High on Hula






The Craft Fairs, Girls with curlers and braids in their hair, Flowers and lei on every neck, ear, head, and hat. YES...it's that time of year.  The World Famous, MERRIE MONARCH FESTIVAL!  I'm fortunate enough to not only be home to enjoy the week long events but also to have 4 of my BESTIES flying in to join in on the fun.  Here's one of them, Alani who trooped it with mom and I this morning as we camped out at the stadium.  Tonight will feature the free Hoike performances which sadly is NOT televised.  Campers came out as early as 6:30AM...to be first in line and choose select seats when the gates open.  My Mom even got interviewed by Ramsey Wharton...check out her segment tonight on KGMB!!  My niece, Leiali'i will be performing with Halau 'O Kekuhi.  Stay tuned for more blog updates and photos on our week long adventures...as we take on Hilo and the Merrie Monarch Festival!  



Sending you lots of hugs and aloha!

Occasional Hugs




  Hugs for every occasion.  
Whether it's lil nugs sharing GOOD-BYE hugs with stuffed Dim Sum and juice box tummies.
Or...LOVE hugs to ease the butterflies and jitters of excitement on the day of "I Do."
or, CELEBRATION hugs because one of your dearest and closest friends has found true happiness.
These photos brighten up a gloomy Sunday evening...already missing my Oahu Buds & Nugs.  
Hugs make everything better...For now these photos will do.

Wishing all of you fellow Huggers an awesome week ahead!  :o)
