Round Robin Photo Challenge

The challenge for today is "By the Water"

These fellas are surfing the waves at Robert Moses State Park on Long Island. I hope they get a chance to go to California or Australia to really surf the waves.

I love Robert Moses Park but I'm not a surfer. The water is cold and clean and stimulating even in July! Just so you know it's the Atlantic Ocean.


Thanks Carly and Karen for giving us so much fun!

SOOC Sunday

Flowers outside the John Adams house in Quincy, MA

Hey Jan, here's my post for SOOC Sunday

Weekend Mailbox

Gemma, I'm finding other things to post beside mailboxes and I know that's okay for me to do. As I've told you Americans, at least here in Queens, have no imagination with mailboxes...

So here are some stamps from the Cayman Islands.



We swam and snorkeled in Stingray City some years ago. It was thrilling!

Go visit Gemma - Grayscale Territory to visit other participants

Five and Ten...Again

Erika of endomental tagged me for this meme:

INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Turn on your MP3 player/iPod.
(2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode.
(3) Write down the first TEN songs that come up--song title and artist--NO editing/cheating, please (even if letting the world know you listen to crap like "Weekend in New England" will humiliate you).
(4) Choose FIVE people to be tagged. It is generally considered to be in good taste to tag the person who tagged you, since there should be new songs appearing with Shuffle every time.

Here are my 10 songs from my iPod Nano:

I Wish You Love - Rod Stewart
Am I the Only One - Marc Anthony
Love Is All - Marc Anthony
Reflections - Michael McDonald
How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You - Michael McDonald
Dimelo - Marc Anthony
I Can't Stand the Rain - The Commitments
My Baby You - Marc Athony
I Like It - Enrique Iglasias
Water Song/Jamie's Got A Gun - Aerosmith/Pump

INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Turn on your MP3 player/iPod.
(2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode.
(3) Write down the first TEN songs that come up--song title and artist--NO editing/cheating, please (even if letting the world know you listen to crap like "Weekend in New England" will humiliate you).
(4) Choose FIVE people to be tagged. It is generally considered to be in good taste to tag the person who tagged you, since there should be new songs appearing with Shuffle every time.

I TAG:
Erika
Travis (Miss you terribly, Travis, look for your meme here for Friday)
Jamie
Mo
Eyad
YOU!

My World Tuesday

This is probably the only place to tie up your horse in all of Whitestone, Queens, NY.

Postcard Friendship Friday

Beth is the host of Postcard Friendship Friday.

We visited the Cayman Islands back in 1996. I saved some stamps from there as you can see. Notice Santa fishing on the top group of stamps. I think we went to the islands in January...

We stayed in a hotel on Seven Mile Beach pictured in the bottom group of stamps. It was a lovely place.
