    Its so easy when you have the Sound out your door! When I lived on Whidbey Is. & Anacortes after, I wish I had digital cameras to capture the area. 26 years ago.... Time to go back up for a visit.

    Benjamin Franklin was a wise and wonderful man. If we all ever get time machines (what's the holdup anyhow?!), he's one person I'd like to meet.

    Beautiful views and thoughts here and wonderful Spring views from your world in your previous posts too. Thanks for making them available in your feeds allowing me to catch up more quickly today. One of these days 'real life' just might slow down enough to permit me to visit in a more timely manner.
    Hugs and blessings,
