| Us -- then. |
His ad in the personals column said he wanted a “woman
who would inspire his creativity and he hers…and who was ready for the love of a lifetime." In her journal she
wrote “this is a man I could spend the rest of my life with.” That was 30 years ago! On May 18th we celebrated that
auspicious first meeting in Santa Cruz. 
May 18th was
marked by another auspicious event here on the Big Island of
Hawaii. Called “Lahina Noon,” this phenomenon is evident only in the tropics
when the sun passes directly overhead and when no shadows are visible.
Because the islands are not exactly at the equator, this happens twice…once
before and once after the summer solstice.
At our beautiful Imiloa Astronomy center in Hilo, the atrium window
directly over this beautiful tile mosaic causes the pie shaped shadows to fall
directly on the center of the design. Imiloa Astronomy Center
We celebrated with a lovely
dinner on the lanai of a favorite local restaurant that featured views of BOTH
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa followed by a lively evening of live blues music by Sugar Ray & the Bluetones ***. I decided to create an art piece for our
anniversary using 15 of Phil’s hand carved koa fish that now hangs above the hot tub on our
lanai.

So, 30 years later, we show the same wear and tear as everyone else in our age group. We are thankful that Phil's suit coat is no longer required, and that Lunel's wedding dress featured an elastic waistband. All in all, life is good and we feel truly blessed and grateful for 30 years we have spent together.
