Wordless Wednesday - I love you dawg  - it's been 2 years now

Isn't she just the cutest little dog you ever saw?

It's been 2 years now since the first day we brought her home as a tiny puppy!

She's a good girl and she gets to run free and roam over acres of ground, including a valley with a stream.

Yes we do spoil her and let her up on the bed, and she loves it!

Random snapshots from Paia Maui on a Friday afternoon - 09/24/10 11:36 PM
Random snapshots from Paia Maui on a Friday afternoon

Of course I took these with my Hipstamatic camera which is so much fun!

I like the way they look old and faded, sort of like Paia itself!

It's Aloha Friday you know, no work 'til Monday... for some folks.

There's new shops opening up all the time in Paia and you never know what you'll see.

Park your car, stroll around and enjoy yourself.  There's plenty to do in Paia Maui Hawaii.
You can even buy a home here in Paia starting at $245,000.

Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Newsletter - September 2010 - 09/21/10 10:00 PM
Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Newsletter     -     September 2010What happened?  The new condo listings in the past month hit a brick wall.  Instead of the usual hundred or so new offerings, I am only coming up with 44 and that includes the Leasehold ones which I usually don't bother with.  Perhaps the oversupply from last month had something to do with it.  At any rate, here are some just listed Maui condos that might be just what you're looking for.

Hawaii Five-0 comes back to TV - don't forget to tune in tonight! - 09/20/10 09:10 PM

Hawaii Five-0 back on TV - don't forget to tune in tonight!
Remember Hawaii Five-0?  That TV drama we all know and love is making a come back, and tonight is the night!  Don't forget to tune in on CBS and watch the premiere episode of Hawaii Five-0, filmed here in Hawaii.
I really hope this new series will be a winner, and will run for many seasons.  The film business is good for the economy over here in Hawaii.  Now that Lost is no longer in production, we could use a good TV series to keep a lot of people employed … (14 comments)

Hipstamatic point and shoot camera app for iPhone - 09/19/10 09:52 PM
Hipstamatic point and shoot camera app for iPhone

I have been having some fun with the HIPSTAMATIC camera app for my iPhone.  It's a way to take photos that look like they were taken with a small instamatic camera.  You can "change" the lens and the film for different photo effects, or just give it a shake and take a chance.  You never really know what the results will be, which makes it interesting.  
What you will notice is the pictures have a look from another era, kind of like those old pictures in a shoebox in your closet, that … (13 comments)

How important is an ocean view when buying a home on Maui? - 09/14/10 10:20 PM

How important is an ocean view when buying a home on Maui?
As a Maui Realtor, I get to see a lot of homes and condos and take pictures.  Why not share some of the views I see so potential buyers can get an idea of what they're getting?
When buying a Maui home, one of the important criteria is an ocean view.  Some buyers absolutely have to have one, and even want to be oceanfront with an expansive view that includes outer islands.  Others are satisfied with a peek-a-boo view, just a slice of the blue ocean in the … (7 comments)

Haiku Maui HI - Twin Falls Farm Stand - the movie!
Not long ago I posted some pictures of this famous Maui north shore roadside attraction... now here's the 1 minute movie!  
The Twin Falls Farm Stand is a popular spot on a sunny day, with so many cars pulled over by the side of the Hana Highway it can get dangerous.  People come for the waterfalls, which can be reached from the easy hiking trails.  They stay for the wonderful concoctions they whip up at the fruit stand, such as banana smoothies, and sugar cane juice.  Grab a cold drink and … (5 comments)

They say it rains every day in Haiku, but what do they know?
You know they say it rains every day in Haiku Maui and that may or may not be true.  On the 2nd Thursday of each month the Maui Realtors get together to view the new listings for the north shore.  In all the years I have been doing he Realtor caravan in Paia and Haiku there have been very few Thursdays when it is raining.  Like maybe once a year.
Today is one of those days with some sprinkles in Haiku, just a refreshing mist. But most of the time I can say the Realtor caravan … (11 comments)

Have a great Labor Day weekend.
