We are also starting a cocoa crop and several types of nuts including macadamia, which we are known for.

Our coffee is considered the finest in the world.  Kona Coffee is highly prized.  Kauai Coffee is not as well known, but considered just at good.

Hey Rady,

I sent you an email ,but it keeps coming back undeliverable, what? you'll accept emailsfrom our friends in Nigeria but not me? I am insulted LOL! only kidding, here is the email I tried to send you.

So I will have to post it to you so you can go MEME yourself!

Hey Randy,

I was tagged tonight by Meme Madness... I've copied and am pasting the email below with what it is about, I'm tagging you for the next Meme :)

"I have the honors of choosing a couple of people to be MEMED. It's a tradition that's been going around for a few months here on AR. If you aren't sure of what this is about, just run a search in blogs using the word Meme and you'll find several posts.

It's an opportunity for you to share 5 things about yourself that most of us would not suspect or know. Have fun with it and give us some gossip. Than choose someone else on the network to do the same thing."
