    Love all the clocks! And that is quite a staggering difference. 😲 According to Forbes, there are 3428 billionaires worldwide. Here’s hoping they use some of that vast wealth for good. Thanks for hosting the WW linkup, Sandee. Wishing you a beautiful day! 🤗

  10. Betty – Hello, I am Betty, the author of this blog, and this is my husband, Dan. I retired on 6/30/2018, and Dan retired about a year later, on 5/31/2019. Now that we are both retired, we plan to travel most often in our 23FBKS Micro Lite travel trailer. We also hope to travel other ways occasionally, such as taking a cruise, a roadtrip, perhaps a tour someday. In addition to travel, we like to walk, ride bikes, read, and play Scrabble. I love to write. This blog chronicles our travels in retirement. My purpose in writing this blog is: 1) to offer insight for those who may be making similar trips/adventures in the future 2) to share our adventures with family and friends who care to read and 3) to capture the memories for us. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. I hope it is uplifting, gives you a few smiles and maybe an idea or two. Comments are very much appreciated, and I will respond to all. Thank you for reading, and Happy Travels!

    I think we often don’t realize the incredible difference between a million and a billion and a trillion (which would be 31,709 years).

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Even more mind boggling. Thanks for adding to this. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂

    That is a great bit of information and comparison that I did not know. It is amazing how time is also our wealth. I love the photo, superb.
    Happy Wordless Wednesday, dear friend.
    Much love, hugs, and peace to you!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

    I’m going to come down on the side of the apostle Paul when he wrote, in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” I am perfectly okay with not being a billionaire. Have a blessed week.

      Hubby and I have a saying. If you don’t have enough money you worry about money. If you have lots of money you worry about money. We are comfortable and don’t worry about money. I’m with you. 🙂

    I did not know this about seconds ! It amde me think about money–thedifference between a million dollars and a billion dollars! Just think of all the good things in the world that a billion dollars could do.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

      I hear you. Something to ponder. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Pat. Thanks for linking up. 🙂

    Debra @ Life Captured says:

    Amazingly, your image of all those clocks made me think of my grandma’s cuckoo clock! I remember the little red bird coming out on the hour to cuckoo 🙂
    Thank you for the memory, priceless! I shared 45 and 46.
    All the best.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      My mother had one of those clocks. I remember waiting for that bird come out too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂

    CatSynth says:

    I am fascinated by mechanical clocks and their gears!
    And quite a perspective to keep in mind. Another way to look at it: a billionaire is 1000x richer than a millionaire, while a millionaire is at best only 50x richer than the poverty line in the US.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Well said. Love your take on this. Thank you. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂

  18. CAAC says:

    Interesting comparison! Being a millionaire would be awesome, but can you imagine being a billionaire? That’s just unbelievable the difference. My brain really can’t wrap around that kind of money. Although, I’d certainly like to try. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I’m happy where we are now and wouldn’t want others in my business if I were a millionaire. Love and hugs, Cathy. 🙂

  22. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Wow, amazing picture and the stats are brilliant!!! MOL Thank mew so much for adding our links, Sandee, mew are EPIC!! We hope mew have a pawesome weekend! 😻🐾😻🐾😻
