These wonderful soft colours.... Just adorable, Bernie!
So sorry that happened to you. I am so glad everyone is ok, and baby purple is lovely.
Glad you're ok. I would have flipped if I saw a message like that. Are there many bomb shelters?
I am happy that you are ok, Junkenpo!!!
Sounds like a harrowing experience . Hope all is well . So lovely to see the gentle shade of purple against the backdrop of the bluey skies .
Thanks for the sympathies, all! It was harrowing.... one missile? More? Targeting all the islands, or just Oahu? Most of our population is on Oahu... I was at UH Manoa when 9/11 happened, and that was somber... but this was terrifying because it was so close to home. We have a strong military presence on Oahu, so the other thought is, can they shoot it out of the sky before it does (too much?) damage? And of course, the other thought is ... what type of ballistic missile? My understanding is they have a 10-30 mile radius, so that would pretty much reach almost short to shore on most parts of the islands. Since we were at home, we sheltered in place. After verification of the false alarm, watching all the vids of people reacting to the warning was very sobering.
Here's a picture of The Big Jade.... weighty and comforting.
I have 2 of those ping an kou bracelets too. Completely forgot that I have them, until I see your pic now.Thanks I love pastels
Yup 2boysmommy it’s a new bracelet . I like the colorful tiny jade buttons . They call it ping an kou in mandarin which translate to safety buttons .
