Our World

Time to visit our worlds again!!
I have and do enjoy seeing all of our beautiful worlds every week and sharing the fun and the beauty that we are so blessed to have!! I do hope that each of you feel the same way and that you do share with us today!!
Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.

Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.
Faith Baldwin

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte
Autumn's the mellow time.

One Quiet Moment


Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

A Nightmare in Oregon

Sometimes I guess we all wonder – when does the violence, horror and death end???

We just had a mass killing in a college town not far from Portland – Medford, Oregon. Ten students killed and the killer was shot as well.

Today I only want to ask all of you to hold good thoughts for the parents who are suffering such a great loss.

Thank you.

One Quiet Moment

Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

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.
