One Quiet Moment




Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Sky Watch!!





Happy Thursday and welcome to this weeks Sky Watch!!!  I had to do some searching for photos taken at other times because, as I’ve whined about day after day, it’s still GRAY and WET!!! Pouring rain this morning!! I usually post Sky Watch the night before, and I was hoping maybe there would be skies worth getting some good shots of, but there aren’t any of those, so back to earlier days!! And I added some humor for the day!! That always helps -- even in bad weather!!
I hope all of you have a wonderful day and a great weekend!!  Stay warm and dry and ENJOY!!!

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.
