Almost One Week in Bermuda

Elbow Beach - View from beach in front of Coco Reef Hotel . . .
Elbow Beach - south side of the island . . .
View from the patio of my room . . .
Palm Trees - One day without rain . . .
Saturday Morning - Raining during the morning and then the sun began to shine through the clouds
. . .

My favorite place on earth . . . BERMUDA . . . the bright color homes, buildings, and surroundings. It was a bit cold, several morning I wished I had my spring time gloves, but one thing remains constant it is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Bermuda Hospital Board requested education for their Human Resource Department for the HR application so I was sent to accomplish a week of training. I love the people of Bermuda! They are polite and everything smiles and says 'HELLO!'
I only took pictures from the patio of my hotel room and from walks on the beach so please enjoy . . . maybe someday you can experience and it will become your favorite place.

If I do return I will get some pictures of Hamilton with the stores and some of the homes in the many bright colors.

Jack Hanna at MS4 Vision User Conference 2008

Jack Hanna was impressed with our Elephant, Lion, and Giraffe asking if we were willing to donate them for his arts in the schools program. We were unable to talk Lorraine into making the donation. What a sad day that Janna's and my creations are kept in someones basement rather than educating children.

Janna Worwood creator of the elephant and myself creator of the lion and giraffe were given the opportunity to pose with Jack and the animals we created. What an exciting experience!

Janna jokes that Jack held me closer than he held her . . . while I return with that Jack gave her his personal email address and I did not get any email addresses.

Past Projects - Distant Past - 2005


Jim Soderberg - Tanielle Johnson - Alan Barton

I thought it might be of interest to show some of the projects I with other family and friends have accomplished through the years. It is always with fear and trepidation that I go into working on creating these items for fear that I have bitten off more than I can accomplish.
The first year I had the support, creativity, and hard works of my niece Tanielle to create two (2) parrots for my works user’s conference known as MS4 Vision Conference. Tanielle taught me a lot, giving me the courage to accept more opportunities/projects since that time which otherwise would be out of my comfort zone.
Jim
Soderberg and Alan Barton are over 6 feet tall and carried the parrots into the Auditorium for the opening ceremonies. As you can clearly tell that these are BIG BIRDS! And were they beautiful! Tanielle is standing with Jim, Alan, and the birds in one of the pictures. Thank you Tanielle for the many hours of work and for teaching me many creative ideas, the courage to say yes, and know that family will always be there to help you succeed. Create March and April 2005!
