| We never stand taller than when we stoop down to help someone who has fallen. -- David L. Weatherford |
| Love is a curious thing. The more you give it away, the more it comes back to you. -- David L. Weatherford |
| Love communicated to another, does not say " Be what I want you to be
and make me happy". It says rather, "Be what you need to be and let me
help you". -- David L. Weatherford |

Celebrate the Beauty of the Season!!! Happy Easter!
There
is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are
simply not patient enough, quiet enough to pay attention to the story.

Taking the Dog for a Walk!! Keep This in Mind!!
First for the day, a bit of breathtaking color!!
My ninety-three year old buddy does find the fun stuff to share with me and then, of course, for me to share with you. Enjoy a chuckle for the morning!
A little girl asked her mother. "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
My ninety-three year old buddy does find the fun stuff to share with me and then, of course, for me to share with you. Enjoy a chuckle for the morning!
A little girl asked her mother. "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mom replies "No because she is in heat." Go ask your father I think he's in the garage."
So
the little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for
a walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in
heat, and to come see you."
Dad
said, "Bring Belle over here, honey." He took an old rag, soaked it
with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the
scent...and then said, "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash
and only go one time round the block."
The little girl left and returned a few minutes later, with no dog on the leash.
Surprised, Dad asked, "Where is Belle?"
The little girl said, "She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home.

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.
