So we're recovering from yesterday's Potluck at the Protea farm; another success, with about 2 dozen intrepid adventurers who made the trip across the island from Puna and Hilo. It is nice to know that our efforts to make it to almost every potluck over there (an investment in time and fuel for us) are appreciated, and our friends are willing to make the tip out here in mass. We have a nice home, if I do say so myself, and everyone who makes it out here all seem to have a great time.

The movie this time reflected the upcoming holiday of Halloween; Here! Film's 'Hellbent' a wonderfully gory, campy, gay, slasher flick. Everyone was riveted! I kept hearing, "O gawd this is so gory/scary/bloody (etc.), I can't stop watching it!"

We were not blessed with much of a sunset, but the weather, which had been very hot in the morning, turned very pleasant about the time our first guests arrived, and stayed that way for the whole afternoon. Then just before sundown, our guests were treated to some of our very typical weather as the cloud layer came streaming up the hill and engulfed us in a thick fog.

Our Kona side friends, and some new faces from Ocean View made it to the gathering this time. Its nice to find some new friends closer to home, as well as finally get to sociallize with the Nursury guys who have been selling our plants right down the hill for years. They, along with the Banana Boys stayed later, and as our party wound down, we caravanned through the thick fog up the hill to another neighbor's birthday party, already in progress. We added nine guests to Keoni's birthday, and we were rewarded with an hour of live Hawaiian music and antics.

Thanks again to all our friends who made the trip.
