Archival Footage

My cousin Jenny has been going through old photos and home movies recently, and found this one that her dad filmed at my parent's wedding reception (the music is a song that some of their friends sang at the wedding).

My cousins are the all the kids running around, waving, and making faces. I love seeing them, and all the aunts, uncles, and grandparents too. I've seen many still pictures from my parent's wedding day, but it was so fun to see this video.

Thank you Jenny, for putting it together and letting me share!

Frühlingskonzert

In case you don't already know, I am a member of the German Chorus Harmonie. Come to our Spring Concert next week, and you'll get to see me in a dirndl! If I finish sewing it on time, that is. Click on the flyer for a larger image and all the details.

Saw this rug on Overstock.com a few days ago, and then again today. I just love it. It reminds me of some of Alexander Calder's work (with a different colour scheme of course). I have long loved Calder's work. He is more famous for his mobiles and stabiles than for anything else, but I love it all.

woah horsie!

Yes, I know I never blog anymore, but I just had to post this AMAZING rocking "horse" I saw on Etsy today.
It will cost you $2000.00, plus a few hundred more for shipping, but boy oh boy is it cool!

wow, this makes me feel old

Giving Up My iPod for a Walkman


I used to have a bright yellow, waterproof "Walkman Sport" that I was so proud of and loved so much! I wonder if it is still in storage anywhere? I still have all my tapes, it might be kind of fun to pull out the walkman and listen to them.

oops!

I hit the wrong button and Good Reads has just sent an email to every address that has ever appeared in my gmail account! Most of you are probably already one of my goodreads buddies, so I apologize for the spam. If you aren't one of my goodreads friends yet, please join in the fun!
