A few photos

The town hall tower with the astronomical clock on it in afternoon light. Notice the lit-up chandeliers in the windows on the second floor.

Our Czech tutor with the kids. We finished up with her last week, so we'd have more unscheduled time for our last few weeks in Prague. We like her.

Lillian in front of some of the cool buildings in Old Town Square. I love the blue one, although I think the golden yellow ones are my favorite. The astronomical clock is behind me; Lillian is facing it. Roughly.

The gate and tower on the west end of Charles Bridge, from a distance and just the top of it. It was a beautiful day and we love to see the blue sky.

At this very moment, I can hear Mira just outside my bedroom door. She is playing a very imaginative game, singing made-up songs and such, and she just performed a marriage. It's not very often that she plays so well by herself. I love it, and her songs are very entertaining.

    Cool. PS- I like the new look of your blog. Bright and clean. The Poop brown color before was not my favorite. haha

    Glad to have feedback about the looks of the blog. That is not my strong point! I'm just using Blogger templates, but I might try messing around with this new one. It's a dynamic one -- readers can change the way it formats by clicking something up on the left somewhere. (I'm pointing at it, but you can't see me!)

    Is there a way to get your response to my comment emailed to me or something? I don't usually go back to see if you commented on my comment and it's lame when I miss them. Figure it out! (That's supposed to be like the way mom says, Fix it...which she got from some Saturday Night Live skit, but it always cracks me up and I now use it on Daniel all the time. FIX IT!)

    Ivy, is there a link on the bottom right that says "Subscribe by email"? Maybe try that. I don't know what it does, but it sounds like it might be the way.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

What a fun book to read. We read this for book club and then watched the movie (which wasn't necessary since we've all seen it so many times we were quoting the whole thing). It is better to know from the beginning that Goldman wrote it all, there is no S. Morgenstern. You feel less duped. I thought it was really obvious that Goldman is the true author (his humor is the same throughout, there's no way the language is from the era Goldman claims it is from), but, I do remember thinking it really was an abridgment when I read it in high school or junior high. And a lot of the ladies at book club didn't know the whole thing is fake either. Some decided they didn't like the book just because they felt deceived by the author. It is so funny though. And you get all this background information about Inigo, Fezzik and Buttercup. I love the way he tries to place the book in time... "This was before Europe," then later he talks about Paris. Also, when he describes...

Arrested Development, Season One (2003)

By -
I really enjoyed this and even started to feel a little addicted to it by the end. I like watching TV shows on DVD—it’s great to have no commercials and to be able to watch as many episodes as you want. Although this can also be detrimental if you watch six or eight episodes and find it’s 1:00 am when you finally force yourself to stop. Anyway, “Arrested Development” is very funny. All of the characters are hilarious and well-acted, and one of them rides a Segue! Shouldn’t more people be making fun of Segues? I’m looking forward to seeing the second season, but I don’t know if we can bring ourselves to buy it. We like to leach off of other people for our DVD needs, especially when it comes to TV shows.

No shortage

Two things we don't seem to have a shortage of in our area at the moment. Orange juice (at Winco in Idaho Falls): I was really taken aback by the wall of orange juice options. And grateful! The other thing we're not currently lacking is baby chickens (15 baby hens about a week or two old, in our front yard):
