Thinking of my nieces who left yesterday to go back home... What a wonderful time the cousins had together over the past month playing. We sure will miss them!

May the 4th! Celebrating nearly 22 years of Lego Star Wars, and nearly 44 years of Star Wars! We collected and, of course, rebuilt all of our old minifigures for this moc. Some are from the original series, with the yellow heads and everything. Star Wars will live on forever! Sorry about the picture quality. ;)

A scan of one of my dad's Kodachrome slides. He took hundreds of slides documenting everyday life from the 1950s to the early 2000s.

It's funny how we copy our parents behavior from an early

age. My dad also used to keep his hands in his pockets

quite often when just standing around.

If you know what kind of car that is in the center,

please leave a comment. It looks like a Checker to me.

Also, the newer car to the right of that... looks like a 1964 or 1965

Ford or Dodge but I can't tell for sure. Any guesses are welcome!

By the way... here's a photo I took with my little Kodak Instamatic 104

camera at this same birthday party just minutes before my dad took the

one above www.flickr.com/photos/wavz13/5644158119/

It must have been lovely to swing under this huge tree.

This old tree has a rope attached. If you're brave you can climb the tree and swing from the rope, plunging into the Potomac River. The water is deep and not swift. Here is Cade getting ready to jump in. Montgomery County, MD.

I can't believe this. Someone - presumably the National "Park" "Service" cut down these two old trees. They used to support a rope that was perfect for swinging into the deep water. Montgomery County, MD.

All that remains of the old rope-swing spot. Someone (the National Park Service, I presume) cut down the old trees that had been leaning over the Potomac River. Montgomery County, MD.

Ian by the Potomac River. The old tree has two ropes begging folks to swing into the water, but we didn't have time. Montgomery County, MD.

While exploring an abandoned house I found this old rope swing in the backyard with all it's memories locked away. I feel a responsibility to honor the secrets of a place like this, hopefully with practice I will learn how.
