My sister and I got together and we spent roughly 19 hours (38 man hours) to accomplish this: They're addicting to make. lol! They're called Polish stars (google for video instructions). We got much better and faster as we figured out what worked best for each of us.

Today I took a tour of a historic factory building in my village that has just been sold. This is the wall mural I painted for their retail shop (factory outlet) when I was about 16 -- it's a scene of the monument we have for a famous Revolutionary War battle. Happy to see it still standing. :) This post was edited by party_music50 on Sat, Nov 15, 14 at 22:11

On our trip to France in 2000, we only spent one morning and one afternoon and evening in Paris. We met my wife's cousin and my wife's grandmother and went to the grandmother's place near Versailles. So our only view of the Eiffel Tower on that trip was this view from her cousin's apartment. Later in that trip after Normandy and Calais, we returned to Paris to continue on to Sicily. We saw a number of sights, but didn't make it to the Eiffel Tower then either.

More pictures from our local park. This large estate was willed to the Township by a resident that did well. The township has designated Mother Nature as the principle caretaker. I think the Township and Mom Nature are doing a good job. The last pic is of me enjoying my surroundings to the max!
