Maui Vacation - March 2009

We spent 10 glorious days in Maui, soaking up the sun and enjoying time together playing on the beach, swimming at the pool and taking in the beauty of this marvelous island.

We all had a wonderful trip and the photos below are just a sampling of the fun we had!

The swimming pool at our condo provided hours of fun in the sun

Farewell until our next visit!

TO MY CHOLOLATE FRIEND

To my wonderful chocolate friend, Sprig. Thank you for letting me love on you for over 14 years. Thank you for coming into my life when nothing was a sure thing and everything was unstable, except you, the one constant companion in my life 14 years ago. Thank you for all the ducks you retrieved for me, although more often than not with a little help. Thank you for sleeping in my bed yet willingly taking the floor when a husband filled your spot. Thank you for accepting the two little boys that immediately took over your space and so much of the attention you once received from me. Thank you for all the joy you brought to me. May you rest now.
