Anyway, I enjoy celebrating holidays on days other than they […] Watch this video to see how our garden is doing Poinsettia was the name of the Christmas flower that I couldn’t think of. Oh! And I found a tomato – Farmer Jim  When we returned to Hawaii in the Spring of 2013, I wasn’t staffing the SBS anymore, so I didn’t have to lead the homeless outreach to Waikiki like I did previously.
