2022
Seeing dear friends again is one of life’s great pleasures.
Our friend Kula stayed with us this week while his owners enjoyed a quick getaway.
Like Roxy, Kula is a member of the Assistance Dogs of Hawaii family.
Kula works at The Queen’s Medical Center – West Oahu.
He is the star of the Queen’s West Facility Dog Program.
Ella really enjoyed playing with Kula and Roxy.
Kula let’s go to the beach again!
We recently received the photos below from Lisa’s Mum. Sylvia, thank you for sharing these wonderful family photos.
The photo above shows Russell Yates, sporting a stylish Aloha print while boating.
Merry Christmas
We feel especially blessed this Christmas. It was wonderful to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus in the peace and quiet of our home with our daughters.
May God bless you and your family each and every day.
Some presents are a bit more special than others.
Ella’s special present this Christmas was a new, bright red “iPhone”.
Ella really enjoys texting and FaceTime with her family and friends.

Ella momentarily broke her strict social distancing protocols to welcome Josh back home to Kailua after another training deployment.
Josh, you are the BEST!
We all love you.
Semper Fi
Nearly every afternoon, Ella takes Papa and Roxy out for a spin in the Jeep.
We usually depart around 17:00 (5:00 pm) and head South to the “Lanikai Loop.” Spotify provides the tunes and Ella and Papa “sing” along.
This daily routine provides a much-needed break from the isolation of social distancing and 1L studies.

The photo was taken in the Waikiki Tavern
The Waikiki Tavern – located at 2427 Kalakaua Ave – was directly above the gift shop that Beverly owned and operated.
The location is now home to the Honolulu Police, Waikiki Precinct.
14 months ago we welcomed Yana to help puppy raise for Assistance Dogs of Hawaii. With the lockdown firmly in place we were lucky enough to have her for an extra few months but this week she flew back to Maui to start advanced training. Good luck Yana you are an awesome dog!! Miss you.
After something like three decades in drydock…
Lucy and Papa relaunched the ancient Snark Sunflower sailboat from MCBH Kaneohe marina for a 25-minute shakedown cruise.
Much to Mum’s relief, both of her sailors returned to shore safely.
Today is the first day of Mayor Caldwell’s Stay at Home Order for COVID-19.
Luckily, dog walking is deemed an essential activity.
Here’s a bit of “Stay at Home” fun that Papa had with Lisa.
Thanks for being a good sport Mum.
Why old guys should NEVER selfie.
Lisa and Matthew managed to sneak away from Santa’s workshop on Christmas Eve for a quick set at the club.
Merry Christmas to all from Kailua.
The 2019-2020 ILH paddling season is underway.
Lucy and her teammates from Sacred Hearts Academy are working hard and having lots of fun.
Go Lancers!
Lisa surprised Matthew with wonderful getaway to the North Shore.
