Aloha Sis and D,

How comforting to see the photo of you two!! Mare, you look great! D, get a haircut!!! (kidding, you look alright. You're still the best looking brother I have!!!)

It always does my heart good to hear that things are going as well as they should be. I spoke with both Dad & J and got a bit more info on everything that's been happening. Hoping you two are soon home to the comforts of your own surroundings. There's no place like home!

Sounds like the 'Mary mobile' will be cruising the highways soon enough. Dad says it is a fine ride!! Sure beats the heck out of cramped seats and recycled cootie air!!! Hope the fridge arrives soon enough. Gotta have snacks to travel!

Just a quick update on what's happening here as so many people have e-mailed us regarding the disaster and our well-being. We are A-Okay. Pretty scary stuff and a devastating blow to the community here. We are isolated from the rest of the island at the present time, but they are hoping to provide one passable lane on the highway soon.

Happy thoughts, prayers and much love from us to you!!!!

aloha Nui Loa
