Your quotes are very good today, Sylvia. I especially like the Einstein quot this morning.

I do like how you tied these gorgeous shots of nature doing what it does best with the wisdom that guides it. . .in this case, I think SPRING! Such beauty.

Its so easy when you have the Sound out your door! When I lived on Whidbey Is. & Anacortes after, I wish I had digital cameras to capture the area. 26 years ago.... Time to go back up for a visit.

Benjamin Franklin was a wise and wonderful man. If we all ever get time machines (what's the holdup anyhow?!), he's one person I'd like to meet.

Beautiful views and thoughts here and wonderful Spring views from your world in your previous posts too. Thanks for making them available in your feeds allowing me to catch up more quickly today. One of these days 'real life' just might slow down enough to permit me to visit in a more timely manner.
Hugs and blessings,

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
