On the way in, we saw wild turkeys and deer. On the first night, we were visited at the cabin window by a coatimundi peering in the window. Then there were blue jays and other birds…
I have fond memories of this tropical drink at family holiday gatherings. I think my mom found the recipe and since she was obsessed with Hawaii at the time, it became a staple of Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was made with Ocean Spray Mauna La'i guava juice blend.

Ive barely even spent any time playing video games. What have I been doing, you ask? Ive been planning my next PC build! Its been nearly 6 years since I built my…
