::::::::::::::::James Geddy Foundry Layout:::::::

Rachel surprised us by wanting to linger for the longest time at the foundry. She was mesmerized by the molten pewter being poured in the mold and quickly hardening to become a spoon. She was fascinated by the ability of the man to bend the spoon shortly after hardening, then he would throw it back in to remelt. We finally had to coax her out so we could see other places.

::::::::::::::::::::::Y'all Might Want to Take This Quiz:::::

I particularly enjoyed this quiz because it asked the question about the word "pin" and "Pen". Michael hears a distinction and often makes me repeat what I asked for because he knows I use the words interchangeably. It drives him a bit batty. I suppose it explains why I call so many things "who hahs" now. Serves him right for making me enunciate!

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
 

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

:::::::::::::::::::::::Cool Informative New Site::::::

I was reading Jen Caputo's blog and the information on the new Digital Scrapbooking TV. She has two tutorials now, but will be adding more. Check it out if you get a chance.

Going to try to find a caterpillar description on line for one Rachel found on the mailbox.

Smiles!
