Mohan Chutani Date: 4/13/2015 10:06:00 AM how very true, Sandra. instead of 'Clocks' 'people' also makes a nice reading. Congrats on fine win. Mohan Login to Reply Sandra Haight Date: 4/15/2015 7:40:00 AM Yes, Mohan...people/clocks - kind of together as one! Seems we are always watching that clock and times goes by too fast.

Debbie Guzzi Date: 4/9/2015 7:35:00 PM Time doesn't stop but would we want it to?

That visual intrigues me! Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Sandra
