Sky Watch Friday!!!

Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy and I. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit! Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week!  http://skyley.blogspot.com/
 Hope your holiday week is going well! Make the most of every day, laugh, love and enjoy!!
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this:  To rise above the little things.  John Burroughs

We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.  Edith Lovejoy Pierce

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.  A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.     Bill Vaughan

You do seem to be able to get a lot of golden skies - hope you can still see them after your move.

Looking forward to posts in 2013.

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.
