Ten on Ten ~ November 10, 2010

      From Indio, California - 

in the Palm Springs area,

a desert resort city at the east end of the Coachella Valley, about 130 miles

east of Los Angeles on Interstate 10 ...

we're enjoying our first full day

at WorldMark Indio!

View below is from our balcony ...

 We enjoyed the exercise room,

floating in the man-made lazy river,

and soaking in the hot tub!

  

  



Ten on Ten ~ April 10, 2010

Just can't help it, my brain is still full of wonder and wonderful memories from recent vacation on Maui and Oahu, Hawaii!! The challenge of selecting only ten - oh my, not easy! So in no particular order, here is a sample collection of ten ... including family, friends, sunrise at Haleakala, lovers, whale, rainbow from Maui condo deck, Oahu camp site at Bellows Beach, returning ship and departing sub in North Channel of Pearl Harbor, and Maui sunset!!!

My Very First Ten on 10!!

OK...here goes! I have enjoyed the "posts" of many others who share 10 photos on the 10th day of the month - and this July 10th evening I'll post 10 from today. First, a little background - several years ago I acquired "Corky" from friend Mary Jo, a fellow Math Helping Corps colleague - and for some unexplainable reason, this little critter has enjoyed sharing many of my experiences. A few years later, imaginative friends, Bev and Trina (also teachers), created twins, Corky Jr. and Chablis; along with a "story" about Corky and a Mrs. Corky (aka Jewelee) and the twins being in the custody of paternal Grandmother Merlot. Anyway - this week, Bev and Trina abandoned the twins here after their Tahuya visit ... so of course, Corky has stepped up and will care for them during part of their summer. Below are some highlights from their day...

Crab season not yet open,

croaking sounds at night...
