Saturday February 16th and 17th

Musical Chairs
Getting up Saturday morning with my head in the fog.  It's like walking around out of sync.  You know where you are but you're just tired and you can't think logically.  Some people have said my head is in the fog, so whats new.  Today we went out to eat, went to Safeway for food and we needed to adjust the furniture and last we always go out to eat breakfast.

For the umpteen year we go out to eat at CJ's for breakfast. If you want good food please stop in. CJ's is on highway 30 in a small strip mall.  I go there for one thing and that is Banana Macadamia Nut pancakes smothered on coconut syrup.

Clela always gets scrambled eggs and rice, always enough to make two meals.

Now don't forget CJ's
No lunch need after that. On we went to Safeway to get some food.

OMG, look what they did to our store.  Holy cow, it's twice the size, looks like a new store.

They even have a place you can eat and there is an Starbucks inside.  That is a nice addition.
The isles were so cramped before.
We got back to the condo, put our food away and went into solving our patio furniture problem.  We have big chairs and huge lounger.  Now don't get me wrong it's beautiful set in a small space, plus we have two people with their own ideas, you know I'm always right.  Here what we are dealing with.

How does this look.  OK, how do you get to the chairs in the back? How about crawling over the top?Okay I could get on top the table but how do I get down. Nope, that won't work. Oh did  I tell you lounge chair on the other side.

Look at the end of the lounge chair and you can see a chair, not much room. My idea you can see was to put two chairs next to the lounge chair.

Bingo! Now look at this configuration.  Look at all the room. All is well.  But wait this is my view.

Getting tired of this? We are not done.  Can you see the ocean? That is a pool not the ocean.  Here is Clela's idea.

The same idea that I had only on the other side.  Now if I put my head on the table, you know with no food on the table and the wind blowing the palm trees I can see the ocean.  Hey it's better than nothing. Now we both can see the ocean. Now after all this ask us how may meals have we eaten out there. Okay a couple.  Come on we are hoping for more warmer weather.  Starting Tuesday we are getting flood warnings, like heavy rain.

Today Sunday the 18th of February we have done very little.  You know all that heavy lifting yesterday.  Sounds like a good reason.  Clela made breakfast.  I had scramble eggs with Spam and toast.  When in Hawaii you must have Spam.  Now were not talking bad email, were talking about the meat made for World War II.  Hawaiians love the food.  I have it once a year when in Hawaii.

Jam from up country (mountains), butter from Ireland, Hawaiian bread and scrambled eggs from organic farms and Coffee from Maui, just up the hill from us.  Yes our favorites coffee by new owners.

Yes, Yes, Yes Yes!!!  Try it you will like it.  You can order on line, we have.
After lunch we went down to the ocean. We brought our own chairs because you have to be there early to get a couple lounge chairs. The waves were big, you know five footers.  There are two reefs before waves gets to shore.  Because of the cold weather a lot of plants and trees didn't do to well.

There should be beautiful flowers here, but they will grow back.

You are looking at hibiscus hedge. should be covered in flowers , only one survived.

This is  one of our favorite trees for shade, not now.  Some trees have no leaves.  We laugh and say your cold on Maui, wimp.  I think someone said this is the second time in 100 years it that cold.

 

We got the binoculars out to look for whales and saw some between Molokai and Lanai.
That was our day.  See you soon.
