Lei Day - Jen & Smoke

A LEIbor of Love

As a long-time Hawaiian Airlines flyer, I received an e-mail announcing their upcoming “CeLEIbrate Aloha” Photo Contest, and call for submissions. So, as any writer would naturally do, I submitted the following story, feeling confident I would win! Did I? Nope, but I was happy to share my heartwarming story just the same. Enjoy…and Happy Lei Day!

We flew Smoke from Californian to Hawai’i when he was 29 years young. On his 33rd birthday, my hubby, Pat, crafted this beautiful lei from Ohia branches, leaves and vibrant red Lehua blooms hand picked on our property in Paauilo, Big Island. Draping it across his neck, weaved among his flowing white mane, demonstrated Pat’s aloha to me, while ceLEIbrating the remarkable love between a rider and her horse.

Smoke lived to enjoy three more glorious years of Hawaii life, then jumped the rainbow on May 1, Lei Day, 2018.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

What Clients Are Saying

“Jen was very proactive in all aspects of selling our property and found contractors to keep the property looking good throughout the listing period. She also provided advice throughout the process and was very helpful in getting the transaction done at a distance (we were on the mainland throughout the process). Her knowledge of the Hamakua Coast was very helpful in helping prospective buyers understand the regulatory and practical issues associated with shoreline properties.”
