Saturday, May 31st, 2008After our morning of adventure the other day on West Maui, Mudslide Mama and I were hungry, so we stopped in Lahaina on our return trip to the Westin Maui.

A Chilly Arizona Memorial Day Morning
Monday, May 26th, 2008Memorial Day in Arizona is usually hot, very hot. At our home burgers and corn on the cob are on the grill.
