So here I am, at my desk, doing our TAXES, for heaven's sake! Yeah, it's that time of year. But I'd really rather be here: On the balcony of our stateroom, on the cruise ship, to Hawaii. With my nose in a good book, and a nice glass of wine. Just relaxing and watching and …
International Women’s Day, NOT celebrated here

Every Picture Tells a Story
Each element of this picture tells a bit of my story. From the sign on the left of this shelf, you can see that this is above my desk at work. People who come over know at a glance that I am available to help them with their issue. To the right of that sign …
Who ARE these people?
I found this picture this morning, of Democrat 2020 presidential hopefuls. Just look at these potential candidates. What impressed me about this picture is the expressions on the faces of all four.

Faces in a Crowd…of Accordions!
Notice all the faces in this group of accordion players getting ready for the big Accordion Parade down the main street of Leavenworth, Washington. All ages, both sexes, no two alike. I'll bet you could not tell that the man at the right with his back to you and the LIAC t-shirt is blind. Yes, …
It’s A Miracle!
It's a miracle of modern technology and medicine. See the picture below. This is me. I now look like this all day while I'm awake. Please notice that I am not wearing glasses. For the first time in 63 years, I can see the world without Coke-bottle glasses, and that's a miracle in my book. …

Take a Guided Tour, Through my Beautiful Pacific Northwest
I think I live in the most beautiful part of the USA, the Pacific Northwest. Within one or two hours' drive, you can be at the ocean, the lake, the mountains, or the desert. Let's start right close to my home, in Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle. This is Silver Lake, about a half-mile …

Photo Challenge……Beloved
I was reminded again this afternoon of how beloved our little cat is in our household. She needed to have some teeth removed, so I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon (and she meowed plaintively all the way), and picked her back up this afternoon. The vet said she was a "model patient" and …
