Well summer has arrived with a bang!! Clear blue skies, but it is HOT!! And of course, when you've only had temps in the low 70s for most of the summer, 90 seems like living on the side of hell!! Yes, I know we're wusses here in Seattle when it comes to hot weather!! Hope all of you have a beautiful week!!  And thanks to all of you for your wonderful birthday wishes!! Hot or not, it was a beautiful birthday!!!

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.
