Today we had the honor of attending a house blessing near Makawao. Some
friends have bought a couple of acres on a hill top and they're building a
house and detached garage which are well underway. It was a beautiful day
for a local kahuna to say a prayer while a crowd of friends wished them
well. Copious quantities of pizza and refreshments were provided for the
occasion. This is going to be a beautiful property when it's done because
these guys know how to "get 'er done" right. I can hardly wait for the
topping off party.
