America the Beautiful

A neighbor of mine sent me the link to this lovely ecard at JacquieLawson.com. (and I'm sure she sent it from someone else who sent it to someone else who sent it to someone else....)

Watch the slideshow as pairs of state flowers are shown, then all come together in a beautiful bouquet at the end. (too bad the country isn't really like that)

What Board Game are You?

You Are Scrabble

You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily. You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you. You're the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful. You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong - even when they won't admit it.

Yeah, I'm hardscrabble.

Keep On Truckin'

I bought a rug like this in the early 70's and still have it.

I've kept on truckin' ever since.

Used to keep it in front of the door, to keep the people who kept on truckin' keep from trackin'.

Good Grief, looking at that recipe made my mouth water like one of Pavlov's dogs.

From the Word of the Day

sidereal \sy-DEER-ee-uhl\, adjective: measured or determined by the daily motion of the stars; of or having to do with the stars or constellations

I knew this word, have known it for a long, long time thanks to a youthful fascination with sci-fi that lasted until a few years ago. I gave all my books to my nephews and have more to give away as I keep finding them tucked away in various spots.

I used to think I wanted to be an astronomer until I found out how much math was needed.
