Kids are back in school and summer's winding down.  The holidays are coming around the corner!  Can't believe how quickly time flies.  Spend this holiday enjoying your family, friends and making great memories! (Please note that Kilohana Grill will be closed on Monday, Sept 5) 


If you are fortunate enough to be in Hawaii between 9/17 and 9/24, don't miss the incredible Aloha Week festivities on Oahu.  It's an awesome sight to see the huge floats and the beautiful ladies riding horses adorned with fabulous leis. 

       

Hope you are all well -

DAYS OF MY YOUTH ON KAUAI - MYRON KASHIMA
         

HULA LIFE BEFORE WALMART  

Seeing all the "Back-to-School" ads reminds me of how it was for us back on Kauai.  Since we were on such a small island, there were no big shopping malls or big department stores.  Lihue Store and Yoneji's store had a poor selection of clothes and shoes and prices were much higher than the stores on Oahu. (Those old stores that served the community are long gone.)

 

We knew at the end of summer, mom and dad would pack us all up (there were only four kids then) and we would fly to Oahu to shop for our clothes and get new shoes.We'd be so excited that we would get to ride a big airplane and  we stayed at a small hotel or at Uncle's house. I recall going to Sea Life Park or to a ballgame at the o-l-d "termite palace" the wooden Honolulu Stadium as well.     

Looking back, I now realize that was the only time my dad and mom actually took a break from working.  The cost of taking six people on a plane and go shopping must have been extremely high versus the meager pay that they both earned.   

 

I have a greater appreciation of what it took for us to get those new clothes and new shoes.... thanks mom and dad! 

                             

Aloha, Myron 

 
HAIKU FARMS MINUTE
(Monthly update on the rebirth of our
family farm on Kauai)   
dad counting ti leaves

Biggest news this month is that dad is back helping us on the farm!  It's been several years since he lost most of his sight and he's really missed working everyday. He's sooo happy to be working the land again.

 

Here's a picture of dad counting the leaves to put into bundles for sale, he's inspecting them with his hands at the same time.  Amazing!

          ALOHA FESTIVAL 

HONOLULU'S 65 year-old Aloha Festivals is the oldest and largest Hawaiian cultural celebration in the United States. What is known today as Aloha Festivals was created in 1946, as Aloha Week - a cultural celebration of Hawai'i's music, dance and history intended to perpetuate our unique traditions.    

 

Aloha Festivals has become a celebration of our Hawaiian culture. Integrated into the culture are many island traditions and customs of each of the Hawaiian islands. Thousands of volunteers labor together each year to stage the events, which are attended statewide by nearly a million people.

 

2011 Dates are 9/17/11 for the Waikiki Hoolaulea and 9/24/11 for the Floral Parade.
