Echoes of Rainbows

Yesterday my Tai Chi friend, Virginia, and I went to the Garden Club of America Major Flower & Horticulture Show presented by the Garden Club of Honolulu.  It was held at the Honolulu Museum of Art.  It was amazing!  Afterward we had a delicious Vietnamese lunch.  What a great day!!  Here are a few pictures from our day - hope you enjoy!

This is the inside courtyard of the museum.  These displays are made from plastic bottles, to remind us how much space plastic bottles take up in landfills. 

This was made of real flowers and plastic

Taken from another angle - isn't this cool?

Necklace made from Coconut Palm, Green Peppercorn, Ti Plant, Coriander Seed, Black Bean and Coral Tree

Earrings made from Eucalytus leaves, Carob tree leaves and Coriander seed

Virgina was laughing at me taking all these pictures of plastic

On this one and the next 2, they had to take a picture of their garden from where the plant material they used is grown

Back to the Blog

It's been over a year since I posted anything. I will try to do better! We have done a lot this past year. We've had 16 houseguests, (I think.) I've been to Texas twice and we've been to the Big Island and Maui. And we have a new granddaughter! I'll try to add the highlights of the last year and then try to be a better blogger.

I've known Sherry since 2nd grade!  That means we've been friends, well, for a long time!!  She came to see us in June.  The first is at my favorite restaurant, Ola, which is right on the beach. 

Another favorite restaurant, Buzz's, is across the street from a beach.

This is at Turtle Bay Resort where Ola's is located.  This is a monk seal napping on the beach.  Pretty cool.

This is Susan, Jon's sister-in-law. she came for a psychiatrist convention and then spent a few days for us. Here she is with her lei, in our back yard. And below that at one of our favorite eating spots, Waioli Tea Room, run by the Salvation Army.
