Jaseeka Girl!

Ok so I can not help my self.
I seem to be missing my Jessica who is a college student in the State of Oregon.
So in her honor, I thought I would post a few photos of the missing girl. The nick name Jaseeka was given to her by a crazy tennis coach named Jeffrey who loved to call her this, it just sorta fit her personality.

Last summer Jessica decided that it would be fun to work at a kids summer camp some where on the East coast..After a few on line applications, she was hired and off she went to New Hampshire to help teach kids tennis. I was able to steal a few hours of her time during my visit. She lived and worked camp Robin Hood and had a summer she will never forget. I am pretty sure this was all because when she was a 10 year old she had hidden desire to be sent to one of these camps....Too much TV... But hey she got there!

Soo Bahk Do anybody??

I can not even pronouce the name let alone think about learning the moves.... Brother Ray and his two boys Dustin and Justin are giving us a few examples of this art. I just like to see them in clean white clothes for a change :-)

Birthday Bash #87

Happy Birthday Mom!
I hope that when I turn 87 I look as great as you do :-)

Aunt Lorraine (moms baby sister) and husband Roy have helped us celebrate moms birthday for the last four years. It is such a treat to have them here and to get the two sisters back together again. I always learn something new about them both....Did you know that Grandma liked Mom best?!! Well if it makes you feel any better Lorraine, you are my favorite Auntie !!

A good time was held by all...Thanks mom for getting us all together again for your special day. We love you!

Birthdays...tiss the season!

In honor of Sharona's recent birthday, we played hooky from work, stole a few kyacks and headed for Makena landing. We saw a few whales...and took our time. Hunger struck, and off we went to indulge in a fab picnic lunch including the delivery of a birthday baloon and gifts from our lonely employee miss Corina. So the whole Trading Places Maui crew sits on the beach in awe of our Vice President and her many talents....one of which is displayed in these photos... I would have more pictures of our day, but Giampaolo is holding out .... not something I am sure he is very good at :-)

Tuesday Tennis Addicts....

So now you know what I do with my afterhours... I hang out with some crazy and wild tennis addicts. High winds...That is what the wind screens are for...But the rain....Well, it sent us all home with out our full fix...Look what happens to Allegra with out her full tennis fix! Yes, Yes her name sounds like a medication you take for your sinus problems, but don't mention that around her...It makes her mad. Then we have Maddie looking all innocent, she may be petite, but she hits a mean ball...It is that New Jersey attitude, so forgetaboutit! And our local gal Cheryl...Silent but deadly on the courts...I am sure she was wondering how she ended up with all of us Haoles...
