The Spirit of Aloha in Talk Story

Aloha…
During lunch today… a woman friend came into the restaurant… walked over to my table and asked if she could join me for a few minutes…
I invited her to sit down… and with that… she gave me two posters…
Each poster was six feet tall… and 2 1/2 feet wide…
And each poster was a Maui Jim Sunglasses poster…
The top of each said Maui Jim (of course) and the rest of the posters were scenes from Maui (of course)…
I’ve got them at home now… not sure where I will hang them (I’ve sorta run out of wall space what with all of the art work here at the house)…
But… because it’s my name here at Prosebox (and Easy Diary and Open Diary)… I’ll find a place for them…
Ahhhh… the spirit of Aloha is alive and well in Brookings, Oregon…
Me ke aloha…

I have a wild rose poster. I had it framed and it hangs on the wall in my living room. I'm so happy you received not only one but two Maui Jim posters. Our diary names are special and they deserve some kind of remembrance in our every day life. You've been Maui Jim for many, many, many years.

How thoughtful of her!

Yes... she said that she had been planning this for over a year... it took her that long to get the owner to part with them... (smiles)

Few of us have our own posters to hang on a wall...but because I am friends with a painter, I on the other hand have an expressionistic painting on my wall of a sort of version me at 42. I think you might want to post a photo,as I did, of you standing in front of one of your Maui Jim posters! The challenge is on.

Aloha...
I no longer own a camera... but perhaps sometime I might as a friend to do just that... (or not)

What a lucky guy you are to have such a thoughtful friend. It goes without saying, that she is lucky and blessed to have you as a friend as well.
I like ODSago's suggestion. Pose, snap, upload, post to PB. ;)
