When the Jaspers Come to Town


What a great time we had with Chris' parents who came to visit us for a week. I've always said the worst part about living in Hawaii is being so far away from family. But the best part is not only enjoying the island but getting to share it with friends and family when they come. It was also an excuse to try a few of the restaurants my co-workers are always talking about (we rarely eat out so that was a real treat). We also had a great time visiting with my parents, going to the beach and strolling the botanical gardens in Hilo. And Chris' dad hooked up with a plein air painting group on the island, so I hope that will bring them back before too long for a return visit. Hana Hou!


Chris' dad wanted a project so we made use of his talents by asking him to paint flowers around our bath tub. They're beautiful, and they're even native species.


Our God's creativity shines at the botanical gardens north of Hilo.
