Ooooo the first one is awesome, and of course I love the ducks. Hope you have a terrific weekend Sylvia.

This is one week that I loved all of your quotations...especially Anne. It brought back memories of my visit to her house. I do not think I will ever forget that. Your second shot has to be my favorite. It is calling me to come and go swimming in the frigid waters. Hope they warm up a bit by August. We are about to book our tickets. genie

Oh that top shot is a stunner Sylvia, perfect pairing with the Ann Frank quote. I hope all is well with yourself and your family and that you have a wonderful weekend.

Isaac Asimov has always been one of my favourite authors, and these words are as correct now as when he wrote them.

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.
