Hello Everyone
I'm Anna and I'm a Puna-holic - LOL - bad joke; couldn't resist.
We live in Hawaiian Acres - we being Randy and I - and about 9-10 wild pigs. The local pig hunters have "hung out" here the past two evenings in hopes to spot them...maybe tomorrow; they're tearing up the yard!! (the pigs, not the hunters
We love our place - 3 acres, great house, great 100 tree orchard on adjacent 3 acres. That's why the pigs love it here too! We don't own - we are renting long term, for now.
Being from the midwest - SW Ohio to be exact - the housing market is much more modest than California or Hawaii. My 1/2 acre, 4 bedroom 1 1/2 bath brick ranch with full basement, and certified backyard wildlife habitat sold for a whopping $160,000.00 in May of 2004 - hardly enough profit to buy a place here. But the kids are grown and I'm having the time of my life!!
Our friend owns a large (and growing) coffee farm in Holualoa above Keauhou on the west side and I work for her as a business/marketing consultant. I put together a darn good business plan and 3 year forecast to help her expand and am helping her implement the marketing plan we put together to sell her estate grown roast. (enough mention of work!)
To wake up each morning to birdsong and rainbows is the best! (and preferable to the snow, cold and pollution of SW Ohio
Way to go Nora and Fred - looks like the Steelers crushed the Bengals in Sunday's play-off game. Ouch! Of course, we don't have cable TV here in this part of Hawaiian Acres and satellite TV isn't feasible with the cloud interference so we didn't watch the game but man, did we ever hear about it from family and friends back in SW Ohio Congrats to you!
I look forward to getting to know you all better. I suffered with a pinched sciatic nerve when we first moved here which took about 6 weeks to heal (I overdid it during the move). So we've been slow to meet people but are finally getting out and making new friends. I hope to see you all around Puna
Peace - Anna
