Our World!!


Time for Our World again!! This is a wonderful way to find, see and enjoy the beauty, the fun, the good and even the not so good things about our world today and to share them!! Hope you will join us!!  We're having lots of rain here in Portland and no promise of sunshine soon, so I'll share some autumn shots from Seattle! Hope you enjoy!  Just a reminder, my new email address is sylvia.kirkwood5@gmail.com
Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees. ~Faith Baldwin

The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest. ~Rabindranath Tagore,

Of all the seasons, autumn offers the most to man and requires the least of him.  Hal Borland

One Quiet Moment

Where there is love there is life.  Mahatma Gandhi

Happy Sunday!!!

Have a very Happy Sunday!!!
And  for a giggle and/or a belly laugh, how about this one!!

1. WOMAN'S PRAYER

BEFORE I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP, 
I PRAY FOR A MAN, WHO'S NOT A CREEP,
ONE WHO'S HANDSOME, SMART AND STRONG.
ONE WHO LIKES TO LISTEN LONG.
ONE WHO THINKS BEFORE HE SPEAKS.
I PRAY HE'S GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.
WHEN I SPEND HIS CASH,  WON'T BE ANNOYED.
PULLS OUT MY CHAIR AND OPENS MY DOOR,
MASSAGES MY BACK AND BEGS TO DO MORE.
       OH! SEND ME A MAN WHO MAKES LOVE TO MY MIND.
KNOWS WHAT TO ANSWER TO "HOW BIG IS MY BEHIND?"
I PRAY THAT THIS MAN WILL LOVE ME TO NO END,
AND ALWAYS BE MY VERY BEST FRIEND.

2.    MAN'S PRAYER

I PRAY FOR A DEAF-MUTE NYMPHOMANIAC WITH
LARGE BREASTS  WHO OWNS A LIQUOR STORE AND
A GOLF COURSE.

THIS DOESN'T RHYME AND I DON'T GIVE A "4 LETTER WORD".

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.
