there are no out of state plates [edition 4]

the best thing about Hawaii??? There is SO much to do! and do we did! We were some very busy vacationers and it was a blast! Picture overload coming.....Hawaii is easier to see than to describe.

Paddleboarding - I took a swim off mine first thing, but we sure had fun on them. They weren't too challenging and we saw tons of sealife. My favorites were the school of flying fish and the huge sea turtles!




 Snorkeling - we snorkeled right outside our condo, off our kayaks and went to Black Rock in Lahina too. Snorkeling scared the crap out of me at first, but once I got the hang of it, and realized I could breathe it was really fun!

Kayaking - with whale watching and snorkeling.

Hiking and beach walks - We went for sunrise walks on the beach to check out the area. We hike to Iao Needle at a State Park and the blowhole....which wasn't blowing but still had beautiful scenery.

 Zip & Dip - a really fun ziplining experience with EcoAdventures! It was my first ziplining experience and I didn't take my camera because I was fairly certain that I would a) not be able to let go of the zipline for fear of falling or b) drop my camera. So here is picture of our drive up to the top!


I feel so inadequate with these blogs about Hawaii. I had so much fun and thought that Hawaii was probably one of the most amazing places I've ever been. I put it on the list with Alaska.....as in if you ever get a chance to go there....GO and if you get a chance to go again....GO!

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a
