That's My World!

That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Join us and share your world with others from all over Our World! Just click on the post title, read the rules, sign up and play with us! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for?  A blogging friend of mine and I spent several hours on Saturday looking for some sun -- we didn't find it! Here are some samples of what we did find and a few of what we had hoped to find!

I'll probably be a little late visiting your blog today as I'm going to check out what may be my new home here in Seattle! More about that later!
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.

Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

    I think the gray weather made for a couple of very effective photos. We are sharing in your damp and cloudy weather here in California, I'm glad I made the most of the sunshine while it lasted.

    Your photos are fabulous as ever. And I chose this quote: "I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless." ;)
    Have a very happy week.

    I've seen the Agatha Christie quote before and I love it. Her books might not be great literature but she could certainly weave a plot.
    Beautiful pictures, Sylvia, especially the last one. Gorgeous!

    A nonchalant attitude on aging is the best way to keep young. I agree that no matter what age, we should not stop learning. Beautiful captures!

    Truly beautiful photos-- the "gray" ones have an air of mystique about them, as does the first one. Great quotes, as usual.

    I haven't stopped learing or wanting to learn more - a good sign ;)
    I have even started to learn Hungarian and that is NOT an easy language :)
    You pick important wise words Sylvia!
