Sky Watch Friday!!


Time once again to share the lovely and colorful Autumn -- or in some parts of the world, Spring skies!!!
I do hope all of you are having a great, colorful week as we slip into the new season wherever you are!! Our Fall here in Portland has been warmer than usual and with blue skies longer than usual, but I’m not complaining and I do love this time of year – well, I particularly love it now that I don’t have to “go back to school”!!
Thank you, as always, for joining us and sharing the beauty of your skies!!
Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.
Elizabeth Lawrence

October is a symphony of permanence and change.

One Quiet Moment


Where there is love there is no darkness.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
