Our World


Welcome to Our World!! Time to share the beauty of all of our worlds – the fun, the beauty, the seasons! And it is that exciting time to begin to celebrate Christmas, which is approaching  VERY quickly!!
I have found that the older I get the faster everything approaches – some of those I handle better than others, but Christmas is and has always been a fun time for me and my family – and now with my new grandson!!! Well, what else can I say?? I know you get the picture – even without photos!!
So, here are mine for the day from some good times and happy holidays!!  I hope you enjoy!!! Wishing you a great new week!!!
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis


One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. ~Andy Rooney


May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~Author Unknown

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month. ~Harlan Miller

One Quiet Moment


Sunny Sunday??? Well, Not in Portland, Oregon!!!



I want to  wish all of you a beautiful new week, but don’t wear yourselves out and leave no energy to celeb rate  once the big Day arrives – December 25!!!

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.
