Our World


Welcome to Our World where we can  -- and do share the good and the bad!!  Oregon at this time of year is all too frequently very gray, grim, wet and --more than likely, colder than we would like!!! And that’s when I head to my photos from better times!!!  Hope you enjoy!!


There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
-- Sophia Loren

    What a fine quote to start out the day! Bill and I joke that we have gotten so good at life that it's a shame it took us so long to know what we know!

    Who knew Sophia Loren was so brilliant a thinker? Her quote is a bright spot on any gray day!

    Sophia Loren knew what she was talking about Sylvia, she had tapped in for sure :)

    Beautiful, but I discovered that my body and my mind don't really match.
    Have a wonderful week.

    Photographs are time-less Sylvia and I think we all head for our pool of pics when the weather prevents us from getting out-and-about with our cameras. I love the quote by Sophia Loren .... she certainly knows all about ageless.
