Our little Hawaiian Princess with her plumeria flower

This morning's rainbow

A family photo.

What a beautiful day. Shorty and I saw a rainbow on our walk this morning over our favorite hill ending down by Pearl Harbor. I like to think it may be the stairway to heaven for those who were intered in the harbor yesterday with their shipmates at both the USS Arizona and the USS Utah. They interviewed several of the survivors last night on the news and they were commenting on how each year the number of survivors is dwindling and that they are going to disband the Survivors Organization because they can no longer find any one to serve as officers for the group. It will remain as a social group. I think the youngest survivors are 88 years old and the speakers yesterday were talking about the importance of passing on their stories so that the next generation will have a better understanding of what occurred 70 years ago in Pearl Harbor.

Today is Matt's last day on leave and he will be heading back to Bahrain tonight at 11 p.m. This morning we had a photo shoot here at home to get some pictures of Evelyn and her daddy. We also got to FaceTime Luke & Lily which is always pretty interesting and lots of laughs.
