Hawaii: Kaua'i

Light house on north shore

This was the location they filmed the first season of the old TV series "Gilligan's Island.". Here was where the SS Minnow went aground.

Just a quiet spot we found for a picnic.

Last day of 2019



  Good bye 2019!  We will be sending the old year out and greating the New Year here in Kauai by swimming at the beach in the morning attending a wonderful Luau in the evening.  Not a bad way to end the old year!

   Hobby wise 2019 saw me painting less (a lot less) but playing more more games.  I hope for 2020 to add to the number of games I will play.  In addition I have reinforcements on my painting table waiting the paint brush.  More figures to add to my American Rev War armies as well as some civilians.  I have a few terrain projects that need to be done and ideas for games.  Lastly, I have a few research articles to share.  So 2020 is shaping up to be a interesting year.  See you all then.  Happy New Years to you all.

Mele Kalikimaka



  🎶"Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
In a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway..."🎶



    This year, Janine and I decided to do something different for Christmas and New Years.  After celebrating earlier in the month with Alexandra and Nathaniel we were off to Hawaii. No snow or cold weather, but sun and swaying palm trees as the song says.

   I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.




  To celebrate the day we wanted to do something special.  So we went out to the Waipi'o Valley.  It is incredibly beautiful.



  Merry Christmas to all my friends here and in this wonderful hobby.  I hope you have had a great day.
