Finding these on the beach at Wintler Park yesterday, I concluded that many of them are unusual and were worth a photo. I wonder what stories they would have to tell IF only they could talk?
I am a lurker at Teachersnet and post occasionally as mcb. I did the midlife career change to teaching and went back to the hospital after 5 years. Looking back, I should never have taught in my town.
But anyways, the pictures of the driftwood are cool, reminds me of a lake in Nova Scotia in the middle of no where that we used to go driftwood scavenging. Your pictures make me want to go take a walk on the beach!
Thanks for visiting my blog. . . I hadn't been down to the river for a long time. I love having a digital camera and using the photos in this way. To think how much prints would have cost me without my digital friend!
I finally figured out that if I clicked on your photo, it would take me to your blog! What a pleasant surprise! NOW, I am inspired to jazz up my blog. . . first thing is to figure how you got such a neat header. . . haven't located the directions for that yet but I am looking. I am also going to add my photo . . . that of my twin and I, at 5 years of age, that is!
Paulie, When I was a teacher, I made a great web site with all kinds of links and pages which I loved doing. The template is all css which is in Dreamweaver. But you can work on the template through the edit option on Blogger and don't worry, they tell you to back up your template before starting!
The best site for help and ideas was Blogu and I have the link on my page. Have fun!
You should check out the Thursday 13, it's a fun way of seeing other blogs. Jen
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

Thanks for stopping by and being an inspiration.
