Full Moon - Wednesday, April 28, 2010
“American Indians gave names to each of the full moons to keep track of the passing year. The names are associated with the entire month until the next full moon occurs. Since a lunar month averages 29 days, the dates of the moons change from year to year. Here are titles most closely associated with calendar months” - Western Washington University.

OUT WEST
Out West on the Southern Plains, Apache’s refer to the April moon as “Moon of the Big Leaves,” according to Western Washington University; no Apache translation is given.
BACK EAST
Back East the Abenaki (Northeast Maine) name for the April moon is “Sogalikas” or “Sugar Maker Moon.”
*FYI - In the mid-90s, when I was traveling around the southwest in a motor home, I happened to meet the great, great-grandson of the great, great, Apache leader Geronimo He was selling stones and trinkets from a hogan in the Arizona desert. I still have his phone number, I think. BC

Claire Voyant’s post on Charo and Pamela Anderson - Dancing with the Stars
This article was reposted from LVOL.com’s Claire Voyant
“Maybe Charo’s coaching of Pamela Anderson on Dancing With the Stars last week, was of help to the former Baywatch star, and The Beauty of Magic co-star with Hans Klok at Planet Hollywood. Ms. Anderson was much improved during Monday night’s competition, and survived to dance another dance next week. Stay tuned.”
