Our lovely friends Yulia and Dan Merriam are visiting us from California this week. Dan is an amazing artist and I highly recommend that you go to his web site! Click HERE now.
Check out this box of candy that Yulia and Dan brought to us, from Chocolatier BLUE in Berkeley, California. Really, they are just too beautiful to eat.
Jan Kasprzycki - Wendy Hudson - Daniel Merriam
Back when Yulia and Dan lived on Maui, several times a year we’d have artist gatherings, so this week a few of us met up. I realize everyone reading this may not be into art as much as we are, but if you have a moment you may enjoy checking out the different websites. They are all accomplished artists in their different mediums.
Again, here is Dan’s site, http://www.danielmerriam.com/

Unfortunately, Jan’s beautiful wife, Kathy, was out of town this week. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ve seen her photo posted on several of my hikes. Jan Kasprzycki’s site, http://www.kasprzycki.com/

Okay, so last week I went to the production of ‘Ulalena and then dined at Mala Ocean Tavern, and now this week I ate my way through an evening of good food while visiting with friends at our house; I am ready for some exercise this coming week!!!!
Ready for the gathering
Less food – More play – I’ll do my best!
