A Bit About Me

Judy A: Bennington, Nebraska, United States; Bennington, a small town in eastern Nebraska, is our new home. We moved in mid-November to be close to our family, all living within thirty minutes of us. After twenty-two years in Estes Park, our big mountain house and property had become too difficult to manage at our ages. Our new home is much smaller, on one level, and in a lovely neighborhood.

Mottos Worth Remembering

* Don't say you can't ..... because you might can"

(spoken by my wise six year old granddaughter to her big brother)

* Keep Calm and Carry On

* Never be Caught Bookless

* Seize the Moment

* Time for Tea

Books

"Books are keys to wisdom's treasure;
Books are gates to lands of pleasure;
Books are paths that upward lead;
Books are friends. Come, let us read"
Emilie Poulsson

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

Cloud Journal

My dad was a meterologist and he sparked my interest in all things weather. Ever since I was a little girl I've especially loved clouds. In the summertime, my sister and I used to lie on our backs in the cool grass finding shapes and pictures in the clouds and telling stories about the images we saw before they disappeared or changed into something else. I've been photographing clouds to make a cloud journal. Here are a few and I'll add to this journal from time to time.
