Subject: Aloha! Trumbles in Hawaii IX - Misc stuff and FINAL MESSAGE

Hello. Thank you for letting me share some of our time in Hawaii over the past couple of weeks. Here are a few final miscellaneous pictures.

We had a great time. The weather in Colorado was cold and the weather in Hawaii was very, very nice. We stayed with Andy and Amy and their three kids (Amy is my sister) and just had a lot of fun.

I have sent an invitation to you to view my pictures on Snapfish (except for all of you Compassion folks whose email addresses aren’t in my list in the correct format…if you are receiving this in your Compassion email account and you want an invite to see all of the Hawaii pictures that I posted to Snapfish, send me a message and I can arrange that). If you’ve enjoyed all of these pictures I’ve sent over the last two weeks or if you are very bored and have lots of time on your hands, then you may enjoy viewing more. Many of you have probably had enough so don’t feel obligated. There are almost 400 Hawaii pictures posted to Snapfish.

Did you know that the Hawaiian language has only 12 letters? The 5 vowels plus 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w).

Luhapelowu ahunani okaamenewi enikipi - Thanks for letting me share!

Actually, that’s not really Hawaiian; I just stuck a bunch of letters together.


P.S. Some of you have not been on the list of folks that received the prior 8 Hawaii messages (yes, this one makes 9). If you are interested in seeing those other messages, please just give me the word and I’ll be happy to pass them on to you.

God bless,
Dan
