Snapshots from the Compost Pile

National Roller Skate Championships

I thought I should take off any photos remaining on The Camera That Died before it goes to its endless rest in the drawer with all the other dead cameras.  (Why do we have so many?  Why do cameras keep dying on us?  Why do we keep them?)

I found some more pics from the National Roller Skating Championships:

 Love those costumes!

And now you can watch my camera start to die.....

Weekly Round Up

This week I....

.... stopped by Crete to see what will be Grandma Rose's new digs.

.... had a tea party with Arwen and my Goddaughter Isabel.

.... followed by the Disney Princess Game:

... ate lunch with Auntie M. at a hip little cafe and then....

... enjoyed the ethereal art of Elin Noble at the Hillestad Gallery on UNL's East Campus.

Fun at the Fair: Ending with Animals

Here are some animal photos to round off this week at the fair.  The fair continues on Saturday, although by Sunday afternoon a lot of the exhibits are gone.

My (very literal-minded) husband concluded that anyone who could get into the box would thereby win a massage.  And would probably need one.... it's a pretty small box!

Fun at the Fair: Cupcakes!

I was impressed by the creativity and whimsy of the cupcake-decorating competition.

Fun at the Fair: Yarn Braiding and Cool Furniture

I am posting this here so I can remember it.  I think a larger version, with beads intertwined, could make a cool necklace.

And while I don't need one of these, I think it is a cool way to re-imagine a magazine holder.
