Hello everybody!

I've been off-island for a while~ a close friend died and my brother and I went to his home island for the funeral. While we were there we got to see many beautiful sights...


Such as...

Sorry that your close friend died.

Those are beautiful pictures! I've never been to the islands there, only to Hawaiian islands (they were beautiful too- my DH didn't want to go back home).

Your hair looks beautiful as always! :)

Thank you~ y'all are all very kind.

About my hair~ well, on the way home I wore it in a French braid. I started out with the end folded up and held in place with two hair clips, but eventually I let it down. It seemed to do okay. Here are a couple of pictures I found from the return trip:

Ah-ha, I also found one someone snapped while I was getting ready to leave~ I wore it in a small center French braid and a bun:

You're welcome :) Would love to see pics if/when you do! :)

I keep meaning to get some taken, and then I forget!! I'll see if I can take some tomorrow~ personally I like the "new me" :)

Oh, thanks!

And I'm glad you like my shirt :) My brother, sister and I went to Greg Laurie's Harvest Crusade in Auckland this summer~

[arc691]

Thank you all so much for the kind words and hair compliments~


I'll add a new thread w/ my look from today...


And yes, that's a Nancy Drew shirt! I tell Nancy Drew stories on our radio station~ each book has 20 chapters, so every week-day I translate a chapter into Chuukese and then add sound effects. Nancy has many fans here in the islands! :)

[Teufelchen]

Sorry to hear about your friend. :grouphug:

Your pictures are amazing. :)
