Today is my first attempt at a blog. I hope to share thoughts, plans, dreams, ideas with others who share the same interests. I would like very much to learn from and be inspired by others who are more creative than I am.

My blog is named after a song I wrote at least 15 years ago (and copyrighted). When I wrote it, I was working, living in a city, and longing to return to my valley between the mountains:



"Going home, going home,

Someday I'm going home

To the green rolling valley

I once left behind

Where the air's crisp and cool

and the people are kind

And it doesn't take money to

have peace of mind. . . ."

Now I am settled in this little town surrounded by mountain ridges. To me, it is the perfect place to live.
