In memory of my dear friend, Richard Volpe - he passed 12/19/1985....it was in the spring, when I first met him.....If it hadn't been for a wonderful66-year old man who lives in Delaware, I don't think it would have occurred tome to now and again, put up a memory about someone that was special to me, andno longer lives on this earth.I felt the blog was finished withthe great picture of my

In the words of Emerson: "We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of

I thought 'no more posts' on this 'blog', until my son called me today, and told me all about enjoying SELF RELIANT by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He said: "Hey, mom - I said to myself...I'm related to this guy..."Yes, that's true; we're fortunate to have a few of Emerson's letters - a few books, and photos that we all cherish.My son, Thomas, reminded me that Emerson was the firstAmerican author that

My husband served 20 years in the Marines - he did 2 tours of duty in Viet Nam. This is my husband; flying his plane - his 'buddies' gave it to him when he retired.Among the many medals my husbandreceived, I think he might be most proud of the Distinguished Flying CrossAward.Let me write part of the words used in the newspaper article that features his photo as he receives his award - standing

I simply had to visit Linda's web-site - I think you'll agree with me when you take a look at her recent works. She's done a drawing of Marilyn Monroe that is one of the most beautiful (I also have a small picture of her work further down on this web-site). She's also done several of

Hey, a post-script: Our security guard walks around at night; looking for noisy music - and other 'unpleasant things'.
