On Lovin' Norman

I've fallen in love

with Norman.

You will too.

The second stop motion

3-D film ever made was released Friday.
(Coraline was the first.)

ParaNorman is true 3-D, which means the effect

was created with cameras and not computers.

The Summer Olympics have ended,

but in honor of it—and the opening of this

wonderfully entertaining movie

—here's a short video clip.

ENJOY!

After The Rain

A near perfect rendition of country life, a

gift to those of us who set foot outside last evening.

The rains came and went, leaving behind cool

breezes and a sky filled with purple fluff;

and a few sharks, porpoises, and one

humongous bloated starfish. 

Meese Hice

An entertaining bit from the

local newspaper.

Grizzly

This is "Grizzly," my sister and brother-in-law's Newfoundland.

I dog-sat him while they did errands earlier today. He is about two and

a half times the size of my granddaughter, who's foot can be seen in 

the photo. We wanted to show you how big Grizzly actually is.

As you can see, Grizz is far from typical, especially with

his new haircut: sheared body, spiked head, and bushy "end."

He's quite the conversation piece, don't you think?
