Flowers

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. My Grandma said after she and my Grandpa had lived in New Zealand that the beauty was comparable only to the Garden of Eden. By seeing the beauty of this island, I can understand why she would say that of another island.
I love the expression on his face- we are so happy to have eachother.

I took so many pictures of flowers with nothing in them for scale- as my Grandpa always would have us put a book or scale or ice pick in for scale- I didn't want to disturb the beauty.


On a hike, taking time to smell the fragrance of nature.



Last flower picture- I have loved books like The Secret Garden and the expressions in Anne of Green Gables "light way to light"- I am so hapy to have such a beautiful garden right outside my own house now.





Honeymoon Food

This was our first real meal in Hawaii- baked ono- it was so delicious. Perhaps it was even more delicious because we ate this after the 5 mile hike which turned into a 10 mile hike. More delicious seafood after another day of hiking.

This was a great breakfast place, though you would not have guessed it from the outside. The staff wear scrubs and serve the food on carts that we use in the hospital. However, the banana pancakes with cocunut macadamian syrup were divine. And while I have forgotten the name of it- which is another reason to not wait years to scrapbook your honeymoon pictures- he is eating a typical dish which is rice, a small hamburger patty, a fried egg with gravy on top. It is actually not that bad.


Of course, what would a record of Cotter Consumption be without sushi? I am trying to learn to like sushi, and because it makes him so happy to eat it- I can't deny him his love for raw fish. And- had I never gone,thanks first to Jena, then Buck- I never would have tried edamame which I do enjoy.
