 “Morning” Cedar Park, 2023

Today’s photo is actually two. One taken as the sun was just rising, and the other as it was setting. The day seemed to go by so quickly today.

I’m thinking of cutting down my caffeine intake. It’s been hovering at 2 cups of coffee per day, but starting tomorrow, I’ll make two at the lowest “strength” setting on our machine. Let’s see how that goes. I do enjoy decaf coffee too, so maybe one cup of lighter coffee in the morning, and one cup of decaf in the afternoon?

 “Hawaiian Host” Honolulu, 2022

Today we flew back home to Texas. While at the airport I took a photo of the boxes of Hawaiian Host candies. My grandfather was an artist and teacher, and drew the original tiki that has been on the box since the beginning. (see below)

For the past year or so, the company has been transitioning to a new box design, and the tiki is now embossed in gold, but I noticed that the drawing is slightly changed. Small details like the shape of the hands, the nose, and teeth have been updated. I’m sad to see the original box go, but at least we have photos!

Anyways, our vacation to Maui and Molokai has come to an end. It was a spectacular trip with plenty of excellent experiences and good memories created. I’m very happy!
