Monday morning was a strange one for San Diego. About a quarter of the way into our morning walk, Hana and I heard thunder. She barked at it and we kept walking. A short time later I hear it again, Hana looks up at the sky and big, fat raindrops start to fall and continued to fall for the rest of our walk. Luckily it was not getting any harder or faster as we walked because I was in a mostly white T-shirt and not interested in meeting the neighbors that way. It kept thundering a few more times and Hana learned to ignore it- I supposed she figured it wasn't much different than all the other noises she hears since we live in an urban area.
Toward the end of the walk I look up to see a rainbow- in San Diego! It wasn't very long but the colors were so bright. It made me feel like I was in Maui again and I knew it was going to be a good day. Hope everyone has a Monday with a bright rainbow.

Birthday and Anniversary wishes
Belated Happy Birthday to our friend Amber who I would have Journey sing to her if I could because she deserves it. Also Happy Anniversary to Cara and Ryan who deserve a date night which I would give to them as well if I was home to baby-sit :)
It is a warm day here in SoCal- 80 at the beach but the breeze is making it bearable. I am watching Hana-bear sleep right next to my chair- it is so sweet that it is hard not to reach over and disturb her with lots of petting. She is still recovering from 2 days of play with her friend Hovis- he is a month older than her but seems to have plenty more energy than she. It may be reason to get your pets spayed or neutered, they seem so much more calm! They wrestled most of the day away and last night got to go to a playground to really run- Hana takes such tight turns that the other dogs fall over themselves trying to keep up, it is pretty funny to watch. I love her so much and hope she is a happy dog.
We are off to dinner tonight with some more Louisville friends, to our favorite restaurant, Roy's. The new one overlooking the marina makes us feel a little closer to Hawaii especially as we near almost one year since our last trip.
Mahalo as always!

Officially fall
We celebrated the end of summer last night with a Southern summer cookout. BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, cornbread muffins, sweet tea and of course for dessert- S'mores! There is nothing so great as grilling on a charcoal grill for S'mores and lucky us the weather stays nice enough here to do it more than just in the summer time. :)
Hana spent the weekend at the beach with us (avoiding the noise of the Thunderboat races in the bay- you may have seen one of the guys who crashed and survived on the Today show this morning). She is starting to assert herself in her adolescence and would patrol our chairs for any approaching dogs- we would prefer she didn't do this and need to keep her socializing so she does not become aggressive in her adolescence as some dogs are prone to do. Luckily she will have her friend Hovis here for the next two days to give her lots of play time.
For those of you who have asked about my yoga teacher training- it is really going well and I am very excited by all I am learning. I am part of a group of seven who are going on this journey together which makes it all the more fun. We are in our third week now and really getting into more poses. I am deepening my own practice and learning a lot of Sanskrit.
Namaste
