So sorry for not being in touch!! My Dad had open-heart surgery - been practically living at the hospital!!! I'll be back in touch soon!!!!! I miss you!!!

Victorious the hero returns from the wars, His brow bound with laurels that never will fade,
While streams the free standard of stripes and of stars,
Whose field in the battle the foeman dismayed.
When the Mexican hosts in their fury came on,
Like a tower of strength in his might he arose,
Where danger most threatened his banner was borne,
Waving hope to his friends and despair to his foes!

The soldier of honor and liberty hail!
His deeds in the temple of Fame are enrolled;
His precepts, like flower-seeds sown by the gale,
Take root in the hearts of the valiant and bold.
The warrior's escutcheon his foes seek to blot,
But vain is the effort of partisan bands--
For freemen will render full justice to SCOTT,
And welcome him home with their hearts in their hands.

Deep wisdom to my new friend: Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
by Mother Teresa

Howdy, Wayne. We're friends now so remember the words of Uncle Ben to Peter Parker, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Thank you.

Wayne,
Am still having problems weaving my way thru this TBD....thought that I had sent you a comment, but do not see...so will just send another...thank you for your comment on my poem...it is in the silence that the voice speaks to me...and these days there is not much silence in my head or in my heart...so the words do not some easily...

Yes, I am looking forward to school. I am considering minoring in Geography - if I have the time. There are so many great classes I would love to take that aren't in my major and really wouldn't count toward anything. I love to learn!

Thank you for the invite! Always happy to meet another lab lover!

Yes, honesty, curiousity and creativity are all high on my list... your phots are very nice.. I dont have a very good camera right now so mostly take pics of me and the kids. Thanks for offering your friendship to me.......... take care, GG

Your pictures of the river are great!! We are blessed to live in the NW. C :)

I am definitely a people watcher and an observer. I find it fascinating to see the shells that people encase themselves with on a day to day basis and to watch them juggle the hats they wear. I'm twice divorced with a significant relationship interspersed and since and have found little integrity and a shakiness of character that, to this day, amazes me. I gave it my all both times and left when it was clear that my interventions and aspirations were not bringing anything to the relationships.

I learnt the hard way that it is sometimes better to let love walk out the door. Everyone has lessons to learn and who am I to stop it?

I hope one day to find someone who can just love me for who I am. Shouldn't be so hard but the expectations people have are huge stumbling blocks.

Hey Wayne, how are you? what are you up to???

That would be great Wayne, just let me know before you fly this way!!!
