         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Thursday, January 24, 2013:  Mark and Paula were mostly recovered from 20 hours of travel on a return trip from Hawaii.  The time zone difference between Hawaii and Brainerd is 4 hours, which further complicated getting their bodies back on Central Time. 

Their six year old car, Creampuff, started on the first turn of the key when it was 5 degrees below zero.  That was after it sat out for over two weeks in weather that was as much as 28 degrees below zero with a 40 mph wind at times.  All that with a 3 year old battery.  Thank you General Motors!

 

Paula brewed some fresh Kona coffee, which she and Mark learned to like in Hawaii. 

It went even better with her famous date nut bread at breakfast time.  A Gilbert Lodge favorite.

Coffee time was a good time to reflect about experiences in Hawaii.
Dessert at some lodge meals is Shortbread Cookies from Big Island Candies on the Island of Hawaii.

These cookies were hand-dipped in caramel and dark chocolate. 

Oh, what will their next great adventure be?  Time will tell.

Quote of the day:  Great to be back in Brainerd.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
