These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

  2. Wow, 67 on Thursday! An advance happy birthday to you! Hats off to you, who has caught up with technology at your age.

    Gold and Silver are both good colors. I especially like Black and Gold and Silver and Black!

    That is a great quote from Sandra Bullock.

  3. This was fun reading, even though I knew most of the answers already. I love the quote you used and I love the movie Hope Floats. It always makes me cry especially when her ex husband comes for the funeral and the little girl is crying as he drives away.

  8. I'm definitely a gold and silver together girl! Comes from being told not to mix them when young. A bit like never wearing black/brown/navy mix. Nowadays I do what I fancy.
