"Eye on the Hawaiian Eye Tiki"

THIS TIKI MAY BE HIDING IN BEHIND THE TROPICAL HALEICONIA PLANTS, BUT LET IT BE KNOWN,  THIS TIKI'S GOT HIS EYE ON YOU.

Thirsty Hawaiian Gecko

TIS' ST. PATTY'S DAY AND ALL IS GREEN AND LUCK IS ABOUND.
 DID YOU KNOW THAT IN HAWAII IT'S CONSIDERED LUCKY TO HAVE A GECKO IN THE HOUSE?  WITH OVER 900 SPECIES OF GECKO'S ACROSS THE GLOBE, ONLY EIGHT LIVE IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.  THROUGHOUT THE  HAWAIIAN LEGENDS THERE IS THE "MO'O", A MYTHICAL DRAGON.  THE MO'O IS ONE OF THE OLDEST  GUARDIAN SPIRITS KNOWN AS "AUMAKUA".  LIKE THE SHARK, OWL, AND THE HAWK, THE MO'O WERE NOT EATEN OR HARMED.  THE GECKO WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN A MANIFESTATION OF THE MO'O DRAGON, AND TO HAVE SUCH A GUARDIAN IN THE HOME WAS AND STILL IS CONSIDERED TO BE GOOD LUCK.

"Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey Dance!"

MY WIFE STARTED THE TRADITION OF THE FAMILY DANCING WITH THE TURKEY DECADES AGO.  THEN WHEN THE KIDS GREW UP AND THEY ASKED THEIR FRIENDS WHEN WILL THEY BE DANCING WITH THE TURKEY BEFORE THEY COOKED IT?  WELL THEIR FRIENDS HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, DANCING WITH THE TURKEY?!!.  WELL THAT  PROMPTED A PHONE CALL HOME TO LET THEIR MOM KNOW THAT DANCING WITH THE TURKEY IS NOTHING ANYBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF!
 THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT  IT'S SIMPLY A WAY OF HONORING THE ANIMAL YOU ARE ABOUT TO EAT,  A TRADITION AS OLD AS MANKIND ITSELF.
THESE DAYS WE STILL DANCE WITH THE TURKEY AROUND OUR HOUSE.
                                            HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.
