Good Afternoon @Former-Member , @Appleblossom , @Clawde , @Historylover , @Sophia1 , @TAB , @MDT , @Eve7 , @Emelia8 , @Anastasia
and all others who may visit this thread and enjoy what is offered.
@Former-Member, That is a really special and interesting photo. I can imagine that it would have been really lovely to watch the unfolding of the clouds with the moon over the ocean.
@Appleblossom, My mother's family is from New Zealand. Grandmother came from NZ to Boulder {now Kalgoorlie-Boulder} with her husband, in early 1900s. What a contrast?? Rose petals {this was to remind me of rose petals, but I like it just the way it is.}
@Historylover, It's often the darker roses, like the dark red tea rose, that you described, that I enjoy. Interestingly, the rose, with that fantastic aroma which is at the front door of Residential, to which I refered in an earlier post, is a dark red colour.
@Clawde, So very pleased that you are enjoying this thread, the "Hangar". I can, very much understand the feeling of wanting to pack bags to go off for an adventure.
@TAB, Planes are relatively expensive to purchase, but it costs a lot, for mechanical and structural maintence and updating avionics {the gauges and flight information equipment}, to keep them flying. However, as distinct from cars and road transport, there is a huge range in purpose and purchase price, from quite inexpensive to mega-$Ms.
In relation to brickies labouring, the personal physical break-in is really hard, but I was before and never have been since, as fit as I was during that time. Who'd need a gym if you have that?
@Anastasia, I am so very pleased {that may be an understatement} that this thread has drawn as much interest as has been shown by many people. I have the feeling that it is a place where people can simply be themselves and also enjoy what is offered and received by and from each of the other self-included members, in their own way. I can honestly say that I am delighted!!
@Oaktree, I am still somewhat confused or bewildered about how we can have any sort of party, even more so, a fabulous and elegant party, in a digital environment?? I guess my digital education must have been seriously limited, since I still remain confused. However, as the saying goes, "Never too late to learn". In any case, I am certain that I will enjoy whatever is presented.
@Eve7, We interact, from time to time, on other threads and your observations are often supportive and generous. You also bring descriptions of your environment into your posts and comments, that are really enjoyable.
@Emelia8, As I view and sometimes interact on other threads, I always enjoy the way that you present ideas, in general and when offering suggestions and guidance for others, of which I have also been the recipient, Thank You.
@Sophia1, We have had discussions and enjoyed each others comments and observations. Thank you for the interactions that you and I have had. I know that we have very different styles of writing and that possibly enhances our interest and enjoyment of each others contributions.
@MDT, we have had some serious discussions. It is my most sincere hope that what I offer from my perspective is or will be of benefit for you. Sometimes, I can see aspects of myself in what you write about yourself, and even what you don't write {reading between the lines}. I do hope, that any comparison with myself, does not raise significant concerns for you.😃 However, whatever I contribute is intended and offered with my most sincere good wishes for you in the present and the future.
Thank You All for your activity on this thread. It is really a pleasure for me, as I hope it is also for each of you, to read the comments about your interests, thoughts, feelings and even aspirations, whether those may simply be dreams, or something specific, to which we can look forward with positive anticipation.
With My Very Best Wishes
{of which, as said elsewhere, there is an inexhaustible supply}
