One Quiet Moment


Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Rabindranath Tagore

A Brief Visit to the Beach -- in Autumn!! Ah! Sorry Header Problems


In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.
       - Aristotle



Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
       - Frank Lloyd Wright

My turtle friends always remind me of Frank Lloyd Wrights quote!!

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.
