Being there

January 5, 2017

Christmas arrived at our house today.  An envelope from Glenn post marked Rarotonga, Cook Islands. In it, a chip from his camera. Thanks to modern technology (and snail mail) here are a few photos.

  1. Nice needlework, MaryLou! Nothing like a cozy neck warmer on a blustery day. Looks like those miles to Hawaii are clicking by!

  2. Is that a set of encyclopedia behind Glenn?

    • MaryLou Wakefield says

      Thanks Gayle. It’s actually the secret bar. The books are just a distraction, to make you think he reads encyclopedias for fun. The fun is actually behind the books. A lovely single malt held carefully in a beautiful crystal decanter. I’ll post a photo of it.

    Wow- love the video!

    Thanks for the amazingly descriptive blogs and now photos Glenn and MaryLou.

  6. Alan Campbell says

    Great photos! But the video won’t play the sound, just the scenes. Which by the way are pretty darn impressive anyway…

    • MaryLou Wakefield says

      Turn up the volume on your computer and the volume bar on YouTube and play it again Alan. Let me know if that works.

    FANTASTIC photos and the video reminds me to ” watch the horizon, just watch the horizon ” . Thank you so much for sharing.
