Surfer Ty’s back in Hawaii where he’ll be until the end of the month as he’s trying to get his new shop open. It’s a busy time for him, but also exciting. I was asked just on Tuesday how I handle weeks without seeing Ty, and the truth is, I’d rather be without him, then have […]

Surfer Baby
Mac loves the water. He’s always loved his baths but now he’s discovered the ocean and thinks its pretty awesome. He’d never been all the way in until yesterday–just dipped up to his chest before–but in Waikiki while Jake and Krysia surfed with Ty, Kathy, little Ty and Mac and I hung out on the […]
Sun, Sea & Sand
The boys are here now, as is my sister Kathy and her daughter Krystyna. The remodel on the beach house last year appears to have been a success as Kathy and Krysia (Krystyna’s nickname–her father’s from Poland, thus the spelling) love their little suite and are enjoying their visit very much. I love having my […]
Christmas in Hawaii
It’s Christmas Eve morning and I’ve got Kona coffee brewing and Mac playing with toys on the couch next to me. President Obama and his family are supposed to be arriving on Oahu today, staying at a beach house over in Kailua which isn’t all that far from here. Hawaii is so excited about its […]
Romance Reader Luncheon on Oahu
It’s a gorgeous Tuesday morning in Hawaii and Christmas is just days away. I spent yesterday doing nothing but relaxing after the hectic weekend of preparing for the lunch I hosted on Sunday for Kellie Chang’s Romance Reader Group. We were supposed to have our lunch outside on the deck but it poured all night, […]
Holiday Fun
We’ve had a fun first half of the month in Bellevue–shopping, ice skating, taking in the parade at Snowflake Lane in downtown Bellevue. But now it’s time to pack up and head to Hawaii for Christmas. By the time you read this we’ll be at our Hawaii home… Wearing a heck of a lot less. […]
Mac & Misc
I told Mac today’s our last day in Hawaii until December so he’s decided to do some sun bathing of his own on the living room couch. He’s a nature baby, that’s for sure.Nude and naked are his favorite states of dress, although he’ll settle for a diaper when we have to go out and […]
One Week Left
Can’t believe a week from today I return to Bellevue. Can’t believe I’ve been here in Hawaii almost two months already. Even harder to believe I’ve only been to the beach once!! What have I done all summer? Write. And write. And nurse Mac. And make sure boys were happy. And, well, write some more. […]
Hello from Hawaii
Apologies for not posting sooner but I’ve been pouring all my time and energy into baby and book. Both are wonderful and interesting and very demanding! I love having Mac here but don’t ever want to have a baby and a book due at the same time again, and considering I’m 45, I probably won’t. […]
Little Bits
I’m writing in little bits, hoping they’ll add up to big bits and trying to stay calm (and cool!) as kids run wild and temperatures hover in the high 80’s to low 90’s–not hot if you’ve air conditioning but sweltering if you’re at a computer without a breeze. Fortunately I’m feeling more and more settled […]
