Welcome to “My Quality time”…. Linda and I recently
did a little camping/hiking in the Hocking Hills area
of Ohio. We love our T&B ( Little Guy ) camping trailer
For a little wandering music…
With all the rain we have had there was a little
extra water going over the falls.
Top photo the lower falls at Old Mans cave. This photo is
of the falls at Ash Cave.
the Hocking Hills of Ohio.
Oh long and dark the stairs I trod,
with stumbling feet to find my God,
Gaining a foothold bit by bit
Then slipping back and losing it.
There came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby,
Down to the lowest step my fall
As if I had not climbed at all.
And as I lay despairing there,
there came a footfall on the stairs
And 'lo' when hope had ceased to be
My God came down the stairs to me.
At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is Great Smoky Mountains National Park's highest point. It is the highest point in Tennessee, and the second highest point east of the Mississippi. Only North Carolina's Mt. Mitchell (6,684 feet) rises higher. READ MORE
Linda and I were at the summit of Clingmans Dome on Easter 2015. A group of Christian Chinese from Atlanta sang “Glory To God” in Chinese on this beautiful day. (so says the ranger))
A big “Shout Out” to everyone from Joe Todd & Linda from the Summit of Clingmans Dome. ( Linda is so beautiful I try to keep her in the shadows so she doesn’t “steal the show” LOL)
Have a great day…..
Take the Quality time Dementia test below and see how you do……

Have a great day…..,
Creation out of nothing. I often say that origami is as close as you can get to that. It's a piece of paper. Beyond that, you don't need anything else. — Joseph Wu
Linda and I recently visited the Franklin Park Conservatory (SUMMER 2016) . We would like to share with you one of their exhibits.
“I place an ordinary piece of square origami paper before me. What do I see? At one level I see no more than a piece of paper, a thin compression of plant fibres. But what else do I see? I see the square of paper twisting and turning itself until the semblance of a bird emerges from the paper to stand before me. And then the bird dissolves again and I am left with my original sheet of paper, now seemingly imprinted with crease lines which form a curious geometrical pattern. Is the bird or its form still residing there in the paper? Was it there before the paper took the shape of the bird? Did it exist as a Platonic Idea? Or do these ideas exist only in my own mind? But surely I did not invent the mathematical patterns. Where did they come from if not from God?” READ MORE
“Have you heard the one about the origami enthusiast who folded and wore a cowboy outfit - an origami stetson, origami shirt and waistcoat, origami pistols, plus origami trousers and boots?
He was arrested for rustling!!”
“So, once more, I look at the plain square of paper in front of me. And I find that it is no longer a mere piece of paper. I find that it has is a magic casement through which I can gaze at enchanted landscapes and pass to worlds of a higher experience and spirituality.” David Lister on the British Origami society website
Would an origami display be a Paper-view Event? (Charles Esseltine)
On a personal note I would like to mention about the only thing I can fold is a paper airplane.. Back in the “day” I even got a detention for it….
……………………………………………………………….
That’s all for now, We are moving on to the butterfly exhibit..
We will show you more in another post but, don’t hold your breath… I’ve been practicing “procrastination” LOL
