Our World

Time to share Our Worlds once more!! I have to admit that our world here in Oregon has been WET recently!!  But, of course, that is one reason that it is always green and beautiful here, too!! And we do pay for our green beauty with LOTS of rain!!
Of course, just now as I type those words, I glance out the window over my desk and there are some blue skies peeking out from behind those, big, old gray clouds!!  So, I’ll just tell Nature, Thanks for the beauty and remember to take my rain coat when I go out the door!!
Enjoy your skies and have a wonderful week!!!
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.
-- David Seabury
Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
-- Margaret B. Runbeck
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.
-- Margaret Fuller

One Quiet Moment


"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."
-   Elizabeth Lawrence

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.
