Dessert Thursday

Mea 'ai momona Po'aha, yes happy dessert Thursday my friends and the girls are looking for something sweet to eat because they are in a playful mood.  Lets face it Kono she has a gut instinct that rivals the boss's, so a reason to smile.  Then again knowing dessert is coming is a reason to smile as well.  

Then we have Gabby and Gracie also just as playful knowing all along that playing in the sand is not the only way to get along.  Girls love to bond over their sweets, oh maybe they can share a little with Danno if he behaves himself.  

Graham Kerr said  "I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."  This totally describes our ladies to a T.
