The O.C.

It's been a crazy, busy month. My wife Denni and I flew the red-eye to LAX and drove into the OC to spend Thanksgiving with my sisters and their husbands. I have four sisters and I am the second oldest. It's been a while since we were all in the same room together and it was great to spend time with all of them. My sis Patty above is facing a health challenge right now and I know she would welcome your prayers.

The handsome older gentleman below is her husband Joe, he lives for golf and of course, Patty.



















This young couple are Steve and Alex, Steve and I were buds and neighbors from Junior High. We spent a morning with them at the Starbucks on the circle in the city of Orange. This is a wonderful place with a great little downtown area. It is so great to get together with friends you haven't seen in a long time and just get caught up on life. Wish I could talk some of them into moving to Maui, you'd think that would be an easy sell.


I took a lot of photos while I was there and I had all the best intentions of getting a shot of me and my four sisters and one of the four of them together. Seems with all the goings on I never got those shots, guess I could have used an assistant with a shoot list.


My sisters have all the old family photographs going way back. You'll never guess who this good looking cowboy is. Some traveling photographer had a good day with this setup, there are photos of all of us on this pony

As great as it was to see friends and family it's good to be home on Maui; L.A. and the O.C. are just a little too intense for me after four years here. Looking forward to the Christmas holiday and a chance to spend time with Ohana here. I miss a white Christmas but I'm getting used to Christmas lights on palm trees, I'll post some of those as soon a I can get to the south side.
