Sky Watch Friday




Time for Sky Watch and a chance to share the beauty of our skies!!!  And I do hope that most of you have some beautiful skies – as most of you have read my whining about our lousy, wet weather and gray, grumpy skies and I’m certain you don’t want to hear any more!! I don’t blame you!! So, I won’t whine today and just show you some of the beauty that we have most of the time – just NOT NOW!!!
I do hope your new year has had a great start and that you are ready to enjoy a lovely weekend!!

Ah! I do hope so!!!

Our World!!

Welcome to Our World!!  But here in the northwest for the past several weeks we have had nothing but rain, rain and more rain!!  I couldn’t bring myself to take pictures of everything around me that is SOAKED and WET!!!  So, today I’m sharing one of my favorite trees in Seattle, which you have seen before, but I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! They do have a different “appearance”  with each season, but today spics are winter views, but I still find them beautiful!! I hope you enjoy!! Have a great new week and ENJOY!!




Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.
-- David Seabury

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
-- Louis E. Boone
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
-- Foster C. Mcclellan

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.
