{Weather update}

All remains well in Paradise! Very little wind or rain here in Laie so far. News telling us that Felicia has pretty much been blown out...but aftermath results may still result in wind and rain. Other parts of the Hawaiian Islands have had some strong wind and rain, but not much here. It is VERY humid, due to the overcast condition from the storm...so actually rain would be welcome. We remain well, happy and very busy!

Have a super wonderful day.

Love from hawaii

{Storm update}

Weather here is still "up and down" with Felicia. The storm has been downsized to a Tropical Storm and they keep telling us to be prepared for winds and probably lots of rain, but we haven't had it yet! The water is really churning, however...I love the sound! Last nights forecast told us to expect the wind and rain to start late today and into tonight...but we are soooooooooooooo prepared...and so NOT worried!

We will keep you posted!

Love from sunny Hawaii !!

Hurricane Felicia

Just wanted to send a note and say Hi and let you know about the weather here, just in case you have heard about it on TV.

We are still watching "Hurricane Felicia" to see how it is going to affect our island, if at all. Everyone is on alert to move to shelters and have our emergency supplies ready and on hand. The news said tonight that they think she will hit the islands tomorrow night, but she is dying down and the winds have been 180 MPH, and now are about 100 MPH. By the time she reaches us, they hope it will only be 75-80 MPH, which classifies it as a Tropical Storm and not a class 1 Hurricane! So they tell us to plan for wind and possible a lot of rain from Mon. night through Tue. or Wed. But then again, it could change course and miss us completely! Amid it all, we are not even worried! We have our 72 hour supplies by the door and life goes on as usual. Actually, sort of fun to see how everyone handles it! Certainly they do prepare and plan for what could be! I guess living on an island, you need to know and be prepared for such things. No need to worry about us...things are good. By Thur. or Fri. she will have passed us and probably be blown out. The ocean is certainly churning tonight however, we love to hear it out of our windows...great for sleeping!

Just wanted to update all of you and tell you how much we love you, miss you, and are thinking about you. Everyone is so busy with work, church, school starting, etc.

We pray for you every day.

Love to all
