Gorgeous tulip. Would like to have a garden of that type!

Oh, Thank you, Dear (((((((Amy)))))))! It's an Honor to be Part of the Free Republic Family, and a Privilege. I Lurked for Months Before Signing Up, because of Shyness, but So Wanted to Participate that I Finally Signed Up. Our Dear Maggie, Lady X, Taught me how to Post Pics, Use Font Colors, and even how to Send Emails, and how to Store Pics in Email, and I'll Always be Grateful to her, and Look Forward to Seeing her Again in Heaven. Freepers are So Nice! Billie and Meg Taught me how to Make Frames for Pics, and Dolly Helped me to Learn to Sign my Name at the Bottom of them. So Many have Shown me Uncountable Kindnesses Along the Way, and I'm So Thankful.

Thank you Again for your Thoughtfulness, my Sweet FRiend; All you Do for us All is So Appreciated!!

That was exciting.... not...:) False alarm, lol.

Still having one at a time here, lots of visits. I think it’s a momma feedin’ younguns.

Wonderful watercolor.... I love watercolors.

‘Afternoon, Amy. Hawaiian music coming up in a bit.

[La Enchiladita]

Awesome, OESY:) Thank you.

Some say the last King of Hawaii was this beloved fellow:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (IZ)~~Somewhere Over the Rainbow

La 'Elima (Wailea Sunset

Maui Medley (wish I knew the proper name of this song)

Henehene Kou'aka

Hawaiian Like Me

[fish hawk]

Brother IZ passed away a few years ago now but he still is number one here in the islands. He lives on in the hearts of the Hawaiian people.

I found a video of his memorial awhile back ... where they took his ashes out to sea ... but apparently it has been pulled.

I’m so glad to see what you said about him.

[OESY]

Awesome. I almost tried it once. I was sorry I couldn't get a booking in the limited time we had. Naturally, I kept clicking your photo for more. Is it time to stop?

[OESY]

Lovely sunset and great music, Dita. I wonder if Mr. Kamakawiwo Ole' sings the Hawaiian wedding song also. I'm sure he must. It's a keeper. The only link I have is this by his brother Elvis Kamakawiwo Ole'.

I see I have you conditioned to click on photos- :)

[OESY]

Thanks, jaycee. Sorry I missed all your great posts over the past few days.

*Happy FR Anniversary, Dear Kitty*

[jaycee]

Were you away too? I was not online for two days. Had a lot to catch up on...housework, writing checks and getting eyes checked. I always miss when I’m not on and I haven’t hardly posted any pictures today.

Oesy, your story touched me and probably everyone. I wish peace for your sweet pardner, most of all, and to you also. It is hard on the caregiver also. I have been through that and wouldn’t take back a moment but it was tough many, many times. God Bless you two~~~

Happy King Kamehameha Day!

I saw their state flag on a beautiful yacht motoring through the Cape Cod Canal last summer. Now, that would be the trip of a lifetime!

[MEG33]

Take me there!
