{Edward Bok Quote}

Last year on May 6, while visiting the Bok Tower in Lake Wales, Florida, we did buy some nice things at the gift shop.


Make you the world 
A bit better
Or more beautiful
Because you have 
lived in it.

Edward W. Bok

    And oh my goodness yes...Katie loves fresh laundry!

  11. Liebe Mariette,
    ein sehr schöner und weiser Spruch.
    Ich denke ein jeder selbst kann einiges tun das wenigstens "seine" Welt besser ist.
    Heute ist hier vorläufig der letzte Tag um die 30° Grad. Ich bin gar nicht böse wenn es endlich kühler wird. Ich wünsche dir eine tolle und schöne Woche.

    Grüessli
    Julia
