It’s Aloha Friday! For those who participate in this bloggy carnival hosted by Kalani, we know that this is the time to talk story about anything an everything. We ask a question and the readers answer on the comment section. No hard questions, just some topics for a fun Friday. Please come and us.
I posted this announcement of “Wailuku First Friday” on Thursday morning but I thought this is an appropriate” Aloha Friday post” since it’s about Friday 
Soo…. my question is “what are you doing this Friday to celebrate the Aloha Friday?” For my son and I, we will be at this Wailuku First Friday event. Hapa Boy will be selling cookies there to raise funds for him to go to a Youth Camp. If you are a Maui resident, or here visiting, I invite you to come to this event. It’s actually a very festive event at the heart of Wailuku town. I think you’ll enjoy it. We did

The photo was taken by me, from our lanai (deck) 30 minutes prior to the supposedly 9 ft. tall tsunami. Thank God the tsunami turned out to be just about 3 feet all. It’s been a heck of a day, and I am tired … so only one pic for this week. For more Weekly Winner pics, visit SarcastiicMom Blog.

* For Aloha Friday question, please scroll down. It’s towards the end of this post.
Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin Texas in 1980, and since then it has grown to hundreds of stores in the USA, UK and Canada. Whole Foods Market opened up here on Kahului, Maui on Wednesday Feb 24th, and it had a very successful first day! Before I go on talking story about the first day of Whole Foods Kahului, let me back track a little bit and talk about my “sneak peek” experience. You see, A Maui Blog was invited to have a preview of WFM Kahului on February 17th.
And I was pretty impressed! I planned to blog about that experience right after the visit but my busy mama life did not allow me to do so. However, on that day I tweeted away about @WFMKahului and then uploaded the photos on A Maui Blog Facebook Fan Page for everyone to see what’s inside. After I tweeted about it and posted about it on my Facebook, I immediately got a couple of comments about “whole paycheck”. Huh? I was not quite sure what they meant. You see, that was my first experience with Whole Foods Market (thus the title of this post). WFMKahului is the very first Whole Food Store I have stepped my feet on. Thanks to Jenn Russo of A Maui Time, the issue about the “whole paycheck” was explained.
Moving on to the Grand Opening, it was a very festive day! It was a Wednesday so it’s a regular work day, but I managed to go there for the lunch break. I saw a lot of people I know like @Peterliu47. Other Tweeps were there too like @DaniaKatz, @DJSmook and @Raatz. One thing I like about WFM is the variety of choices I have for a meal – the salad bar, the hot food, etc. See photos below:
So for my ALOHA FRIDAY meme, the question is “Do you have a Whole Foods Market near you”? If yes, do you go there? Alternative question is “Do you like cooking”? “What healthy food do you like or recommend”?
