I thought this was fun.


This "church" is actually an art installation in Belgium called "Reading Between the Lines."


From one perspective, it looks like this:





But if you move about a bit, it looks like this:

On Saturday it was the Finals for summer swimming. 25+ pools from most of Montreal sent the top qualifying swimmers.  My niece was in the first race and we were all pretty nervous.  The girl who she beat by a hair in the winter finals was swimming against her (and that girl had a qualifying time that was much better than anything my niece had swam this season).  It was a very exciting race and they both touched at the same time. So we had no idea who won.

It turns out my niece won with her best time by far 17.28 (for 25 meters). The other girl swam 17.45.  My nieces best time this year had been 17.88.  She was so happy when she saw the results.

Her relay also came in first. So it was a really good day even though it was rainy and drizzling for much of the meet.

Some DRs were discussing the Little House on the Prairie book series not too long ago.


This article indicates that a gritty, unexpurgated autobiography by Laura Ingalls Wilder will be released this fall:

Oh, dear, it seems that I missed the DR Vixmom birthday festivities. This is what happens when I don't get on the computer during weekends!!

. This just makes the celebration that much longer.  Thank you!

[vixmom]

DR Vixmom, better late then never!!!

. Thank you. I love it

In other news, I am thinking that making this birthday cake might take a bit of extra effort:

. I bet that cute cake is surprisingly easy to make

As we drove on the Ohio Turnpike this morning (and last Thursday) we passed the exit for a lovely town called

.

I tried to take a picture of the exit on the highway but it didn't turn out. We didn't stop in Elmore, we just drove past the exit. Here is evidence that Ohio loves Larry Moore so much that they named a town after him!!!

Thanks DR Vixmom!

The house across the street from where Annette is pulling out is still there - that big ol' fireplace still as prominent.  And you can see a tiny part of the house she bought for her daughter.

.  For second there I thought I was reading a script from theBBC  Vicious


Shouldn't that say Born 1851, instead of Founded?

And you are still older and meaner than I, bitch! I thought I'd shot you at Ford's Theatre in 1865.  Your performance stank in "Our American Cousin!"

Good afternoon. I hiked a different mountain this morning. It was a glorious morning. Cool (under 90 F), and humid. The mountain got some rain last night.

. Love the new quote!

Monday evening greetings!  My sister and I have had a full day visiting ancestors' graves and doing other family history research.  I took her for a birthday lunch to Moonlight BBQ.  Yes, DR John G, I tried the mutton.  Didn't care for it, but there were lots of other things on the buffet that I did like.  The cole slaw was my favorite side.

Ah, well. I'm you found something you liked. The next time I head home, I'm going there.

[John G.]

Thanks for the vibes everyone.  It's a long process.  I'm feeling good about it. Life will be different.  For example, they are formulating rules for judges using social media.  The new proposed rule is if you identify yourself as a judge you have to add a disclaimer to whatever you say that you are expressing your own opinion and not the opinion of the judiciary or something like that.

And more vibes, Cillaliz.

Too much effort and I'm too old.

I myself am inclined toward the "dump cake" recipes: dump all the ingredients into one pan, stir, and bake.     

Dump cakes -- the bane of the existence of a food writer. Where is the fun in describing how to make that?

[John G.]

Follow up appointment to see doctor about my knee and shoulder.

Wednesday the results from the biopsy.

I want to go back to work.

Vibes for the best results.

[John G.]

Did anyone address the TOD?

Well, here goes: Winken, Blinken and Nod.

Depends what the ingredients are that you dump in

There's a local art/music/restaurant that is about to go under.  The food is bad the place has too much art, it's very cluttered, and the music space isn't the greatest . Neat room, just not set up well.  Anyway one of the owners' daughters applied to restaurant impossible and they have made it through 4 of the 6 levels of the process to be accepted.  Am very curious to see if they are accepted.  I would love to meet Robert Irvine.  I love him

Irvine came to San Antonio to help a Cajun restaurant that I really liked. It helped them for a couple of years, but the place eventually closed because the owners just weren't the businesspeople they needed to be. I didn't hear about the taping until after it was done, but they spoke well of Irvine. So did Luca the other day.

[John G.]

ChasSmith, I got your letter today. Now if I could only get the books I ordered.

[TCB]

There is also an Elmore Minnesota

Probably even older than the other one.

Finished with my viewing - couldn't even doze off on the couch.  Yikes.

There will be a major rant in the notes based on what I watched this evening.  Be afraid, be very afraid.

He seems to have a really big heart and even if the restaurants don't turn around, he gives them a good shot at it and he seems to really be sincere about it.
