The skies were blue with lovely clouds when we visited Maui last month. Here's a shot of me at a scenic lookout, captured by my wife.

While on Maui recently, we had dinner one night of roasted eggplant, okra, baby bananas and pineapple along with macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. Everything was local including the fish. We love eating local food whenever and wherever we go! For #FoodOnFriday #Maui

This was perfect for a sold and snowy day!
A bit late for #FoodOnFriday, but I made a pot of Pasta Fagioli last night with #RanchoGordo Marcella beans and a bit of our homegrown lacinato kale. Leftovers should be even better tonight! #kale

Bluebird at the feeder for #BlueSkyMonday. A little fuzzy because I'm zoomed in and looking through a window.

Here's my dad, Johnny Hames, in 1943 flanked by my grandma and grandpa Hames. He served in the Army in WWII.

For #FoodOnFriday, our persimmon tree is loaded this year, and I used some to make a batch of persimmon cookies last week. They are soft and moist, and the consistency is really a cross between a cookie and cake.

For #Caturday, my cat EW, circa 1999. My neighbor Lisa took him in as a stray and named him Edgar Winter. When I asked her why the name she said "because he has long white hair and is kinda freaky looking". Her cat Josie didn't like him, so he wound up with me. He was a sweetie, and the name stuck.

For #BlueSkyMonday, the sky was surely lovely when we visited Cadillac Mountain in Acadia N.P. last month. From the top you could see many of the smaller surrounding islands.
