A Taste of Waimea

The greatest part of living on the West Side is the sense of community we share. For the most part, we see diversity as a good thing and when we get together, we make it a fun, delicious, appreciative and affordable time for all!

Waimea Plantation Cottages is the gorgeous setting.

Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Meeting

I attended the first quarterly Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Sheraton Kauai Resort last night. What a treat in every way!

My boss drove us in his new Beemer. There were hundreds of folks there- many Rotary friends and folks I haven't seen in a long time. The sponsor, Personal Finance, even gave us a cool motivational package!

The food was outstanding. Fresh salad fixings with bay shrimp and baby scallops, a dimsum steamer, and lots of carb choices- which I passed on- and yummy mochiko chicken and baby back ribs- which I did not pass on. And for something different, I actually had a small piece of delicious lilikoi chiffon pie and a sliver of a chocolate moussy something that was topped off with an EXCELLENT cup of coffee! Good job, Sheraton Kauai!

The biggest treats of the night, though, were the keynote speaker - Brad Klontz, who spoke on Mental Wealth and seeing my dear friend Barbara Nishek again.

Lelan and Barbara were my employers for 17 years. I managed Barbara's art galleries and learned something about the landscaping business from Lelan during the hurricane times. Those were creative and interesting years!
