Sky Watch

More beautiful, different weather for us here in Portland, Oregon!!  Not that we never have beautiful weather, but rarely this early and this HOT!!  They are predicting a couple of over 100 degree days for the weekend!!! Now that feels like Texas to me!!!  But it hasn’t happened yet, so we’ll see!! And, of course, clear skies may be nice, but let’s face it, they are kind of dull in comparison to clouds and colors we usually have! So, today’s sky is from a few weeks back and it was lovely!  Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!! Enjoy!!

Only from the heart can you touch the sky. ~Rumi

One Quiet Moment

We must be the change we wish to see

Another Look at the Fun Day in the Park!!


Before we left Seattle, we took a quick visit to the park to say hello to the ducks and we bumped into a neighborhood pig that we had seen there before!! He was with his owner who had taken off his leash, just like before!

And, just as before, he didn’t seem to mind posing for us!!



It was quiet and beautiful and we enjoyed our stroll!



Ah, and beautiful flowers, too!!



And we ended our visit to Seattle with a colorful, heavenly sunset!! Doesn’t get any better!! 
Hope you are all enjoying a great week!!!

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.
