Happy Autumn • Hauoli Haule lau!

The third season of the year, when crops and fruits are gathered and leaves fall and "the countryside is ablaze with color..."

How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
-John Burrough

"You expected to be sad in the Fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the Spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen."
-Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Autumn days come quickly, like the running of a hound on the moor. –Irish proverb

☉ Aug 1: First Day of the Month Rabbit Rabbit Day
"Rabbit rabbit rabbit" is one variant of a superstition found in Britain and North America that states that a person should say or repeat the word "rabbit" or "rabbits", or "white rabbits", or some combination of these elements, out loud upon waking on the first day of the month, because doing so will ensure good luck ...

Aloha dear 'Ohana, friends & followers, a summer update for you: As most of you well know, we - Kolleen and I - have been very challenged in many ways since the wildfires of last August. Fortunately, business has picked up some, but it's still nowhere close to covering all of our monthly expenditures. We're still exploring every option available to try and stay on top of our money needs, and a whole lot of truly wonderful and kind people have come to our aid, and kept us afloat, but the need for additional help continues on. Again, if any of you can be of any new or further assistance, we would be forever grateful. If you can, please consider the following options. Thank You Very Much! With love and appreciation from us, may God bless us all. ❤

❀Memorial Day and Labor Day are bookend holidays, marking the beginning and end of the summer holidays in the United States. These three-day weekends traditionally are times for celebration and family outings. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May, in honor of those who lost their lives while in the service of our country. It became a federal holiday in 1971 and originated in 1868, when Union General John A. Logan designated a day in which the graves of Civil War soldiers would be decorated. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday was changed to Memorial Day within 20 years, becoming a holiday dedicated to the memory of all war dead.

Aloha dear 'Ohana, Friends & Followers. As many of you well know, we - Kolleen and I - have been very challenged in many ways since the wildfires of last August. It's now been exactly one year since I was diagnosed with throat cancer, and after a six-weeks-long series of radiation therapy treatments last October and November, the cancer was overcome, but the post-treatment ordeal has been the most horrible experience of my life. I can't eat solid food of any kind, my diet strictly one of liquid nourishment taken via a tube in my belly. My mouth is is often bone-dry, especially at night, and nothing I've tried yet has had any impact on that. My taste buds were fried, so anything I put in my mouth tastes terrible, even plane water. The default taste in my mouth that I can detect has a horrible "metallic" quality to it, and it can't be "washed away," it's omnipresent 24/7. My energy level stinks long-term I can do some things for a very short while, and then I just have to say "enough." I've lost 55 lbs since a year ago, and tend to often get dizzy upon standing. So, that's the medical side of my situation. The financial side is worse. We had four wedding bookings total during March and April, two each month, and none so far this month. There are a few coming up, but two of them are this week, with heavy rain expected until Tuesday, May 21. Good luck. We've been exploring every option available to try and stay on top of our money needs, and via direct emails and social media posts, a whole lot of truly wonderful and kind people have come to our aid, but the need for additional help continues on. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but if any of you can be of any new or further assistance, we would truly be ever grateful. If you can, please consider the following options. Thank You Very Much! With love and appreciation from us, may God bless us all.
