Even though I don't live in snow country, it's always wonderful to have SPRING to look forward to. We do have seasons here in Hawaii and we can tell the difference in the surf sounds, how the plants sound as they die off or regrow, temperatures do fluctuate some, what's growing and what isn't, sunrise and sunset changes,…

I've been laughing at all the very funny cartoons about snow and winter! Thank you to everyone for posting. :D

I finally figured it out!! Please keep me on this team!

What is the link to join the Community team? I can't seem to find it.

Many mahalos for all the work you do - and for hanging in there after SP!!

My brother and I are the only two siblings in my family so I don't know what I'd do without him. I know you are going through a lot of pain with the loss of your brother, so I'm keeping you in my prayers and heart. <3

Has the link for adding your miles, etc. been moved? All I can find is the information on what we are to measure this week, but it's Wednesday and I don't see a single one of the posts, including mine.

Yes, I live in Hawaii and I've been here for about 26 years. But I was born in Illinois and I've also lived in Rhode Island and Alaska. Snow is beautiful when fresh and you don't have to do much out in it. Now I'm here in a warm climate to stay! My adult children come to visit me in the winter to get away from the snow and…

@Dianedoessmiles1 Love the pictures, but it made my body shiver. Looking at pictures of snow is about all I'm able to tolerate! LOL I wish everyone a Mele Kalikimaka this week! May all your wishes and prayers come true!

I pray for healing of all sorts - physical, mental, spiritual - wherever you need it most. Prayer works!

I haven't had a chance to take pictures from the beach of our snow covered mountains, but here is a link if you're interested in seeing it. https://weatherboy.com/hawaii-digs-out-of-blizzard-first-view-from-mauna-kea-ground-zero-of-snowstorm/

Storm has passed now, so we're back to our 80-83 degree weather. It's overcast, but I like it that way. The mountains are covered with snow, however, and it's beautiful at the beach :)

Hawaii had a freak storm this weekend. Blizzards on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, loads of rain down on the beach areas (where I live), gale-force winds (I thought my palms and other plants would break in half), temps went down to upper 60s (Brrrrr), and I actually closed the glass doors. Usually, everything is open here, just…

I finished my third afghan with one more to go for my four adult children. My brother saw the picture and wanted one, too, so he'll be next. I plan to make one for myself with granny squares out of all the different leftover yarns from the afghans. It's been too many years since I've had time to do anything like this. All…

Were you a member of SparkPeople? How many years? What was your Spark name? Yes, for over a decade, but can't remember exactly. I was KAIMANA927. How many 5% Challenges have you done? This will be my 20th Challenge What do you like to do for fun? Garden with my orchids, Bonsai, write, read, travel (when COVID finishes)…

No other team for me! We're GR8!

I live on the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii. We can go to the beach and watch the surfers while we look up at the mountain covered with snow. My lanai is filled with beautiful orchids; the air is soft to the skin and warm. I've lived and worked here now since early 1996 and don't plan to go anywhere else, even…

With everyone facing cold temps and snow, I hate to complain about my weather! But folks, when it gets down to 70 here, it might as well be 50! I bundle up and wish I had a fireplace - LOL Spoiled rotten, I am. But a brass ensemble playing Christmas music in the Keauhou Shopping Center about 1/4 mile from my condo helped…

How do I join this group? I have been on Atkins in the past and lost 40 pounds. Then I gained back that and more, so I went to WW. Managed to keep it off, became lifetime member and was even a leader for a while. But their latest program emphasizes too many fruits and veggies. I am starting to see the pounds go back on. I…
