Freedom, Furniture and the Farmer's Market


Yesterday we went into Kona town to look at a used car at a place our friend, Bob, turned us on to. We are trying to find me a car and they had just gotten in a Honda CVR. It needs some tires and just a little work but nothing my handy dandy mechanic husband can't handle so I will have mobility freedom starting Monday afternoon! We also were looking around for some furniture and did find some great dining chairs we really liked. They are made from reclaimed boat wood... how cool is that... and they fit in John's little pick-up and look great around the table, too!

Today we got up early and went to Hilo for the Farmer's Market. right before we left I looked out the lanai door and there was a little wild cat looking in the door so I gave him some food and off we went! It was a couple of hour drive but we weren't in a hurry so no worries. While we were walking around town we saw a nursery exchange and found the gardenia plants I have been wanting! Mind you, every time we have tried to grow these in California they have died, we bought 2 and are going to try our luck again!

Once back home we BBQd burgers and I tried a new recipe, AVOCADO FRIES! They were amazing really and i've put the recipe on the page you'll find at the bottom of the blog home page. When you have 42 avocado trees you have to keep searching out the recipes!

  1. Like your new car. You'll have fun tooting around the island in it. Love y'all's new chairs. Perfect. Sweet kitty. Good picture of John and the Farmer's Market. But, your avocado fries sound sinfully decadent.
