A L O H A From Honolulu!
I'll lift you and you lift me,
and we'll both ascend together.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Every second is of infinite value.
Goethe
Weary limbs a throne of tin
King uncrowned pride within
He rules this realm of thirst relief
Oasis of summer's brief reprieve.
The city hums a tireless beat
But here it's break time
Moment of peace
Wrinkled hands burdens borne.
Private smile, well spent morn.
Cloudia Charters
In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria.
Benjamin Franklin
To be endowed with
a generous mind,
this is the best
kind of nobility.
Plato

ReplyDeleteSorry to be so late visiting. Both my arthritis and my lupus flared up last night.
ReplyDeleteI really like the three ladies dressed alike. What a great photo. Pixie looked good on the rug, too. I really, really enjoyed the man with the various drinks, and I loved the Rainbow. Thanks for sharing these with us, as well as the drink reference, for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
