Saw this dining table in a Kailua home. It is cut from one giant piece of wood. Isn't it spectacular? The kitchen behind is not shabby either!

Lanikai Views
Imagine waking up every morning to these views. You can, if you have $12m to spare. I think if I lived here I would not be able to accomplish anything for the first few months. I would just sit and stare.

Temecula Valley - A Southern California Find
During our last trip to San Diego, we wanted to explore a bit. It is always good to find something new. Weighing the options for day-trips from our Del Mar hotel, we decided on Temecula.
Temecula valley is a small wine region a little over an hour north-northeast of Dan Diego. The 30 or so wineries are mostly located along the main road going up the valley, Rancho California Road. We visited four wineries during our time in the valley, plus a restaurant. Our first stop was Thornton Winery (http://www.thorntonwine.com/) Located at the beginning of the drive up the valley, the winery's Cafe Champagne offers not only tastings, but full meals as well in a picturesque setting with a view. They also have jazz concerts occasionally.

So You Think I'm Bossy...
Saw this sign at a tasting room in Southern California. Had so share it because of the quintessential truth in it :-)
I will post soon about my trip to the Temecula Valley wine region. Have not heard of the place? You are not alone. We just learnt about it on our last trip to Del Mar, and had to visit, to experience it for ourselves. Details to come soon. Until then, have a great day!
Aloha.

A Lovely Kaneohe Garden
Aloha Readers,
I know I have been absent lately, took a two-month break, but I am finally back! Lots happened in the past couple of months. Took two trips to the mainland and a mini vacation here in Hawaii. Visited many beautiful places, including this garden that I wanted to share with you today.
This was a property in Kaneohe, HI, that was for sale about a month ago. It has since sold. The house itself was ok, but the gardens were spectacular! Yes, gardens, as there were several. The previous owner definitely had a green thumb, as these pictures prove. I hope whoever the lucky new owner is, will appreciate the beauty of this place.
