のどかな池

カピオラニ公園バンドスタンド前の池のどかな雰囲気を漂わせています。池の真ん中に大きなトンボ(Dragonfly)が悠々と卵を産みつける姿勢で存在感を現わしています。その周りをのんびり泳ぐカルガモのファミリーが思い思いの場所で泳いだり芝生に上がろうとしています。ユッタリのんびりした風が流れています。

Chef Wayne

Last night Wayne prepared a gourmet meal for Ed, Diana, George, Frances, Ozzie, Sandy and Christine. Thank you Wayne.

Happy Easter everyone!

Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes

in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and

believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25,26)

The meeting which stops diet only today By Nobu

シャワーが来るかな?

ダイヤモンド・ヘッド方向が全体に霞んできました。シャワーが霧状になって進んできているような気配です。チョッピリ冷たい風が感じられるので後数分するとコート上に雨粒の跡が残るようなシャワーが来るでしょう。ココヘッド側に微かな青空があればシャワーは、直ぐ終わります。

Tennis family: Andy, his wife Hiromi, and daughter Miyu (center)

Do You See the Easter Bunny?

No, it's not our good friend, Kei. But, there is an Easter in the photo. Kei is the President of the local Japanese-language paper, Hawaii Hochi. He is a fine tennis player and gentleman. On April 10, Kei will retire and return back to Japan (Shizuoka City) on April 22. He said that he appreciates playing with all of the nice players at Kapiolani Park. Kei, it was our pleasure. Take care and Happy Easter!
