Before Hawaii I took H2O for granted. I remember telling Charlie that I didn't need to live by water. I didn't think I was a water person until Hawaii when I fell in love with the ocean! One day after arriving here Charlie and I went down to the river with a picnic lunch, I knew then that I always want to be by water. It doesn't matter, the beautiful crystal clear waters of Hawaii, a lake, river, creek, to be honest I even love a long shower! :-) I never want to take the beautiful life giving gift God gave us for granted again.
I grew up in a town meaning land between the lakes, Hawaii is the land between the ocean and here it is the land between the rivers.

Hope and Charlie fishing.

I was just sitting relaxing and playing with different settings on my camera.

Hope lost her shoe to the current and she went to rescue it.

Our beautiful girl!
