Week 13: Na Mele O Pua (Songs of the Flowers)

BOT:

Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana!

Hope you’re all enjoying the Sunshine this week, what a welcome change from all the Ua (Rain) we had this 2 weeks! However as you’ll see from the Tricorder Scans by Donna that didn’t stop the UFOhana from enjoying last Friday Uke Night. Mahalo Donna for the great memories…

So as you’ve surmised from this week’s Blog Title, we are to engage in Songs about / contains / alludes / to a favorite Hawaiian Kauna – Na Pua (The Flowers). I guess this could also apply to our food them too huh? Just let your imagination go! But don’t forget to post your IR’s to the blog now. Like Brudda Bu said, “Eh, anybody coming? Wea all the postings?”

Mahalo Hana Hou to the KP (Kitchen Patrol) for doing a great clean up last week and to Amy and Bu for that cool dish washer for the night spinner thingy. . . . and to Palapala for doing the spinner! And to all of you that bring that wonderful KauKau every week, your wonderful mele, Aloha, Mana, and your generous donations to the UFOhana Yellow Bucket. All this and the‘extra’ little things that you all do make Uke Night such a pleasure . . .

Uke-Ku:
A flash of pure light,
Waters flow into Ma Kai,
Land rejoins the sun.

Aloha Nui Loa,
