There was some overcast but relatively little rain for the oh-so-short days I
was in Hawaii (on the big island). My daughter and I drove all the way around
the island on Friday (that was a long drive!), stopping at botanical gardens
and Kilauea crater. The wedding Saturday evening was small (only 21 of us) and
quite humorous (the groom is trying hard to get the wedding ring on the bride's
finger so the minister says, "Just like marriage, gotta keep working at it").
Our hotel room had a Gideon bible, a book of Buddhist sayings, and a book by
Conrad Hilton. I was tempted to bring the books back, to put on Bookshare, but
that wouldn't have been right, so I resisted the temptation. Overall, very fun
time. I recommend going to Hawaii to everyone, beautiful place, with lots to
do and see. Very good to be home though...

After I wrote, I went to Amazon.com I see that
Whispers through the Trees is a 2005 edition. Perhaps
it's too new to be in theLC catalog yet. I didn't
check the government copyright site. I'd assumed from
what Sarah said that it was old. The experience
teaches me--or should if I remember :-) --not to
assume anything.
I did do one un-necessar search--because of the
secondpart of the title--The Mystery of Swallow
Island--I thought it might be a Bobbsey Twins book--my
favorites growing up.
Carrie, I guess I missed the post before that you're
going to a wedding. Have a wonderful time. Did the
post that I missed say where it was? I hope the
weatehr is perfect for your trip and for the wedding.
