Sailing Takes Me Away To Where I Always Heard It Should Be - Christopher Cross

Comments (4)
Click on the photo above to hear the song. Can't upload my Playlist here, there's no flash. This song by Christopher Cross came about I believe around the 80's which is right around the time my then husband and I opened a surf shop on Guam which quickly turned into more of a sailboard shop. I used to just love to sail and just cruise, no gnarly stuff for me, and I would hear this song play over and over in my head while I sailed. It was so relaxing and whenever I finished sailing I would feel so invigorated! I remember me and my family, well the girls, and our friends would eat mostly...

New! Lime Green Wire Wrapped Earrings and Pendant

Be the first to comment
When I first started collecting beach sea glass I wasn't really aware of the colors. Just seeing it washing up was exciting so I collected everything! Of course, most of the beach sea glass ended up being browns or various shades of browns. Next was the greens, kelly greens. I just figured there were more Budweiser Beer drinkers than Heineken Beer drinkers! Well, that may be partly true. The next most common color I began finding was the white frost beach sea glass. That glass I would find washed up on shore in abundance. I began to ponder that maybe the browns and whites washed up mostly...

Sea Glass Christmas Ornaments

Be the first to comment
I made these Christmas ornaments on Sunday (it wasn't a very good beach sea glass collecting day) but forgot to post them yesterday so here I am early in the morning drinking coffee and posting Christmas Ornaments! What a cheery way to start off a morning! Speaking of cheery, here is a photo of the Christmas Ornaments I made: If it doesn't look cheery to you in the photo wait until you hang them on your Christmas tree and just watch as the lights bounce and reflect off of these cheery ornaments made of white frost beach sea glass wrapped in red copper wire making them look like gifts...

Rel's Homemade Chicken Soup

Be the first to comment
My daughter Rel has been taking cooking classes at a youth center she is part of on Maui. She's made all manner of dishes and desserts and when she's finished she always makes sure she makes me a plate. So recently to help me out she's been cooking dinner for us when my oldest daughter doesn't cook (she has a newborn baby, goes to college full time, and works part time) when she's here at our house.Last night, because the weather's been so stormy on Maui, I felt like eating soup. We had the chicken so we went to the store and these are the ingredients she had me buy: carrots and celery.I...

Natural Maui Beach Sea Glass Find 11-11-09

Be the first to comment
This was a pretty interesting day. There was a storm lurking around. It had rained the night before in Kahului but today was just a really overcast day with little rays of sunshine trying to peek out. I went early in the morning with my sea glass hunting partner, Richard, my son. He's a trooper getting up with me almost every morning early to go look for sea glass. He always ends up jumping in the water to body board though so it's not so bad. There was someone already there when I got there but he was looking for puka shells mostly. I managed to collect quite a bit in the morning....

Every day is a good beach sea glass collecting day because everyday I get at least one beach sea glass that can become the missing piece for a pair of <a href="http://naturalmaui.wordpress.com/natural-maui-sea-beach-glass-earrings/"><span style="color: #3366ff;">beach sea glass earrings</span></a> or a <a href="http://naturalmaui.wordpress.com/natural-maui-sea-beach-glass-pendants/"><span style="color: #3366ff;">pendant</span></a> or a part for a <a href="http://naturalmaui.wordpress.com/natural-maui-sea-glass-bracelets/"><span...
