Do you see the window washer?
Our son Dan did all the preliminary planning of the more involved events like snorkeling, zip-lining, pineapple farm, etc. so the drives would be coordinated instead of zig zagging all around the island. Thanks, Dan.
On Friday October 2nd he planned a relaxing free day with no special events.
We had pool time and beach time and lots of photo time. We ended the day with dinner at Duke’s Restaurant which was right on our resort property.
Greg and I were captured on the path as we walked to Duke’s for an afternoon refreshment.
Granny Great got hit by a wave! Walking to find some famous Hawaii Shaved Ice…
A Wheelchair was rented to save Granny Great from the extra long stretches of walking.
There be three gentle and goodlie things
To be here
To be together
And to think well of one another

Thank you, to Lorrie (Fabric Paper Thread) for posting this quote I lifted for our time in Hawaii.
~
I was reading an article from Paul Tripp Ministries while in Maui and the title of a new teaching series (Mercy Triumphs over Judgement) where he shared his favorite verse of 2026,
James 2:13:
“For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”
~
As I sat amongst the twelve of us in Maui with different quirks and different personalities I thought this was a perfect verse to dwell on and consider…
Our third day was a full travel to experiences day. Saturday will take a few posts to cover.
