Hello everybody!

I hope that you had a lovely Easter. Ours was beautiful! Here is a picture of the cross in our church on Easter Sunday morning. Everyone made flower leis to put on the cross as a special way to say "Thank You!"

And now back to hair...


Today I made two French braids with a zig-zag part, then looped the ends up and held them in place with a hair clip.
The results looked like this:

Easter Sunday night we had a meal after church; I made Chuukese-style fruit salad. You can kind of see my hair in this picture:

Your right, that food does look good!!! I love the hair though, really nice :) I cant wait till i have a bit more length to do the same sort of style, I'm just waiting so I can do at least One decent sized loop per braid. One day... :D

That's a great hair style! And everything looks like your Easter was as lovely, caring and blessed as ours.

Got to ask for the 7 year old, where's Wimsey? And what's Chuukense fruit salad?

Beautiful pictures. Tropical heat is too much for me (although I did live in Rio for a year and got kind of used to it then), but your pictures make it all look so lovely and tempting. Thank you for sharing with us!

Here he is!

And Chuukese fruit salad is pretty gross, imo. To make this huge bowl-ful, I mixed together:

5 huge cans of fruit cocktail in heavy syrup
4 cans evaporated milk
4 cans sweetened condensed milk
3 cans strawberry milk (from Japan)
2 boxes cream
2 jars coconut gel balls in syrup
1 bag mini-marshmallows
Red food coloring


You mix all this together, struggle to put it in the deep freeze so it gets cold, then serve it up in paper cups. It looks like pink milk with fruit in it, and folks here LOVE it~ they eat it like ice cream.

J says thanks! The salad sounds disgustingly sweet, but I bet the kids will love it.

Easter is my favorite holiday really. Past two have been miraculous for us. Good Friday, we adopted our four foster kids. Life has changed, nothing what I dreamed and it's all so much better.

I love the way you have your hair sectioned for the French braid, it's really unique.

If you're able to, would you be willing to do a video tutorial of one of your awesome braided updos? I am so curious to see how you get your braids to look so even and neat.
