Maui b n b (no website yet but contact is: partnersusa@mac.com) is in danger of acquiring permanent residents. I am talking about mama and papa.

Well, of course there’s no place like home, so why aren’t THEY HERE?

I mean, where I am is home, right?  Where I AM!

But mama wrote that if you have to be away from home and it happens that Hawaii is where you are headed, you would do very well to choose Maui and stay with the nicest people in the world, one of whom is always writing me sweet letters and sending me photos of kitties doing ridiculously funny things, and being in their bed and breakfast makes you just want to sit in the lovely, peaceful, tropical magic of their garden and gaze at the ocean and the myriad flowers and the little speckledy white chicken that appears to rule the roost now, so to speak.

Mama says she could spend days in the garden just watching the birds flit in and out and listening to the subtle sounds of the island as it breathes under her feet or watch clouds changing from moment to moment while silky breezes move across the soft green grasses where egrets stroll to find bug dinner.

BUT—that sweet little chicken does NOT want egret company and Rosalind, one of the owners, says that the chicky terrorizes the egrets and they rarely visit when she is around.  The chicken, not Rosalind.  Rosalind also says that mama cannot come back here without ME next time around.

So I am pretty sure mama is going to send for me to take care of things.  I am a protector of birdies BUT NOT CHICKENS.

Mama asked Barrie, the other owner (a famous animator in his day) whether he might want a nice chicken dinner some night, but he declined.  “We love our chicken, that’s the problem.”

But papa’s sister who lives one street away just happens to know a very irritating rooster wno might be persuaded to trot over here (if roosters trot) and whisk this chicky away on a honeymoon to Honoloulou, never to be seen again tormenting egrets, so tonight, under a full moon, mama is going rooster hunting with a handful of organic, non-gluten, low-fat, non OGM, no artificial colors or flavors, rooster-friendly corn kernals (this is Maui, after all), and that rooster had better watch his back!

More on this saga later…I have to pack.

See, I’m getting better at the hula! (Grass skirt out of frame)
