Amy Ferguson, owner of O's Bistro, is
off to Paris.
She promises to stay in touch through her
blog, sending us thoughts, photos, and recipes.
Bookmark her blog and watch her trip unfold. There's
already a Chocolate Mousse recipe on her November
11 post and she's not even done packing!

I am sixteen years ahead of my brother Jason, who was born just before I started my senior year in high school. Now that he lives in New Jersey and works in New York, he is 6 hours ahead of me!
I'll never get over being his big sister, a position that no one will ever usurp, and find comfort picturing him as he waits for the train each day: it's sunny and peaceful, like Kona. It all changes when he rolls into New York. The city ignites every latent thought because all of your senses are tested, at the same time.
During my visit, Jason told me about a guy who started with a red paper clip and traded up for a house! Quite creative and energetic, I thought. But wait, that guy has a brother, who's now going to hitchhike through all 50 states in 50 days! What's more, the Hitch50 guys may be followed by viewing the map on their site, via Mologogo. Jason and Chuck Fletcher are responsible for that.
I like the fact that I can view all of that movement and energy, 6 hours behind, in sunny and peaceful Kona. I wonder what Kyle and Scotty's mom thinks of all this?
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. Although we had no luggage, we had an awesome Northern Italian cuisine dinner and a comfortable night's sleep. Shortly after 1:30pm on Saturday, we were successfully in the raining skies headed for Pittsburgh. Once landed, we drove south to Morgantown, West Virginia, where I'll be for a few more days. We are staying at a beautiful lakeside home brimming with happy people and gregarious dogs!
Thunderstorms and lightning bring blue skies and rainbows! I know this to be true.
