Farewell Hawaii house

Well, it is official. Papers signed Monday. And, it appears that our VW eGolf (electric) will also sell this week. We head to Reno on March 30 and stay in Carson City for the entire month of April. We will get to see our older grandchildren and spend time with them. Oh, and of course, their parents, our daughter and her husband, Kim & Sven.

We are leaving behind here in Hawaii all of Hamilton's dog friends and their families who have become part of our community. We spent lots of hours in the small dog park and the dogs play joyfully as the owners are entertained and chat about life here, families all over the world and the latest on the COVID vaccination front. We will also miss our dear neighbors to the North of us who have shared so much over the last year and then some. We are now at Kona Zona where we lived before and it has been fun to be part of this little neighborhood. We are looking forward to seeing family and friends on the mainland and part of us will be missing our small hunk of island life. 

We are trying to be on vacation as much as possible. With the past year spent getting the house together, then getting it ready to sell, and of course Covid, we have not spent much time at the beach. So for the next 2 weeks we think we are going to be regular beach-goers. We have started doing morning walks at some very nice beaches where we have seen whales off the shore, and can sit on beach chairs in the shade while we contemplate the vastness of the pacific ocean.

We look forward to our return to the mainland. It has been way too long since we have hugged grandchilren, family or friends. And having received our second Pfizer vaccine, we feel reasonably safe to travel with masks. 

And so we begin another new chapter of the adventures of Judy & Mike--stay tuned.
