Mak(ena) is thinking of buying a truck - any suggestions?
by Makena1 inthinking of trading in sabine's little miata for a pick up truck.
the miata has beenfun to drive when the weather is nice.
however, if you know what seattle is like 9 months out of the year, you do not get to put the top down very often.

Lesson learned...never assume...
by Makena1 inthinking of a topic for this post was difficult - but in the end i kept coming back to the "never assume" theme.

Napa trip and Del Dotto winery
by Makena1 injust got back from a business trip with a side trip to napa.
went on a weekday this time, instead of fighting the crowds on the weekend (which is called "combat tasting" lol).
the experience was soooo much better - lots of personal attention, information from the winemaker, and a chance to taste some library wines that are off the general tasting menu.

I had a Baywatch experience
by Makena1 inhad a great of boogie boarding and body surfing at makena and nearby little beach in maui.
waves were ok, 1-3ft with an occasional 5-6ft face.
there was a pretty good rip current especially when venturing out to catch the bigger waves.. chatted with a nice couple who decided to try body surfing for their first time.

Oh jeeez......
by Makena1 injust saw this flash on my yahoo news - a religious group pushing ads "what would jesus drive?
" in an appeal to get big suv's and other gas guzzlers off the road.
i am all for doing more environmentally, but this is a big turn off for me.. http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid=34&in=business&cat=automotive_news.

Hey - this weekend is our 28th
by Makena1 insabine and i will be celebrating our 28th anniversary this weekend!
woooohoooo!
and they (parents and gloom and doomers from the kh where we first met) said it would not last because we were in our teens when we got married - me 19, her 18.. we have been through some very tough times, (the hardest of course the death of our daughter) - however, the good times and prospects for the future far outweigh the bad.

Facing the inevitable....how will you handle it?
by Makena1 inor - how are you handling it?.
my subject is how we deal with getting older - realizing that we are headed in just one direction, aging and eventually dying.
for most of us born after wwii, raised as jw's, we did not give a thought to getting older.
