It's AUGUST!!

Mango Road, Warm Ponds

We just finished our 12th week of construction on the really cute ohana, and are really seeing the end of the project, probably 95% done by Lunel's birthday on the 14th -- and this year she turns 65!!

Yesterday and today we did a primer coat of paint on all the dry wall surfaces in the entire apartment!  Phil was also busy painting trim for finishing up the windows inside AND painting our new front door.  (Watch for a picture of the new door soon.)

Lunel did most of the wall sanding and painting today, and then also went around and scraped up dried dry wall mud and vacuumed all the floors so next week the bamboo flooring can go in.

So by 4pm today the "reward" was a drive to the ocean!  And, it really is just a short one too.  In just 10 minutes we are at the ocean, and could swim right there, or we can drive 4 more minutes down to the warm ponds that are heated by steam vents below the surface.

To get their, we just make one right turn at the end of our block, and another left turn that takes us down "Mango Pohoiki Road" -- and this time of year YES, there are mangoes laying on the ground on either side for anyone to pick up and have a juicy treat on the way!
