Relief …

“So none of that happened ?”, asked K.

It is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. ~Proverbs 31:4-5

Return To The Chair Tie Back ..

I don’t think I’ll ever look at another wedding the same way.

Now I notice all the details – the tie backs on the chairs, the flowers and the service from the waiters.

I was odd being back at a wedding – I’m so glad we did it the way we did…

It used to be simple,

My end of he sofa and the Wifi worked – K’s end didn’t.

The Ghosts of World War II’s Past …

An amazing idea and some amazing pictures.

“Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.”

Candlesticks …

We weren’t heading for this place but we stumbled on it, and the blacksmith, and ended up buying a set of handmade candlesticks.

I love county fairs.

Festivals…

There’s something going wrong with the local festival scene.

The kite festival a few months back suffered from no wind and the balloon festival this weekend can’t get anything off he ground due to the weather.

Whatever happened to the summers when August was hot and the carnival was always on a sunny day ?
