This is a true story that took place twenty-one years ago when Nolemana and I were vacationing for a week at Lake Tahoe, and when I was heavily involved in volunteering with a wildlife rescue organization.

Autumn in Oregon is so beautiful! Everywhere I turn, I see colors of gold and yellow and red, and this year, they seem to be especially lovely.

One of the things I love about knitting is sharing what I know (which admittedly is in a constant state of learning) with others, especially kids. About a month ago, Karie, the wife in the husband-wife team who owns Hawaiian Beanz, told me that her daughter Amanda would like to learn how to knit.

We were at Bible Study at the home of the wahine [woman] I’d given the first one to, and we went outside for some privacy. Continue reading
Last month I was asked to participate in the second Carnival of Aloha. I was surprised, scared, excited, in that order. I’d never even heard of it before! I sent in my story of ti-leaf sliding down Motorcycle Hill, and it was accepted for publication! There are some fabulous blog entries in this months carnival… go checkum out!
