Mele Kalikimaka!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Gee.  I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged.  Since the last blog about our student....great news.  A few days before the race her doctor reported NO CANCER...NONE AT ALL!  Praise God!  Currently, she is getting ready for a bone marrow transfusion in early January to deal with MDS and potential of AML.  There has been many miracles great and small and we thank God for all of them.

Well, I greet you from the one and only Motherland.  Yes, sunny skies, cool trade winds, low of 65-67 degrees, high of 76-80 degrees... ah, Merry Christmas to me.  ;)  This is the most relaxed I have ever felt in a long time.  I am at peace, I can breathe in deeply, I have hope, and I'm well-rested.  Must be something in the Hawaiian waters that cures all things.  :)  I'll drink in the beauty for all of you freezing your tushies in the mainland.

As we say here in the islands:

MELE KALIKIMAKA A ME HAU'OLI MAKAHIKI HOU!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
