More pictures from Scarborough

Jon, Mira, and Seth on the longest railway bench in the world.

Zed and Mira above the beach at Scarborough. You can see the castle up on the hill on the left. (Sorry it's kind of dark.)

Traditional English beach activity: donkey rides.

Zed trying (and failing) to cheer up Mira, who was mad because we didn't immediately pay for her to ride a donkey up and down the beach. (Probably should have caved on that one.)

Sort of smiling against her will.

Seth drawing in the sand. (I would include Mira's sand drawings, too, but her sand people were all angry.)

Everybody except me. I like how Lillian is in the background, framed by the boys, gazing into the distance.

Mira, not mad anymore.

View of the coast from an archway in the castle walls.

Ruined castle tower and castle in the background.

Looking down from just below the castle to the church where Anne Brontë is buried.

Walking up a hill.

The end!

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):
