Think, think, think. You won't "flunk" if you can't pick just one...and NO, I am not a teacher as someone referenced in an earlier post when they didn't like what I had to say. Far from it! You certainly may say what you were doing there but it is not a requirement since I am guessing I might get a few more graphic specifics than intended from some posters !

Some memories too graphic for here. Hope they were never caught by the COVE CAM. Second would be....Flying over the North Pole years ago with a full moon in the sky. Dead of winter. Awesome. And no cameras could catch it. Truly a mental Kodak moment.

When we arrived there by small boat, I thought, if I die now, I have seen the most beautiful place on this earth.

So few people on the planet have been there that you either wouldn't believe me, or you would immediately know who I am. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt, The Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918

On summer afternoons, I'll bring a book to Lanes Cove and will probably read about 2 pages an hour because I can't stop looking at the beautiful views there. "I swing big, with everything I've got.

That first look into my children's eyes. Corny but I just can't hep it. Humor prevents a hardening of the attitudes

Spent the weekend on the backside of the beach on my boat. walking the shoreline at night with fosphorus in the water like kicking sparks...was truly an awesome moment.

We were standing on his back deck last summer, overlooking the woods and fields, and there were THOUSANDS of fireflies doing a truly magical dance. I've never seen anything like it, and I loved it. It as like being invited to a private showing of nature in action, doing what it does best ... My choice for nearer to home would be sitting on the steps overlooking Plum Cove Beach watching the sun set ... Last Edited By: MissDimples 04/21/08 03:59 PM. Edited 1 times.

We have that too, in our back yard.. My little girl says it's like fireworks, just for her!! I think the Mountain View, from my back yard is truly magnificent... I also think the Backshore is too... As are the Shells on Sanibel

It's not about the place as much as about the quality of the day and the company you share.... IMHO. True art is moral: it seeks to edify life, not to debase it, to hold off, at least for a little while, the twilight of the gods and of us. - John Gardner The Old Mermaid's Tale: The Video \| In Memory of Mark S.
