Some of those pictures were a little moldy, but it added to the ambience of the blog. The food we ate was incredible, and the sailing even better. Thanks for sharing those days with me!

I knew the water wasn't always compatible with necessary sailing conditions. I also think I'd gotten too old to handle some of the inevitable emergencies alone. I enjoy my acre, but even now there are times when I really miss boat life. You're always "home," no matter where you travel.

That is definitely an envy. My boyfriend's mother & step-father live on a small boat. They bought an old navy boat and turned it into a wonderful/comfortable home. They are currently sailing in Florida. I keep trying to convince then to move to the Big Island with us, but they don't want to give up boat life. Yes, to live aboard and eat well.

I'm just glad it wasn't as big as expected, and the evacuations gave everyone some practice for the next "big one." I'm high enough that I wasn't concerned, but many of my friends live and/or work around the coastlines. Maybe wherever I feel "safe" is my "Lothlorien!" It sounds like your new apartment is that for you. Aloha, Lucy The tsunami turned out to be very small, but watching the surges go in and out of the bays was fascinating.

Especially this part "Our Lothlorién was that haven for us, our personal sanctuary of peace, safety, and healing. We needed the storms of life to remain outside." I so need a Lothlorien right now, as I'm dealing with a nasty divorce. I've moved into a cute little apt thats got high ceilings and lots of light and right now it feels like a safe santuary to hide out in while the storm of life rage outside. We all have our stuff don't we?? Hope you weathered today's tsunami warning well. Ann Oh, Lucy, I love this post.
