Wire Bridge in winter

I did it! Last night, I was inspired by the photography at the Orcutt gallery and today, I went to the Wire Bridge to take my own photos. I love the Wire Bridge and have been 3 times with friends/family. This time, I went by myself and just soaked it in and took photos. There wasn't lots of fluffy snow sitting on the wires like the Orcutt photos, but they didn't have gorgeous blue skies and big white puffy clouds in their photos, either. And they had to have Photoshopped out the warning signs that are plastered on the bridge. But that's okay. I will be back. Thank you Maine for preserving this wonderful piece of history and cool architecture.

Goldilocks' 3rd Birthday

Once upon a time, there was a very special young lady who had a very cool and creative mom and a talented dad. The little girl was named K-Locks and she was going to have a birthday. K-Locks Mommy wanted to have a very special birthday party for her. Since Mommy knew K-Locks loved the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, she decided to invite the bears to the birthday party along with all of K-Locks' friends. Mommy knew the bears loved porridge (she read it in a very special book that K-Locks loves to read) so she made some porridge. But it wasn't just any porridge, it was very yummy porridge and she served it with everything delicious that bears love to eat and things that can make porridge magical: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, raisins, nuts, brown sugar, milk, orange slices, and grapes (and more).

When K-LOcks' friends came to the party, they wanted to help the bears feel very welcome, so they all decorated some magic ears in order to look more like the bears.



After eating their delicious breakfast, they each had the chance to build their own little bears. That way they could take their memories of their new friends with them.

There was singing (of bear songs) and dancing (of bear dances) and lots of fun.

And of course, there was cake (in a special bear-cake shape made by K-Locks' daddy) . . . and ice cream.

Happy birthday, K-Locks!!

Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party!
