    Beautiful skies!
    That first sky is of unique beauty, looks as if the clouds were having a dance.

    Happy Sky Watch,

    If being insincere is exhausting then I know some politicians that should be prostrate ... and, in fact, I hope they are. AS for your higness(another great header) ... you are so gorgeous. I empathize with you having to go through everything. Moving is soooo hard physically and emotionally. I sure wish you the best. Keep smiling ... you make the rest of us smile so you should be able to as well :)

    Such beautiful swirly skies -- I see one of your readers is worried about missing your Washington sky after you move. I have every confidence that Portland will give you much heavenly beauty too!! The quote from Thoreau above is absolutely appropriate for all the beauty you see and share with us.

    Hi Sylvia, I have not been updated to what's happening, but your header looks very pretty, and can't help but ask myself, where is she moving to?

    Geez, I sure am going to miss your beautiful skies!

    Whatever its going to be, wherever it takes you, I wish you well and happiness!

    Hi there - nice picture.

    I see that this is Sandy's last SWF as a host - I'd throw my hat in the ring - but (there is always a but) - I'm just about flat out with WBW!

    Hope you find another co-host.
