So many white houses! I.m not really sure why and I didn't even try to find out but I thought it was quite interesting. When we were in the East I noticed that house after house was white. I'm not sure why but perhaps it's a vestigious habit from the 1800s.

Just pictures (mostly). No time to write and/or think. Be forewarned . My last post was so long I thought I would quit before an epic novel was written. Not that any of it was made up--more like a coffee table book--oversized. Jered at the sing. His sister Bethany behind him. Before the sing began. (I think Will is tying his shoe--or something) Jennie H. and Joann B. at the conference Jan B, Phil and Pam B. Abby and JoAnne (Another three year old) Hannah Willy and Wally Some of the young people More Cottage Pictures: The path to the girls' dock More of the path to the girls' dock. (It was a long way from the cottage.) The girls' dock (to the right of the cottage) The back porch--where we spent our time on rainy days at the cottage. Three of Gordon and Pearl's guests of the past: More beautiful colors of the Eastern Fall Outside the rest home where Jan's father lives

Flying use to be fun. In the past I looked forward to getting on the airplane and enjoying the experience. Not anymore. The seats are too small and your neighbors are too close: front, back and sideways. If you want something to eat you either have to bring your own food or buy it from the airlines. For eight dollars. For a just warmed up sandwich. Non- alcoholic beverages are free. If you take advantage of that you end up using the washroom three times in a 5 hour flight. (Ask me.) Now all you want is for the flight to be over. Especially if you travel with someone who has never liked flying...even in the glory days...and just endures the five hour torture chamber and who chalks up the experience as another test in the pathway and knows he will be a better man for it in the end. I guess I could go first class. Hummm . Novel thought. Too bad even economy class costs so much. Enough of my complaining. They said we missed the real show. I say the show we saw was spectacular. We passe...

When SAJ blogged about madelines a while back I had to google it to see what she was talking about. I still don't know what it was that she was referring to but I came across this. Now this is some kind of espresso stand! I could use one of these. Maybe I can get one of my four kids to convert their VW's into something like this .
