Swell
Today was possibly the most perfect day this whole month. Okay, so it's only the first day of the month, but it couldn't have gone any better!
A nice swell came rolling in to my favorite beach and we went to surf there this morning. Jetty Betty and her daughter are here on Maui so we got to meet there at the beach . She's very sweet and has an accent--not the voice I imagined in my head!
Thanks for taking time out to meet us, Betty!
I had such a good time I begged hubby to let us go back after we picked up the boys from school. So we did! Boy were they happy!
Noa and his friend fished until sunset
Hubby and I took turns watching the babies while the other one surfed. I got to go out three times today and he only went out twice : )
Here the twins just abandoned clothes
altogether.
I find it ironic that as I spent my day reveling in utter gloriousness, there are people, not just people, but AMERICANS, who are DYING in New Orleans, people who have no food, water, or shelter. I can't stop watching the coverage on TV. It's so hard to take and yet I can't tear my eyes away. I had no idea it was so bad, until I turned it onto one of those 24 hour news channels and I saw the VERY streets we walked just a few years ago immersed in water. The beautiful Garden District, is that gone too? I can't believe it. And I don't understand why we can't send in emergency supplies immediately. What's up with that? It's just so heartbreaking. It sounds so cliche, but please, please don't forget to pray for these people. ¶ 10:03 PM

it's weird looking at the devastation... it's surreal that it's America. i'm used to flood footage and watching people on their roof 'coz storms are fierce where i come from. but the violence and the lawlessness going on is what i'm appalled to.
i am in utter disbelief on where you live. when can i visit? we can sit and watch the hurricane coverage together since i cant get enough either!! ok, so pick me up at the airport at noon, k? lol
I only really watched the news yesterday and am shocked about the lack of help those people are receiving. The scenes are so incomprehensible I feel like I am watching a movie. I've kept to my normal posts because I need to be positive.

Your day sounded wonderful, be happy and grateful that you can have those days. As for the mess in New Orleans, it is so sad. I hope and pray that the survivors are taken care of. My work is having a donation day to raise money for them. Anyone who donates 5 bucks can wear jeans to work and we all get to help out those poor people. You can bet I will dontate.
first of all wow! it is awsome you surf.
second wow what pretty pics.
third you lucky dog living somewhere so beautiful.
and forth my heart is also breaking daily for the victams of the huricane just keep praying

I've had the same conflicting emotions - enjoying happy times in my life, sadness and anguish for those who are suffering... guilt for my happy times. We're only human.
I'm glad you got to meet another blogger. Beautiful photos. I wish I could go to the beach and hear the water come in and out. I need that right now.

It's nice meeting other bloggers isn't it? We have fun having get togethers here on Oahu.
It's so sad that all those people have to go through all this turmoil. I pray for them to get help soon. It's just devastating to lose everything as they have.

I am sooooooo jealous that you got to meet Jetty Betty! (I told her the same thing about you on on her blog):)
I had a bit of an angry post yesterday about the hurricane. I've calmed down a bit, but I'm still mad. I think it stinks that whenever there is a tragedy like this everyone looks for someone to blame. I'm doing my part in the relief efforts. But your plea for prayers is great! It's going to be REALLY rough for the next several months!
If I'm ever on Maui I'll look you up! :)
