Turn Left at The Volcano

You have brains in your head
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
Oh the Places We’ll Go
--Dr. Seuss

Thus begins my soon to be a best seller Nonfiction narrative/ memoir, Oh Baby!

Life’s Twists and Turns may get another tweak in its neck. We are considering moving to Hawaii.

About 15 years ago Daughter D said, “In twenty years let’s retire to Hawaii.”

“Okay,” I said, not really believing it. I thought moving to Hawaii would cost about as much as a rocket trip to the moon.

Yesterday while cleaning the horse yard (Some of the best revelations come while shoveling manure), I asked the great powers that be where I be happy.

“Check out Hawaii on the internet,” said the Great Cosmic Consciousness.

Lo and behold, a property popped up that cost only a fraction more than property we were considering in the Eugene area. Plus it had a house which the Eugene property didn’t. I couldn’t believe it. Ten acres, fixer-upper house, macadamia trees, pineapple, limes, and it is remote. They will take horses.

Downside: You turn left at the volcano.

With Skype I can talk to my other grandson daily, and see him, and when he and his mother visit it will be quality time and in Hawaii.

Can’t wait to see how this story unfolds. Is it fate? And do you know, instead of the 120 day quarantine for taking dogs into Hawaii, with proper paper work, vaccinations and such, one can get immediate release.

Hallaluah!

I’m as excited as a cat with four mice.

Aloha!

PS. Don't forget to check out www.wishonawhitehorse.com. The book, It's Hard To Stay On A Horse While You're Unconscious is listed there, and of course you'll want to read it. It will tell you a few things about horses, it will make you want to run your hands over a horse's velvet coat. It will make you want to bury your nose in one's silky mane and believe you are nine years old again.
PS PS. How is the world am I going to get four horses to Hawaii?
