Sigh...
It's that time of year and I'm way behind in everything... absolutely everything!
After returning from Japan and having almost no time to work on our photobook, we (along with my brother and sister-in-law) took mom to Maui for a short vacation.
Mom loved it although some of the climbs were a bit taxing for her.
Here are photos of us on top of Haleakala and under the giant banyan tree in Lahaina.
Mom just loved the feeling of being above the clouds on Maui's tallest volcano.
Once we returned, our Japan photobook had to be put on the backburners so I could put together the Maui photobook for mom.
She loves looking at all her travel books and reliving her fun experiences.
We've also been swamped with our doctors visits, my physical therapy (yup, still working on that arm), and so on and so forth.
Now the holidays have jumped up and crashed down on us. There's just too much to do.
It all boils down to my having to do another blog hiatus. I used to be able to handle everything, but not anymore. I guess I must just be slowing down.
I'll be back soon. I have a lot of lovely photos from Maui to share with you.
But for now... have a wonderful holiday everybody, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa or Boxing Day. It's all beautiful and it's all about love.
Until next time... aloha.

Oh, you will certainly be missed, but don't feel guilty about taking as much hiatus as you need. This can be a crazy time of year, indeed. I really enjoyed all your recent posts about your wonderful trip to Japan!
ReplyDeleteYes, I certainly understand. Right now I too have little time to write. You will be missed but eagerly welcomed back. Looking forward to the Maui pictures.

ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need a break …
ReplyDeleteTake Care
All the best Jan
Have a nice break! I take them all the time.
ReplyDeleteAloooha to Kay, Art, and Mom -- it's okay to skip some things about the holidays. You're supposed to enjoy them too! I downsized about 8 boxes of decorations into just two. (Yep, I asked my kid what he wanted. Only wanted 2-3 things, the rest was donated. But, I WILL get my Christmas Village out and my Mele Kelikamaka Santas and decor out. Glad you took Mom to Maui. Linda in Blizzardy Kansas (6 to 9 inches of snow, on top of ice cuz it rained first and the roads couldn't be treated, 13 degrees with 6 wind chill, 45 mph winds!) I miss Hawaii. Hugz to all.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess if you stayed home once in a while.....:-)
ReplyDeleteWe can wait for your travel reports and anything else you care to share. Stay well and don't forget to have fun.
Oh you need to care for KAY! We get it, but please. No disappear, eh?
