Didja miss me ? [View all]

as of late I've been finding myself posting a little more for the first time in years .

it's been a long strange crazy trip but I seem to be back .

I'm living in Hawaii now on a Kona Coffee farm . It's a huge change from the hustle and bustle
of the Bay Area . HUGE .. I guess I'm a country girl at heart because I love my new life here .
The very slow life here suits me .

Yes I was one of the people who got the fake "Incoming missile Launch" alert .. here there are no basements and the
nearest bomb shelter is 45 minutes away . so My family just stood in a hug for what seemed like forever.

I live on the big island so we've had some excitement with big quakes and a volcanic eruption for 6 months . It really affected
all people on the island as tourism dropped companies went under. The air was just awful causing lifelong residents
to move off island ..

I know DU has many new faces and I'm eager to get to know you .. to all my friends here it's been too long I know
but the healing I needed I got ..

so howsit DU ?
