Church and cemetery where Charles Lindbergh is buried
He told the doctor that “I would rather spend two days alive on Maui than two months alive here in New York.” Well, he got his wish, and passed away just a week later near Hana at the age of 72. Ironically, after living such a famous life, his funeral, at the Palapala Ho'omalu church, was attended by only a few. (from Wikipedia)

I received some exciting news recently!
I was judged a finalist in the Great American Song Contest. There are over 1900 songs in various categories submitted from 43 countries. They pick 50 winners and 100 finalists.
Now...what to do with it?
The song, not the award😀
Maybe start with an official website so I can display my award banner?
Get people to buy my song???

REFLECTIONS
I've enjoyed browsing through the pictures of our activities on the "Road to Hana". Memories all blend into one and its hard to remember the order of experiences. It's also hard to limit the number of photos! Maui truly is a magnificent, beautiful island. My mind and soul are still soothed with the reminiscing of the adventure! I'm ready to go again!
This has been a good 2 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.
"let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity." (Psalm 98:7-9)
