in a couple of hours or so it’ll be humming with activity as Carla & Linda start getting ready for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving Day feast! The boys & I are responsible for cleaning the porch …
Good morning all! It’s Tuesday, and we’re two days away from Thanksgiving! We had a meeting with our manager, Ann, who flew in last Saturday and met us last night at Paesano’s in the Manoa Marketplace. That woman is amazing – I don’t think she ever sleeps, and yet, she’s always so upbeat and on …
What a quiet Monday morning! The strong winds have finally gone, and it seems like the neighborhood’s getting a late start. Oh, no wonder … it’s only 6am! All three puppies slept with us last night since Linda is dog-sitting for a friend of hers out in Portlock. I forgot how crowded it gets with …
It’s Sunday and aloha kakahiaka to all of you! We did not perform at Kani Ka Pila Grille last night because we played for a wedding over at the Moana Surfrider Hotel. It was a small, intimate reception with the bridal party, close friends and family enjoying some great food and music from ManoaDNA! We’d …
Good morning! It’s Saturday and I got up rather early … must have been the Liliha Bakery pancakes that Mark and I ate last night after our gig at U.H.. The last time I ate at Liliha Bakery was a few years ago when I was still performing with Cecilio, but boy, did they taste …
Aloha friends! I know, I know … I’m sorry I missed Thursday’s entry! I was on the go from 6:30am yesterday and didn’t get home until 7pm. Then our internet connection started doing some weird stuff so I couldn’t access our website to input my blog! Anyway, the reason we were up so early was …
The strong winds have calmed a bit, and it now seems like we’ve finally entered the cooler fall season. Unfortunately, the winds blew a lot of my avocados off the tree, so I have to go check to see which ones can still be salvaged. I guess we’ll be making a ton of guacamole this …
Boy, is it WINDY this morning! I can hear the gusts coming down the valley like the roar of an oncoming train! I guess the roofers and roofing supply companies will be very busy for the next few weeks! I’m going to go see a chiropractor today – I took a hard fall yesterday while …
Aloha Kakahiaka! It’s another blustery morning here in the valley, and the sun is just beginning to peek out from behind the clouds. I have another busy day today – I’m taking one of my friends to pick up an ukulele at the KoAloha Ukulele factory before he returns to Japan tomorrow morning. KoAloha is …
It’s early evening here in Manoa Valley and it’s been pretty windy lately. I just got finished watching a replay of Michelle Wie’s first LPGA victory in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational golf tournament down in Guadalajara, Mexico, and boy was it exciting! I’m so happy for Michelle because not only is she from Hawai’i (Punahou, …
