Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

Hope you’re all having a great week thus far. I know, I know, the week is young, but we should always remember when we are given good times. After all you never know when they’ll come around again. Though in light of recent events, it seems “we” may be finally heading in the right direction and we should always be grateful . . .

Speaking of being grateful . . . I am grateful to all of you that attended our Outdoor Vanikapila last week, grateful to all the Hula Dancers that gave our songs to life and kino (body), grateful to our newest Ukulele Pilots (Dan and Nicole) for sharing their Aloha, grand keiki (Dan’s) and enthusiasm with us, to Melann for being Dan’s training ukulele pilot, grateful to our Studio Musicians for their mele and to my beloved Nohea for her love and inspiration. Me ke Aloha Pumehana kakou (with sincere heartfelt love and aloha to you all).

Here are the images from last week’s Vanikapila.

Below, link to this Saturday’s Vanikapila 17.21:

Heartbeats in time with our souls,

Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying our great weather, in spite of it being a warning of yet another drought season. Let’s hope for some rain in the near future.

I want to say mahalo nui to those who participated in the Elks Dinner / Kanikapila this past Friday. A special Mahalo Nui Loa to Faith and Chauncey Ako for sharing their Aloha with us. Such a treat to have Faith sharing her talent with us. So nice to see so many familiar faces from the UFOhana.

Mahalo to Joe Tato and the Elks for having us and hope to see you all again next 2nd Friday of the Month. Keep checking the blog for details!

Then we get to do it all over again that Saturday . . .

I’m sure you all remember Brudda Ken Emerson. Apparently, he’s been very busy while in quarantine. Renovating trailers, building Tiny Homes, doing zoom interviews. He’s even got a trailer joke for us . . .
