Sam Moved out :(  But great news, she is living on a farm in Kilauea.  She's learning all about goats, goat cheese, milking, gardening and just about everything on the farm.  She is love'n it.  I miss her living with me but look forward to my daughter owning her own farm one day soon.

The tsunami was a great exercise in preparedness.  We had a couple here to walk through the process and they did great.  They really got into it.  I moved canoes from the harbor area, with the trailer, from 6am to 9:30 when they closed the roads.  Then returned back later in the day to move some back and others to another location for a different race.  Ours was cancelled, of course, but the Sunday special event went as planned. 

Sam, Heather, Tina, and Makoa (the dog) did the hard stuff while I was gone.  Filling the propane, getting some groceries.  When I came back we had a nice cookout with the guests.  Fun day, but hard work.  Thank goodness that was all there was.

Photos: Derek & Erin, our Tsunami guests - Sam & friend Tina (the fantastic cook during our adventure) as we try to take a look at "surge" from up the road a bit.

Janine & David, from Oregon, called the day they got home from Kaua'i.  It was 6 degrees and their water line broke in the car when they started it at the airport.  You know what?  Janine was only excited to ask about Makoa (the dog) and how the new kitchen setup was faring than about having to tow their car home after a long journey.  Kaua'i does that to you. It makes you feel renewed.  But, you know, it's not just about living in paradise, it's about getting to run a vacation rental on Kaua'i and meeting people like Janine & David. 

On their last day they totally redid the kitchenette in the Cottage.  Can you believe they run a business doing custom cabinetry and fixed ours on their vacation?  Ok, maybe a little bit workaholics.  They put in a new sink and faucet, replaced and tiled the counter, reset the frig to a decent location and built shelves to hold the microwave and the pots and pans.  They are amazing and we were so blessed to have them!

Thank you both!

Adam & Elizabeth (Adam & Eve), from Georgia, are staying in the cottage this week.  We happened to go to the Gaylord's Luau Kalamaku last night and look who we met up with! The show was fantastic and the food was delish.

I put an advertisement on http://Craigslist.com in the Barter section and Andre Morozov,  from Alaska, answered the ad to carve a dolphin for the front entrance to Kauai Dawn Cottage & my home.  In December, 2008 I advertised a coconut tree carving.  He up using some wood I could get and carved a fantastic Spinner Dolphin and mounted it on the coconut tree.  It was a fantastic opportunity to see work in progress and I loved hosting Andre, his wife, daughters, and mother.  I feel so blessed to have received this carving.
