Second Tuesday.

Yesterday I mentioned the little church…but I failed to mention that when a member of this church passes away, they  leave a lei on the back of the pew where they sat on the first Sunday after their passing and no one sits on that spot. This is a wonderful tribute to that person.

When we were there, there were two different spots with leis. I don’t know of any other church where they acknowledge an individual in that manner. It is beautiful.

Yesterday, our honeymooners went on a whale watching cruise. They loved it.. probably because they were alone without us with them. It was about 2 hours long and then we drove up to Ka’anapali for lunch and….you guessed it….more shopping. Home for dinner (our last one with Don’s sister and our new brother-in-law) and sitting around talking until bedtime.

Tomorrow, after a lovely breakfast it is off to the airport and sending them back to a West Coast kind of winter. Brrr!

Sunday in Makena

This morning the four of us went to Makena and visited the Keawala’i United Church. This, my friends is one place not to miss. The church was built in 1832 and is so enjoyable. The service is in Hawaiian and then in English, except for the hymns. They are sung in the Hawaiian language.

The people there are so welcoming and the minister is Hawaiian and so very soft spoken. The name means “peaceful place’ and it truly is.

Following a sumptuous luncheon at the church we left to go to the Wailea shopping center and we saw some beautiful things. After a little shopping we came home for a lovely dinner and again, a few hands of Sequence.

Tomorrow our honeymooners are taking a whale watching cruise and then we are off to Kahana for even more shopping and, of course, lunch.
