Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-- William Wordsworth



The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
-- Elbert Hubbard



You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
-- Author Unknown



Woman are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
-- Oscar Wilde



We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing.
-- George Bernard Shaw



We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
-- Phyllis Diller

Ahhh - springtime in the Pac NW! There's nothing like it. I love that last sky photo of the wispy clouds, and I always love the great quotes you find to go along with your beautiful photos.

Brilliant photos, Sylvia! And the quotes are great too. I like:"We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing". One of our Dutch Psychologists wrote a book on this subject, called"Homo Ludens", meaning:"The playing Human".We play all the time, planning for instance a sudden invasion of many relatives, which would never happen of course.

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.
