Sky Watch Friday

Time for another look at our wonderful skies and share them with others here on Sky Watch!! Here in the northwest we’ve had some glorious skies – well, up until yesterday when the northwest took over and returned our beautiful blue skies to GRAY and GRIM!! But if we can believe the weatherman  -- Ha, Ha!!  The sun will be returning by the end of the week and the temps will be in the 90s!!! Then I can whine about the weather being too hot!!!  But for today, here are some of the varieties we’ve enjoyed!!  Have a wonderful day and weekend!!

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.— Henry Ward Beecher

One Quiet Moment

Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your teacher.
~William Wordsworth

A Quick, Fun Visit to the Park and Some Words of Wisdom for the Day!

Had a quick trip to Seattle and was able to briefly visit one of my favorite places!!!  Remember the turtles and the flamingos!! They are as fun as ever!! Hope you are all enjoying the new week!!
Wise words, but I think I would have said, “I wish that I had done that”, but what do I know???

One Quiet Moment

In separateness lies the world's true misery. In compassion lies the world's true strength
Buddha


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.
