horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our
hearts.

 We had lovely skies on Wednesday and it was such fun to be able to get some captures from the roof of the complex! And then there was the sunset!! Not sure what the weekend will be, but it looks promising and I'm excited! Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend with lots of beautiful skies!  

 Blogger was playing with me this evening, consequently you're getting the sunset first??? And I'm still having problems commenting on Word Press???? Wish these guys would get their act together!!

Our weather is really crappy, but spring is on the way in spite of that -- trees are blooming, budding out and there are patches of color scattered everywhere! Hope to get some beautiful skies soon to go with the colors!  Enjoy your weekend!!

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.
