All is Well with the Mole Family
We are extremely fortunate in that Frankenstorm left us relatively unscathed and that we had plenty of warning that it was coming. Much of the weekend was spent preparing for an extended time without power. Jim, who was in Tokyo, changed his flight and got back Sunday night (instead of Monday afternoon). We were all…

Chronicles of the Mole Family, Chapter 14
Technically, I suppose we aren’t the Mole Family anymore, as we have moved above ground (shading our eyes from the vicious daylight).

Our Hawaii Vacation
We just returned from a fabulous week in Honolulu where the skies were blue, the ocean even bluer, and it was 80 degrees every day. Oahu is our favorite island, mostly because we aren’t sit-on-the-beach kind of people, so there is more to do in Honolulu than anywhere else. That’s not to say we didn’t…
