Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday from Coastal Virginia. Slip and his family members are sleepy in this morning, resting after a long hard hike Thursday to a waterfall on the island. LOL

Happy Aloha Friday from Salem Oregon. We got back from our 3 week stay in San Jose del Cabo on Wednesday. When we got to the truck at the PDX Long Term Parking the Battery was dead. We were Parked near the Office. Patti walked over and it turns out they have a free service to help. Took about 10 minutes for the Guy to come with his Truck to jump start us. He must have had a Super Charger in his Truck because it took only about a minute of Charge for us to start. We had two choices on Freeways to take Home. I205 to I84 to I5 or I205 to I5. The first Route goes through Downtown Portland and over the Marquam Bridge. Patti hates the Marquam Bridge especially at night. So we took the 1st Route. Unfortunately on I205 there was a fatal accident a bit past Oregon City that had I205 shut down completely. Traffic was backed up about 2 miles on I205 to an exit. Then a detour through side streets and neighborhoods. This added about 30 minutes to what should have been a 1 hour trip. Finn (our GSP) was excited to see us. It took him about 30 minutes to calm down. He liked the Dog Toy we brought him. It took about a day for the Cats to warm up to us. Today is suppose to be 50°F as a high and mostly cloudy.
 
This isn’t the Pacific Ocean, and I’m actually about 10 miles inland from the Atlantic, but it is one beautiful day on The First Coast!
Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

Happy Aloha Friday from the upstate of South Carolina. 26 and sunny this morning. Sunshine and mid 50s today and tomorrow then heavy rain all day Sunday. Everyone enjoy your Friday wherever you are.
 
Happy Aloha Friday. It's been a while since I posted here. We spent the past month on the mainland visiting family (fortunately I have a remote job). It rained a bunch at home while we were away, and it continued after we arrived. It's currently 73 with a high of 77 today.


We visited the World Equestrian Center during our trip. Here are some pics from our time there.

Yes, we're a little late today. We are back at our condo and it felt good to sleep in. Lol

Happy Aloha Friday!! Michelle and Justin leave tomorrow evening. Time went by fast but it was a great visit!!❤️

This week's picture keeps us on Molokai and over to the Kaunakakai Wharf where we left for our whale watch. The sun was rising beautiful that morning.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!🤙🏻🌴🌺😎
 
Happy Friday the 13th! We are still at our home in Reno for a few more days. Today was 49 degrees, clear & sunny, so we took a walk along the Truckee River, which is nearby. There are miles of paved trails along the river, so it's a great place to walk when it is wet or snowy, and you don't want to walk in the mud. We have a big snow storm coming in soon, so we wanted to get a walk in before it hits:

I always think of this song when anyone mentions Truckee, "They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through"
 
Happy Aloha Friday. Last August we gave our aussie doodle to a nice family. Her name is Roxy and by the time we gave her to this new hpme she was trained to do many things. The new family knows we love Roxy so we get updates. Today is her birthday. This is the update picture sent todsy. I think we picked the right fsmily.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Still windy here on Molokai but it sounds like it may be better over the weekend. 🤙🏻


This week's picture keeps us here on Molokai and out with Molokai Ocean Tours. This tour is great and this year was no exception. We had two nice breechs really close to us and saw many other whales rolling, Flapping and showing their tails. It was a perfect day to be out on the water. Michelle got this great shot. 🤙🏻

Happy Aloha Friday!

We're back in MN. It's cold, but the sunsets can be pretty here too.

Happy Aloha Friday from Salem Oregon. I have had a bad cold for a week. By the timing of when I started showing symptoms I caught it on the flight home from San Jose del Cabo.
 
Happy Aloha Friday from here on The First Coast! Spring is springing here, ahead of another cold front coming next week. However, it’s a beautiful morning with blue skies and some wispy clouds heading up to a high of 84 today and tomorrow. I think I’ll go for a walk now.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
 
Happy Aloha Friday from Upstate South Carolina. Record high of 77 yesterday and looking for another record near 80 today, but cold coming back Sunday night about 25. Wishing everyone a great day wherever you are.
 
Happy Aloha Friday. We made it to Southern California but so did winter storms. Its forcast to warm up starting today. The view from the deck is a mix of weather.

Happy Aloha Friday!

I had a root canal yesterday, and I'm glad it's done! 🦷🫢

Reno is cold and clear today - no more snow predicted until Tuesday.

Happy Aloha Friday! We’re having roller coaster weather now - highs in 80s and high 70s followed by highs in 60s with chance of frost! We’ll keep our tender plants inside a few more weeks.
 
Happy Aloha Friday from Salem Oregon. We are having Spring like Weather in the 50's and 60's.

Today is a sad day for me. Jellybean (one of my favorite Dogs) at the Humane Society is going down. He was very particular whom he liked. I was one of his chosen ones. Unfortunately many of the Dog Handlers (Volunteer and Professional Staff) have had major problems with him. He has failed several adoptions due to major behavior issues. So after months and months the difficult decision was made to put him down. I could not adopt him because Finn has made it very clear he does not want another Dog in the House. Also we travel 10 to 12 weeks of the year and we could not trust him with our Pet/House Sitter. I will go in early this morning to say good bye to him.

Happy Aloha Friday from upstate South Carolina. We spent 3 days earlier this week at Ocean Enclave in Myrtle Beach. Cold and windy highs mid 40s and 25 mph winds. Lots of rain here yesterday. Looks good next few days.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! February flew by and now we move into March. Spring is closing in. 🤙🏻

Since February flew by, we use a picture of Diamond Head on Oahu. This was taken as we flew over on a flight on Mokulele Airlines. One nice thing about those small planes Is the view. Each seat has a window and it's like your own private plane.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!🤙🏻🌴🌺😎
 
Happy Aloha Friday from Seattle where it's 44 and cloudy. I had a similar thought as @slip this week. Left for a business trip earlier this week so I have 2 pics of Diamond Head from above. I return home today to a high of 78. Currently at the airport waiting to board.
