Aloha from the island of Oahu! Jay and I spent a couple of days surfing in Waikiki and I am proud to say that on Wednesday, we surfed twice in one day. And yesterday was my birthday, and I got to surf. It was the very first time I've ever surfed on my birthday.
I am very happy here. We drove to the North Shore yesterday afternoon and are in awe of its beauty. We are staying in a beautiful cottage that comes with two bicycles and on the property there are two sheep, some chickens and a cat. The roosters start crowing before the light breaks, but we don't mind. And, I just ate some fresh pineapple.
I am pretty excited so I have to tell you that just a couple of hours ago, we went to Ted's Bakery and ran into our wedding photographer, Adam Palmer. This was after I read a book in our cottage last night about the North Shore, and then noticed that he was the photographer! Adam had the day off and was taking his kids to jump off the rock at Waimea.
Oh yes, we ran into Jay Adams at Ted's, too! But just before we stopped in the bakery for that chocolate haupia cream pie, we spent a little time on the beach with Buttons Kaluhiokalani.
Buttons is an open, kind and generous person. Here we are at Backyards this morning. Very windy. I think it was a good hair day for Buttons, but not for me.
Now, Jay and I are going to go check out Velzyland, Pipe and maybe take a jump off of "da big rock". Reporting from the North Shore, this is PLuv wishing you much Aloha and a very happy Surf Fridays.
p.s. To see what Buttons has been up to lately, check out this great interview on Liquid Salt.

"I think it was a good hair day for Buttons". That is so priceless. I've always been fascinated by his hair. Of course, the young Surfsister hadn't realized that Buttons is black. I didn't know that until I read—actually, I edited it—that interview in Liquid Salt. Good hair day? Girl, you're hysterical. That's the same thing one could say about my hair. It looks the same every day . . . and is all over my head!
Catch a wave for me!

I am so happy for you! I bet it's just the best trip! Stoked! I hope you have a wonderful time and many safe and stoke-filled travels!
Happy, happy birthday, Jamie! I hope you're enjoying an awesome trip.
Jay's photos from the last were amazing, as was the interview. Based on his answers, he can make me a mix-tape (or the 2009 version of one) anytime!
My goodness, his body is slamming. He makes 50 (and older) look damn sexy. (I do realize his face shows the years he spent as an addict, but his body sure doesn't!!)
Tell Buttons that I said he's a "sexy beast" (a term I fell in love with after seeing a quirky movie of the same title when I was pregnant with my little man).
Ah...what a great post Jamie! have some poi for me! :)
I forgot we are birthday twins! Yay :) It sounds like you had an AMAZING birthday. Enjoy the rest of your visit. My mom went to college at U of H in the late 60s, and loved her time there. Big hugs!
P.S. Buttons looks way cool, and I agree, very hot for 50! Dang!
So great to see you two again. Congrats on the anniversary!
Happy belated birthday!
