  19. Aloha Nan,

    Al and I were just talking about you both. A friend of ours inquired about their daughter getting married on Maui. They were looking for some services. They are from Ohio.
    I wanted to give your name as a referral.

    We are still in Bellville Ohio.

  22. Lovely to hear some news from you. My 17 year old eldest granddaughter Kaylah is also off to university soon, my son Neil’s daughter. I fell in love with her at first sight when she was just one hour old! Robert and I are keeping well and finding lots to do in Charlestown, our new city. He is visiting a local nursing home on a regular basis and I have joined a small singing group which also entertains at nursing homes in the area.

    • Great to hear from you Danuta! So happy to hear you and Robert are doing well. Sounds like you stay very busy. Congratulation to Kaylah. It is a great accomplishment. Aloha, Nan

  23. Hello Nanette,
    I love to hear from you and read about your life.
    Sometimes we will make it happen to see us again after all this years. It was 1990 in Club Med, Mauritius.
    Maybe our son, Tom, will come to your island earlier than me, because he will finish school next year and wants to travel all over the world. I don´t know from whom he has this ideas!
    Lots of love from your german friend Barbara

    • Merry Christmas Barbara, I hope you had a wonderful day. Ours is still going in Hawaii. When Neil gets home from work, we will go next door to his parents for presents in the evening. It would be great to see you again if you come to the middle of the Pacific. I think most of our vacation time will be going to see our grandson for the next few years! If Tom does get this way, let’s make sure he has our contact information. We have a small cottage but there is space to sleep on our lanai (covered deck).

  24. Thank you for including me still! I love to read how you and Neil are doing and boy are you two busy! You didn’t say how Neil got the road rash! I’m glad he’s okay! I was thrown from a motorcycle many years ago and got rash up one arm and leg. It wasn’t very deep but truly painful!

    Divorce finally happened and I’ve been single for a year and two weeks now. I miss Maui, but not the dust, heat, and chemicals in all the soil! What has happened to all the cane fields now that the sugar industry is done?

    Still in Juneau with the house on the market, then heading to either Washington state or perhaps moving back to Norway, still on the fence. Miss your smile! Take care. Katie

    • Hi Katie, Wow, big changes happening in your life. Good to hear from you and glad you are doing well. I will be interested to hear if it is Washington or Norway or where you decide to go next. A jeep cut Neil off when he was riding the scooter and he got some serious road burns on both legs, very deep at the leg/foot connection and he was on the couch for 3 months with them elevated most of the time to heal. As far as I can tell, the cane fields are still “open” except there was one small section growing Sunflowers for bio-fuel. Have a wonderful new year!

  26. How amazing that would be if they did have 71 different coffees hehe. Love hearing how affordable a hair cut can be there and how smooth the dental work went!

    Reply ↓

    • Yes, 71 Coffee was a funny name till I understood it was the road number, ha. I am still writing but delayed with some house projects! More to come.

  28. Even dental work can be exotic! I don’t have any dental insurance either. And I haven’t had for over 13 years. I’m very lucky that I have really good teeth and a dentist that only charges me $175 for a cleaning. I have needed a crown over the years but that was about it. I now realize how lucky I am. On the other hand I haven’t been to Thailand! Love you

  29. Hello Nanette,
    it is so wonderful to hear about your life. We met 26 years ago!!

    Lots of love from Barbara

    • Hi Barbara, thanks for continuing follow our adventures. Not sure when our travels will take us to Germany with the new grandson but would love to see you sometime. Stay Warm!

  34. Dear Nan, I also love mangos, both green and ripe, and also nice ripe avocados. I live in Colombia (Bogotá), and not far, to hour trip, it is posible to harvest them. The only but is that locally it is díffiult to buy a good long extension picking pole, liker the one you mention 16 feet.

    If you can help me suggesting some picking pole brands, may be I can find the way to buy it via internet. The longest, would be interesting for the trees I harvest.

    Thanking in advance! Continue enjoying your mangos, I share some of them with bats and beautiful green parrots, and the avocados with the shrews, and … of course with the family.

    • Aloha Roberto, Mango season is over for us but we froze some juice so we’re still able to enjoy a little mango flavor in the mornings.

      Neil looked up the type of pole we use on Amazon. The pole has a threaded top designed for cleaning accessories but he was able to use a hose clamp to attach the picker basket to the top. Here are the Amazon links: Ettore 44016 Extension REA-C-H Pole, 16-Feet by Ettore and Fruit Picker Head (TR20090)

      Neil’s comment: “I just love this pole because it is so easy to adjust. I also like that I can throw it in the car if I’m going to pick fruit alongside the road or at a friend’s house.”

      I hope this helps. How wonderful to have beautiful green parrots, bats, and shrews at your home. As you saw from the post, we share our mango with the little Gold Dust Day Geckos who flock to our morning breakfast table. Their antics are so entertaining.
      Nan

    • I am glad you are have enjoyed reading the web posts. Crater Lake was impressive in how steep it is all the way around. I think it has stayed so pristine because no roads to the lake edge! Last leg post about to come out in a few days 😉

  40. The gecko photos are beyond adorable–what incredible smiles they have! The reed fence looks very natural and fine until those recalcitrant plants grow up. Good job!

  41. It is amazing how fast the kids are growing! You are blessed to have such a caring, wonderful family. But then no one deserves it more than you do.
    Be well.

  45. Nan, thanks for sending this link to your page. Good to hear how life is treating you over your way — especially when it sounds so positive. Love the geckos — how do you rate GREEN ones?!! I don’t remember seeing those when we were living there. Cute! Hugs to you both, happy holidays with your family and friends — Dee

  47. Hi Nan,
    So good to be reminded about life on Maui:-)
    The plumeria aroma in the breeze, the bird calls, Mother Maui’s warm embrace 🙂
    You sound so content and relaxed, I am very happy for you!
    Have an exceptional Christmas with your many, many family members, how wonderful to have so many together at this time, and even being neighbors!!

  49. Hi Nan: I love reading your stories, and catching up. Thank you for sharing your life in a nutshell. It was good to hear from you and learning what you and Neil & family are doing. Our daughter Hoku, who live in Waianae, HI with her husband Leonard and 3 boys are moving to Ohio in June / July 2014. We are so looking forward to them being here and close. Sounds like you guys still have the warmth and beauty of the islands around you. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. Well Merry Christmas – Ahui hou! Dayna and Al

  50. I am trying to help a Kathleen Harter born in Lima, Ohio. She was adopted out. She is looking for her 2 older siblings. Their names are Debbie and the other sisters name begins with a S and she thinks it might be Sherri. They was born between 1950-1955. Her mothers name is Jane Ann Harter from Lima Ohio. Kathleen goes by Kathy. I was wondering if there was a possibility that you might be able to help with the information I provided. Thanks Debby Harter Yothers. dabbylynn@yahoo.com

  51. Very wonderful to see your beautiful surroundings
    and happy face. It’s gray, wet and foggy here, and
    yet it has a beauty of its own.
    Ray’s mom Dorothy died in late November.
    Very best to both of you from both of us.

  55. Nan, I am sorry I missed you and missed Melanie by 2 days I was at Max and Janets from July 10th until June 30th. I enjoyed your article and pictures. Janet told me about your mother falling. She was lucky she wasn’t hurt worse.

    • I missed seeing you too Aunt Barb. I am glad you got to visit with your Van Wert family for so long. Mom seems to be recovering quickly. I think it was the desert heat that made her faint.

  64. Nan, thanks so much for keeping me up-to-date on the “Hawaain” family! I get such a kick out of seeing Quentin grow! My friend David and I are planning to take our trawler up from Washington, Puget Sound area, to Alaska next summer. Hope to be seeing some of those wonderful sights that you and Neil saw!

  66. My friends on the Big Island planted pineapples in their back yard when they moved there in 1999. They only plant the white pineapples. People on the Mainland think yellow is the only kind of pineapple. The White ones are better!

    • It is nice to have the variety of tropical fruit here. i do miss apricots and cherries. We do have them shipped in here summer, but we are busy enjoying mangoes so don’t buy many.

      Reply ↓

  67. We love mangos, but unfortunatly we have to buy them! And they had a long trip.
    Sometimes we have to visit you and eat your mangos.
    Lots of love Barbara

    • Would love to have a visit from you! Mangos in the summer months; whales in the winter months; beautiful weather year round! Sounds like you had a great trip to California.

  73. Fantastic photos and love the updates on life, travels, and family! Such a coincidence (if there is such a thing) because I was thinking about Hawaii this morning as I rode my bike into work at 39 degrees. The peaks of the mountain had a beautiful rosy glow, a sure sign of fall weather. Time to chop the firewood.
    Thanks for the picutres and the updates!

    • Amazing, you are reaching near freezing already and heard Jason’s family in Oklahoma was dealing with 107 temps and a broken AC. Maui misses you. Come visit.
