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!
Our unbelievably beautiful weather continues! Not very dramatic skies, but such a wonderful way to begin to wind down 2012!
 My skies for today are some of the dramatic ones from earlier this year!  I'm sure next years will be just as glorious!!
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Unknown

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.   Oscar Wilde.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.  Lao Tzu

 "It's impossible" said pride. "It's risky" said experience. "It's
 pointless" said reason. "Give it a try" whispered the heart.   Anonymous

Looking Cool!!!!

The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.
Thomas Paine
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.   Helen Keller.
People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved, and people are being used.

As we wait for Fall to arrive in Seattle, I've been looking back over the past year from the magnificent Space Needle to our beautiful spring, the lengthy summer and the breathless beauty of our sunsets and Mt. Rainier -- regardless of the season! Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful week!!

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.
  Henry David Thoreau

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.
