The view from the pavilion.

The island in the view.

Me hooping.

And Einstein’s birthday as well!

Albert Einstein was born in 1879 on today’s date! Here are some of my favorite Einstein quotes.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Information is not knowledge.

~ Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955

Well, after much debate I found a new (to me) car.

Here is my 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon!

I had been looking at a variety of wagons. I was considering a newer Volvo when I unexpectedly stumbled upon this baby blue beauty!

I was about to take out a loan and end up with a newer car and car payment.

Then it happened! I saw this beautiful piece of machinery. I happened to notice it from the road, and although it belonged to the dealership owner’s wife, I managed to convince her to sell it.

I am looking forward to many years of wonderful wagon tales!

Well, she was a good car…

On, February 6, 2008 I accidentally rear ended another driver when they stopped unexpectedly . I tried to swerve to avoid the accident but was not successful. No one was injured thankfully! However, the angle at which the cars hit caused the frame to bend and my little car is now the property of my insurance company. As you can see in the picture above, it does not look like too much damage. But I guess, looks can be deceiving.

Well it’s finally done. I did not realize that I would be making a trapezoid shaped blanket but as we have learned it has worked out for the best! It’s great for having 2 people snuggling on a couch.

As you can see below, the trapezoid blanket has been well received by everyone in our house!
