I didn't have my glasses on.... 
You may get to see some of the parks with snow on? Cool! I think it’s neat that you are taking the time to explore them all.

And realize that you gotta give to get – it’s all about dialogue and understanding the other persons interests – we need to relearn compromise. Have a great day!

I love seeing “all sides” instead of “both sides.” Rare is the case where there are only two sides, so … one bench is a good start. 🙂

What a gorgeous bench! I have this thing for benches. Don’t know why. It’s inexplicable. But when I go I think I’ll choose a bench instead of a headstone to mark my passing. Someplace to sit and look out over a field of flowers or a body of water, where the hiker might sit for a while, or the explorer might experience a bit of respite.

Most bears I’ve seen appear immune to the effects of karate so maybe it’s just as well.
