One Quiet Moment



Life isn't finding shelter n the storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain. -Sherrilyn Kenyon

DID YOU KNOW ????



Those who were born in the 30's to the 60's are the last generations who played in the street. During our childhood we "walked" over a mile a day when we played & played "hide & seek" outside at night with no worries or fear of anything bad happening to us.

We are the first generation who played video games and the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape. We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we were the first to play from Atari to Nintendo.We are the generation of Tom & Jerry, Looney Toons, & Captain Kangaroo. We traveled in cars without seat belts or air bags, lived without cell phones and caller ID. We did not have fax machines, flat screens, surround sound, I pods, Facebook, Twitter, computers or the internet, and through it all we had a great time.

One Quiet Moment

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. ~Rachel Carson

Dancing in the Park

There were parents dancing with their kids and having as much fun as everyone else – including those of us who were just watching!
And there were refreshments as well!!  What a fun afternoon!
Of course the sunset skies pretty much stole the show!!

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.
