Montana Road Trip 2010, Part Three

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Mokihana

Kʻden. Leaving ʻono grindz and Walla Walla behind, we headed out into the lovely Palouse country for the second time in six months. We really had to push it in order to see everything we could before dark fell.

Montana Road Trip 2010, Part Two

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Mokihana

We didn’t stop in McNary but drove on through, because we had miles and miles to go before we got to our motel in Orofino. Since I am always the trip planner, I’d gone online and found what looked like a great motel there and had made reservations. And since we’d gotten such a late start, ‘way later than we’d planned, we needed to keep going.

Aloha ʻoe e Kukui

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Mokihana

As the years went by, Nolemana and I found that Kukui was the perfect doggie for us. Well, except for her garbage mouth, that is. Every single minute it seemed that she was snorfling (yes, that is a real word because I made it up!) all the time, trying to find the least little crumb that she could eat. Sometimes it drove us crazy, the way she would snorfle, as if she weren’t getting fed enough. But if she had any faults, that was the only one, and it paled in the light of all her other good qualities.

Kukui, Part Two

Posted on August 19, 2012 by Mokihana

Back at the motel, Nolemana and I had a bite to eat… and we talked about Cuddles, but really, our minds were already made up. We didn’t need to make another trip out to Gramma’s to see if we wanted to bring the doggie home with us. We knew we’d only be going back to get her and bring her home with us.

Kukui

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Mokihana

In November, 2003, Nolemana and I made an eight-hour drive to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was a trip which had been in the works for a couple of months, with ukubillion emails flying back and forth between me and the person we were going to see. In a way, it was a bittersweet trip, yet not without hope and anticipation. Continue reading →

One Year Today

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Mokihana

I couldn’t let this day go by without taking note that it was one year ago today that I lost my beloved ʻUkulele. I miss you, my girl. Every single day.

R-Games

Posted on July 29, 2012 by Mokihana

So yesterday, with my friend Nancy for moral support, I frogged (ripped out) two socks. I was going to finish them (they were pretty darn close to being done) and knit their mates for the R-Games. Well, that ain’t gonna happen. That was too discouraging. So I decided to finish another sock I found and knit it’s mate, and to do some spinning as well. Because girls just wanna have fun, ya know?

Ravelympics Ravellenic Games

Posted on July 27, 2012 by Mokihana

I got so busy during the Tour de Fleece that I forgot to post photos for that. I will, I will. And now it’s time for the Ravelry Ravellenic Games, which used to be called the Ravelympics, but we can’t say that anymore. The US Olympic Committee said so. So the powers that be on Ravelry changed the name to the Ravellenic Games, which is quite a mouthful.

Holoholo Kaʻa to Amity, Part Two

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Mokihana

You know, sometimes I get so upset with myself for not keeping this blog updated! I have so many photos to share, and then I get distracted or have to spend more time working, and it seems to vanish into the ether somewhere. I never finished the kitty story, never finished my drive to Amity! I keep saying I’ll do better and then I don’t. I should just schedule a weekly time to do it.

So here I am, a month and a half later, trying to finish the Amity drive, Because really, I loved doing it and it was so much fun crossing and re-crossing the river. Continue reading →
