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

When it looks like this, I love snow!! Reminds me of the years I lived in Montana!!


Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.

Our World -- Winter at the Harbor

Still major blogging problems, so forgive the format???  These were taken several years ago in January in Seattle at my favorite place -- the harbor that was only a short drive from the house . I hope you enjoy a look back!!

I find myself reading this quote frequently these days!!!

Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.--Helen Keller

The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose.

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.
