Welcome
to autumn! Normally, you can tell it's the beginning of fall in Hawaii
when we start to have more evening rains and hot, humid days. But this
season was kicked off with flash-flood warnings and a 6.7 jolt!
One
of our clients was visiting Kona with his family at the time of the
quake—just four miles from the epicenter. He called us the following
day, saying it was a life-affirming moment for him. When the quake hit,
so did his instincts. He swept up his child and wife, tucking one under
each arm, and hid in the hotel room's most solid spot—the bathroom.
Undoubtedly, huddling your family in a bathtub, as your hotel trembles
and shakes, can present some clarity and perspective on life.
For
this reason, our fall issue comes out at the perfect time—Thanksgiving.
Time to give thanks and appreciation for family, friends and all that
we have in our lives. If you're planning on a Thanksgiving dinner, go
to Fresh Ideas. It has Turkey Day-inspired decorations and cooking gadgets.
And,
since Christmas is approaching, visit this issue's holiday gift
section. The guide has a variety of home-related, gift ideas. Happy
shopping, giving (and receiving!)
Happy Holidays from the Hawaii Home + Remodeling team!
Enjoy the read!
