Here is the banner that will be in our booth at the LDS book convention in Utah. I will be traveling to Utah the first week in August for this convention.
Here is a sample of the post cards we are making to sell on Tinian and Saipan, created from pictures taken by my daughter Liz when she visited Tinian in January.
The workers installing the brickwork along the median on Broadway are amazing! Look at the small pieces they are cutting to fill-in the gaps!
One of the sad things about Tinian is the number of homes that have been abandoned. Either they were destroyed in one of the Typhoons that frequently hit the island, or were never finished by the owner due to lack of funds.
The jungle seems to quickly take-over these abandoned buildings
Which brings up a concern I always have living here: what happens to those living in metal-sided homes, and homes with metal roofs, when the Typhoons hit? It would be like riding out a tornado in a trailer! Most new homes are all made of solid concrete to be able to withstand the extreme weather.

We will all need one of these when the next 'big one' hits the island! There have already been two big typhoons that formed just west of us and hit the mainland northwest of the islands (China and Japan).
this is one of my favorite homes on the island. I love the color and style, and it even has a little 'guest' bungalow in the back!
You can see why I like to walk around Tinian! The pictures never to them justice...
People are always finding creative ways to show off their flowers
Another large cactus on a tropical island... it is the twilight zone...
