A very short story about a girl named Virginia who gives up her life in New York for a new life in California.
Lehua, Ka'ao a ka Wahine
In the spring of 1819 King Ka me ha me ha the first died after reigning over the first unified Kingdom of Hawai’i. His young son, Li ho li ho, became Kamehameha II, but effective control of the government was inherited by the old king’s favorite wife, Ku hina Nui [Queen Regent], Ka’a hu ma nu. That fall, Liholiho was forced to agree to the abandonment of the native religion: the lifting of the ka pu.
Five months later, the first contingent of Christian missionaries arrived. It was a death sentence to the 3000 year old Ka naka Ma oli [true people] culture in Hawai’i.
Lehua lia kahu’ama lio’aka lani pa’aka lo le [Lehua, the shiny haired questioner], the fictitious young noblewoman of this novel, comes of age at this trying moment in Hawaiian history. Her ancestry gives her the right, responsibility and ability to be her people’s leader, but with the lifting of the kapu, she is suddenly bereft of her divine reason to be.
Beset by doubt, alien temptations and a welter of rational, if frightening, options, she falls in love with a half-Hawaiian paniolo [cowboy] who, in rescuing her from kidnappers, takes her on a romantic Hawaiian road trip, and they fall in love.
Together, they confront an uncertain future astride the divergent forces that will ultimately doom her culture.
In 1893 local American businessmen overthrew the Republic of Hawai’i and traded the Islands to the U. S.

Thanksgiving
When was the first Thanksgiving and who created it?
Thanksgiving is not just a day we celebrate in November here in America. From generation to generation, people have been giving offerings and Thanksgiving in a feast full way, every since about 1440 BC.
This puts a different outlook on the Thanksgiving word and day for me. I will never take another [waking up] [eating] [going to work] or going to sleep with a roof over my head] ever again without thanking God our Lord and Savior along with all the people in our life for everything they have done for us. If it were not for the Lord we would not be able to do the natural talents and actions we do to benefit our lives.
We would not have shoes, clothes, material to build our homes, food for our meals. How would you know to plant seeds? Where would factories have come from? Furthermore how did we know to build the boats to come across the ocean to get where we live now? What would you do if all the jobs were gone tomorrow? Would you be able to live in the class of living you are living now?
To me, Thanking the Lord for the life He created in this world we live in, is a mandatory Thanksgiving day every day.
The first Thanksgiving that I have found documented is in the Holy Bible about 1440 B.C. The book of Leviticus, Chapter 7, Verses 12-15, and Chapter 22, Verses 29-30.
I hope I have shown light for someone today.

A preview and extracts from The Prang Codex, an episodic collection of tales set loosely in the mid twelfth century, in the last remaining independent Saxon monarchy in Norman England, due to a nifty legal loophole and an ancient Norman Conquest Charter.
A set of chronicles in which the King suffers visits from the two mincing actors, Short and Curly: Lorenz Lawne-Bowlyngge, the flamboyant interior designer: Dr Misaubin, the travelling apothecary and snake-oil man: the misguided owner of a henge-building franchise: a bunch of Notaries from the law firm of Minge Minge Crap-hound Spiv & Minge: Tull, the inventor of the Gardeners Claw: a money-grabbing Water-diviner: an itinerant Tiler: a bunch of homicidal German mercenaries: Joey Pantolooni, the leader of the worst circus on the planet, and many more, and we meet Griswolde Pauncefoote, the worst musician in the world: his brother, the Black Knight: Rijk Van Dyjke, the Flemish ice sculptor: Max Hispano-Suiza, carriage builder and second-hand cart dealer: Leonardo Van Tableaux, the hack tabloid painter: Archer, the longbow-man prepared to commit perjury on the King’s behalf: Dr Placebo-Ganglion, the castle physician: Blacques Jacques à t’Acques, the “French” pirate captain: Robin Hood: The Assassin Astreau-Turphe & Henry II (real King).
Our window into this murky medieval world is through the medium of Prang’s Journal, a scruffy assemblage of parchment sheets loosely bound in a ratty piece of second-hand vellum, that has survived the ravages of the centuries against all odds. Prang’s daily entries however are somewhat economical with the truth to put it mildly, tending to gloss over his faux pas in his dealings with the King and even omitting some of the worst episodes altogether. Fortunately for the sake of history we are able to assemble the true events behind these woefully sketchy diary entries from various recently-discovered contemporary writings which, unfortunately from Prang’s viewpoint, put the record straight.
Here, for the first time together, are extracts from Wizard Prang’s Journal, a chronicler clearly not in the same class as Samuel Pepys, together with the true catastrophic events behind each entry.
The mightiest warrior in the land, Malek of Gath, prepared for his battle to the death--a duel with the champion of the opposing army.
A new career as a travel agent leads to an unforgettable trip on board a classic ship. A chance meeting paints a colorful historic picture in the blue waters of the Pacific.
A woman shunned by society, used by men, nameless...and yet she would become one of the most famous women in the bible.
A courtesan in the town of Bethany, she hears the teaching of this man named Jesus. Something pulls at her heart to go and express her belief in his teachings.
But what could she bring to the son of God?
Little does she know, he has something for her.
