The Book Hawaii

By James A. Michener.

I finally finished this book. It has taken me most of the summer.

I did enjoy it. It was basically the history of Hawaii from the time it was born. (He covered eons!)

He used many truths & facts in this book. It makes you wonder how things could have been done differently.

A Day On The River

We went kayaking today on the St. Joe.

We went with Liquid Therapy Kayak rentals. They have an awesome set up!
Dude.....I did not apply my sunscreen properly. Both Hubby & I are crispy.
The current was slower than I expected. The river was was low. We need rain! We caught some little blue gill.
We did get a rare treat. (I wished I'd had my good camrea, (I was afraid I'd drop it in the water)

Something made this incredible splash two feet from hubby's boat. Hubby said it was a beaver! I did not believe him. I said, "We don't have beavers here." Hubby pointed at the very very large rodent swimming away from us & told me to go look for myself.
I paddled toward it. As I got closer it did a sort of curl flip & whacked it's enormous tail on the water (very scary!), then dove.
It was definitely a beaver! I was then scared that it would come underneath my boat *shiver*.
It was a fun day.

The Circus

We went to the Kelly Miller Circus today!
I had never been to a circus before. It was 90 degrees today so a tad sweaty in the big top.
We got to ride on Lisa the Pachyderm.
I left feeling mostly sorry for the animals, although I'm sure they are well cared for, tis sad to see them in cages for human delightedness.
I was in awe of the performers. The balance guy was amazing....How in the hell does he do that?

I forgot my good camera so you're stuck with phone pictures.....(I found out tonight that my phone takes video, LOL!)

The cutest thing they did, was the clown did a skit with a stuffed elephant. Then the second little elephant was a dog in a suit. It was so cute I cried.

Devo "Girl U Want"

I downloaded this for Rock Band. I love it! It reminds me of awesome teenage times

She sings from somewhere you cant see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know youre headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
Shes the real thing but you knew it all along

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind reeling
Why dont we just admit its all over
Just the girl u want

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

Perception by Me

Honesty is opinionated perception, not fact.
Honesty is best silent, unspoken.
Friends, lovers become quiet, distant.
Souls cry out to know why.
Broken hearts wish for the truth of arrogant mistakes.
Resentment creeps into the once blissful mind.
The pained mind begins imagining manipulation.
Wondering if the entire romance, friendship was a game?
Visualizing the score card with the minds eye,
would such a mind hear the truth?
Hurt sees only pride and ego.
Let it go, Love anyways.
