ALOHA!

Welcome Back To Waikiki

Friend


click on photos, OK?
"Sweet is the memory of distant friends.

Like the mellow rays of the departing sun,

it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart."

~ Washington Irving


"My lady's presence

makes the roses red,

because to see her lips

they blush for shame."

yet leave it on it's stem."

How beautiful, a lovely post Cloudia. I too am concerned for you since I heard of the tsunami warning. You're very much in my thoughts today.

Thanks for the floral wakeup this morning. I hope that you and the rest of Hawaii are safe and well.

Be safe today. Evacuate to high grounds. Please report your safety after the fact.

Dear Cloudia -- wish you were in Kansas for now. Please heed the warnings and head to higher ground. Prayers are with you, favorite hubby, Pirate Kitty, and da boat. Let us know how you are when you can. Aloha, DrumMajor

thank you all soooo much!!!

Favorite Hubby, Miss Kitty & I are now on th 20th floor of a big cement building! We don't know what will be with our boat (we decided to be safe, rather than to run to sea)

Thanks for your prayers and good wishes! Our lives and home may change majorly, but we are a=safe. we are within half an hour of impact on our state so we will know more soon!

Watching and praying for you and for everyone in Hawaii today - and elsewhere.

I'll echo everyone else's sentiment: please check in when all this is done. I do indeed hope your Shabbat turns out to have much shalom in it.
