ABC Re-Run!

TV Networks show re-runs of shows on a day/time different than normally scheduled in order to promote new shows to another audience. That way they may gain new viewers. Great idea, huh??

Many of my blog readers are new to Life In Flip-Flops, so I like to repeat some past blog posts once in a while. I'm often surprised at what I find--I write the posts and totally forget what I wrote about! I love the reminder.

For the next few months I am going to repeat a series I called:

The ABCs Of The HIDC

I went through the alphabet and highlighted a word (or sometimes multiple words) for each letter, relating them to The Hawaiian Island Detective Club--mostly Pineapples in Peril.

Because all three books in the series are now published, I may add some additional things for certain posts.

As you read the posts, please let me know what other things come to your mind for a certain letter. Let's have some fun!

Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!

The Best Gifts

I love getting gifts--Do you??

The best gifts are those ones with a special little "twist"--something that has special meaning to the receiver.

Another great one is the gift of time or maybe something handmade or baked by the giver.

I have friends and family who always seem to find just the right special things that touch my heart. My sister-in-law finds the cutest little Flip-Flop gifts for me! Here are a couple fun ones from Christmas--a notepad and an ornament!

Hau'oli La Aloha!!

Two days until Valentine's Day!!

Maybe you're going to get chocolate from someone special, or maybe it will be flowers or a special dinner date. I'd be thrilled with any of those special treats!

If you were to get chocolate, what kind do you love the most? I love dark chocolate. My favorites are Sees and more recently, Moonstruck.

As a different, special treat, I enjoy white chocolate. A couple years ago I posted a recipe for White Coconut Mango Bark.

Click to link to the yummy recipe--a special treat just in time! Enjoy, and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!
