Judy, was our hostess for the Divas. She sent a kit to us with a music theme. There were so many fun things to use in the kit, it was hard to decide what to use! Then I saw the little Hawaiian boy image and I was so using that image.
As I am sure that a lot of you already know, DH and I love the Hawaiian islands. It is a favorite place of ours. We really try to go and sink our toes in the sand and take in the culture every year. There really is no place like it. The locals are No Ka Oi {the best}!
We have not been able to visit the past few years due to elderly pets, a new pet, elderly parents and simply not being able to get away from obligations. In fact, we just relived our last visit this weekend sitting on the sofa, eyes closed and five hours away. Oh, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone!
Okay...back to reality...Judy asked us to share a song and who we would dedicate it to. I saw the image for the card, thought of the islands, which made me think of DH and how this is one of the first songs we play in the rental car when we arrive in Hawaii! Alright, we sing the chorus when we are in the sun outside here too. Or we will sing it loud to our neighbor across the fence if we are all outside - she too is an island lover.
The image for the kit this round reminded me of one of our favorite places to eat when in Maui. It is the Hula Grill in Kaanapali. A great place for dinner, or just pull up to the barefoot bar and listen to the live music. Aaaahhhhhh.....
Thanks Judy, for a great kit and fun challenge!
