That's beautiful! Thanks for sharing it!


Guill...I wrote you another beautiful reply but they would not let me post it until I counted the umbrellas in that puzzle picture thingie and they kept saying I got it wrong (I see the umbrellas, duh!) and finally I gave up. Sorry.

About communication styles... sometimes I think people are telepathic mind-readers...and they are not! I actually have to try to make myself be known! That's sometimes difficult. This has been a kind of lifelong problem for me. I really need to work on it.

The villagers didn't force people together...more like matching up like people. I remember there were a few teen boys who wanted to be independent so they put them all in one big grass hut (yes, grass hut) like a dorm...and it became like the party hut. Girls weren't allowed inside so they hung by the front veranda. It was so cute.

PS I get the thing about the beach and the storm. People peg me as a very calm person so when I get upset (stormy) THEY FREAK OUT and then I have to be all worried about them.

PS No, my adult brothers bully me now. Not physically...more like, intellectually, making me feel dumb. Sigh. I have four brothers and am the only female as my older sister died a few years ago. They miss her...they were like the Lost Boys and she like Wendy. I am just...the scapegoat. So now I have run away from them for awhile!
