I moved in for the kill. (not literally!) They probably explained all this, but we missed it. Even if I had heard the explanation, in my mind it's fleeting! :) For a fleeting moment it was like he caught my eye. Then he was gone! She, too, looked up for a fleeting moment. Each beat of the drum is fleeting as the sound fades nearly the instant the drummer strikes the drum. I drifted off for a fleeting moment and forgot what I was saying. I hade to erase the beginning of my first caption. There was nothing fleeting about the amount of preparation that went into this performance. For a fleeting moment they enjoyed the limelight. Even the sunlight, beaming down on this young man is fleeting in San Francisco. One fleeting bow and the performance has fleeted by. Soon they will start another dance, then the entire event will be a thing of the past for them as well as us. http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/08/travel-theme-costumes/ http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/08/travel-theme-costumes/#comments Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:57:26 +0000 tchistorygal http://tchistorygal.com/?p=5801 ]]> http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/08/travel-theme-costumes/feed/ 7 tchistorygal The new Marsha ??? McBryde Botanical Gardens, Kauai, HI I got a little shaky taking this picture. hahaha I had my zoom extended out to 270 mm, and I was in too much of a hurry! hahaha The women didn't get as into the total costume as the young man did.

Luau Kalamaku in Kauai Aren't they adorable? Such beautiful hair! Cindy's doing well with bowling, and working hard on her tan, too! The band was in the back, or front as we faced our table. I don't know what is spinning, but these pictures are going to make you dizzy. Calling in the fire goddess, and blessing the food. This wasn't even the main show! The train is coming. I'm not sure what train, but there were train tracks outside of the building.

A view of the grounds from inside the train would have given us a broader perspective. Does this really need a caption? From my perspective, I don't think so. From his perspective inside the train, I wonder what he thought. From Vince's perspective, he had a gift to explore, and a tiki to buy for a gift.

Me, Great-Grandma Martha, Grandma Golda, and Mom Peggy. Students see that my friend survived the worst horror they can imagine. Life has a silver lining. My friend's intensity speaks to students, and helps them believe in a silver lining. We don't know who might be the next Oklahoma City bomber. We need to teach them ALL that there is a silver lining beyond their personal tragedy. Any of life's tragedies has a silver lining. http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/01/cloud-storage-products/ http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/01/cloud-storage-products/#comments Sat, 01 Jun 2013 11:05:23 +0000 tchistorygal http://tchistorygal.com/?p=5662 ]]> http://tchistorygal.com/2013/06/01/cloud-storage-products/feed/ 35 tchistorygal Cloud Storage Solutions Start reading Dropbox Google Docs
