    Sylvia, your quotes and messages about dreams are inspiring. I love the sailboat photo and it truly causes me to dream of summers spent "messing about" in sailboats.

    Have a wonderful Easter weekend,
    Genie

    That's right, you gotta dream. In a week or so you will be moving into your new place.

    Thank you, Sylvia, for these uplifting photos and quotes about dreams. My 90-year-old mother is going through rehabilitation exercise with a dream she'll become able to walk like before, which makes my heart warm.

    I agree....dreams are necessary for life. Love your series today...specially the shot with the pink flamingos and the quote my WD.My father’s firm was one of the one who help with the design and supervision of WDW in Florida. We used to go there year after year and stayed at what was then known as the Golf Resort. The monorail stopped at the Polynesian Resort so we would walk or take a bus over to out rooms. On the way we would see the most BEAUTIFUL pink flamingos in the world. It was one of my favorite things about those “endurance test” visits with the 3 children. Thanks for a walk down memory lane today.

    I am back from France, a little homesick, not because of the French Riviera, it looked like Italy, but because of my Blogfriend and her family I had such a lovely stay !!
