More about LOST in a moment, but now for more on The Farmer Files...
You have to be a fan of the show to get the whole concept of our new header. For those of you that don't know, LOST is filmed almost all on Oahu, where we live. The series follows the lives of survivors of Oceanic flight 15, a plane that crashed on a mysterious tropical island. The flight departed from Sydney, Australia, and was headed for Los Angeles.

The survivors find themselves establishing a new community, and getting to know the island. Mysterious things happen on this beautiful island. The survivors see things they have never seen before, and things happen here that happen nowhere else. There is a chance to go home, but some like Hurley and John don't want to go back. This is pretty much where the parallels end between the show and The Farmer Files.

About us...We have made friends here that we otherwise would have never made. We have been so blessed by them! Things happen here in Hawaii that we have never encountered in other parts of the country. We have learned what it means to Live Aloha. You also have to live here to understand the shirts that say, "Relax. This ain't the mainland!" The people here are so giving, loving, and make us feel part of their "Hanai." That means part of their family, though we are not related by blood. Then there are the things that happen that only happen on the island. They are quirky kinds of things to mainlanders. Here is just a little bit about what the Farmer Family calls T.I.H.

Our family finds ourselves at a crossroads. We know where we came from, and there are so many reasons not to go back. This island has truly been a complete deviation from our mainland life. But then we find ourselves like other characters on LOST, Jin, Sawyer, and Michael, that do long to go back to their old lives. It is hard to live somewhere without family around. We find ourselves waiting for the next episode in life. Unfortunately, Hubby's job is not here forever, though I have threatened to throw myself on the tarmac and refuse to leave. One day we will leave the island, though. We don't know exactly when, but we know it will happen. For now, we are enjoying Hawaii and all that it has to offer. Like the characters on LOST, we weren't expecting to land in Hawaii. It was only through the generosity of a colleague that our lives completely changed.

Now about LOST, if you used to watch, but are amongst those that got bored in Season 2, the writers heard you! That is why they sped up the story line in the second half of last season, and the viewership totally resurrected itself. Supposedly a secret DVD was sent to a select group of previewers on Monday with the first two episodes. They are raving about the new season!
