Pandemic Relief 'Today I saw a news article with a title of "determined couple finds way to vacation to Hawaii" So I Click the link and there is a man sitting in front of a washing machine window, with a tablet? inside it with a view of the clouds. Sad for them. Instantly I was brought back to the Eleven hour trip to Hawaii my husband and I spent on Hawaiian Airlines with their fantastic staff. I had to include below my favorite fire torch throwing guy from the island of Samoa at Polynesian Cultural Center. That place was great. Purple rolls from sweet potato, canoe music and a football hall of fame. I can not say enough about it. If you have never gone to Hawaii, its a bucket list absolutely you have to -and try to do it before you need new knees. These pictures are for those people. Stay Motivated! No Sports due to the Virus means no immediate need for Athletic Trainers and Massage therapy is a big risk -so it left me with the shared dilemma of way too many people- no income. When eggs went up to $4.16 a half dozen I was like- We need some chickens. Luckily before the Chick order was placed a compassionate friend saw a sign in the Tractor Store that read "Free chickens and ducks to a good home." So I called and now am one of 'those people.' Yup instant Chicken Mama-Thank God for the bloggers and You Tube or the Flock all would've died the first week. No joke. Initial investment was food and stuff to put food/water into and the rest became a family project. Building a duck den to keep the Flock fighting down to a minimum, training the family to: Collect the Quacken, Release the Quacken and what food's ok to spoil the Quacken was a research project in itself. But the entertainment and education learning is PRICELESS. Even the Girl Scout troops are learning online and loving the daily updates and duck challenges. Ever heard of goat yoga- well Duck Yoga is way more fun when there is one imitating you. This picture of the balance on one leg trick was a 3 1/2 minute staring contest on one leg with a duck. It happened. Princess Won. Yoga any time, anywhere. Stay Healthy Friends, get outside and breath fresh air without a mask on, exercise alone or spaced out, but do it for your mental health. If you have the fancy phones, Facetime and exercise together! Fight the 19 pound gain from sitting home alone, and wash your hands before you eat! Think of the beautiful skin you will have from not touching your face. Meditate, stay on your work schedule, and read a book. Peace out.
