Christmas 2.0

Merry Christmas!

A few years ago someone introduced me to the art of Bonsai.  Wanting to give this gardening technique a try, I purchases several small bonsai plants.  It wasn't long before they were gone - dead - defunct!  I was deflated.  However, I had purchased several intro to bonsai type books at Half Price Books so I continued to study the matter.  And eventually I discovered that not all bonsai has to be small exotic plants; that one can create interesting plants simply by pruning and reshaping common household plants.  I have had much more luck - and much more fun - with this simplified and less precise method.  These are some plants I've been playing with this summer.

Adventure, Love and Danger

After reading a reference to the movie The Princess Bride in the John Ortberg book I am studying, I decided to check the movie out.  I had never watched it before and was surprised it goes back to 1987.  My kids were 10 and 15 at that time so maybe they watched it without me.  Anyway, I was able to find it at our library so popped it in last night and sat down to enjoy.  And enjoy, I did!  What a fun movie!!  Make yourself a bowl of popcorn and escape into a story of adventure,  love, and danger in The Princess Bride!

Trying out Smilebox

I'm trying a 14-day trial of Smilebox so am experimenting with it a bit.  These are some photos from a day trip to Rochester Minnesota with our daughter.  (I think there is sound with this slideshow.)
