There is an amazing 107 yer old woman in Broken Hill who has STARTED a blog, (with the aid of a friend) . She is an incredible insperation, and her life stories are fascinating - a rare chance to ask about history. I spend a lot of time with my beloved father, and encourage him to talk about his life - and to share it with my kids. Once they are gone, that history is gone too. The little stories, of less famous lives, matter too.
Anyway, get acquainted, and learn All About Olive.

With our thoughts…

…we make the world.
Wow, how unfair! I got tagged by Bruce at the Thinker’s Podium. Five favourite quotes, when I start each post with a quote already?
Oh, ok:)
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. (Carl Sagan)
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. (Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride)
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main - look, ALL of Meditation XVII(John Donne)
Time will tell, it always does. (Dr Who, seventh doctor).
If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?(William Wordsworth)
Honorable mention to any quotation from Monty Python.
