Lots of Lava, No Snow
Whew! My folks actually made it to Hawaii just in time to avoid the first big dump of the season. Great timing to get out. Dad and his wife have been saving all their lives for this 3-week vacation and with a stubborn cancer rearing it's ugly head every few months, it's a much needed respite for my Stepmom.
Already this morning, a heartwarming text message came through on my cell that proclaimed that Hawaii "is the most beautiful place in the world." Granted, I'd much prefer laying in the sand than shoveling my driveway for the third time today.

Good for them! I hope they get over to the Big Island to see the volcanoes. I lived there years ago surrounded by avocado and papaya trees. It's a very special place. On the west side of the island, it rains often but it's a soft, warm rain and stops at noon. And Kona coffee can't be beat. It even has great public transportation!
Memories like that should go a long way to beat the winter blues when they return...I know that I think about Hawaii often....the land and its people who couldn't be nicer.
