I'm hoping PPO will lay more eggs in that pot this year so there will be more babies to watch. The camera is down now but this will get you to the siet where you can read about them and see pictures. Type in Pot Plant Owl and go to the Africam site. Underneath the heading click on 'More on PPO' That takes you to the links, blog, Facebook, etc. I feel like a godmother to them.

I looked up Broken Dishes quilt block. I compared it to the windmill pattern and they look the same. Sometimes it is frustrating when a pattern has more than one name. One time I was in a restaurant bathroom and noticed an interesting tile pattern on the floor. My husband thought something was wrong because I was taking so long in the bath room. He laughed when I told him I was drawing the tile pattern that is on the floor. Suellen Here is a link that might be useful: Broken dishes pattern

I was sitting in a waiting room and saw most of the show. It was very interesting. One item that I did object to was the emphasis on preparing every high school student for college. One school in particular - the Aspire public school - has as it's goal that every graduate will attend college. While that is a noble ideal college is certainly not for everyone. I've seen first hand the unfair pressure that can be put on a child who simply isn't interested, qualified or destined for a college degree. I believe that one of the problems with our school system is the fact that many of the non-academic programs have been dropped. Instead of stating that college is the goal for every student I think schools should prepare students for a future that's suited to their particular talents and interests and that could be technical training, trade school, apprentice programs, military careers etc. It was wonderful to see how enthused Bill Gates is about his educational initiatives and his willingness to utilize his fortune to achieve that goal.

No cable and no subscriptions for us, other than Amazon Prime, which we get because we already have Prime. In our living rooms, we have Samsung TVs and get Samsung channels in addition to the hundreds of local channels (of which we only watch about 40) we get through the air via antenna. I am not averse to turning the TV on during the day, and there are certain afternoon shows that I like to watch from time to time, including Selling Houses with Amanda Lamb on DABL (I think). I think Amanda Lamb is an extremely obnoxious person and a horrible designer, but I like to watch her because she is so bad. I love it when her clients refuse to take her bad advice (generally regarding hideous wallpaper that she tries to force on them) and feel sorry for them when they allow her to steamroll over them. I used to watch CBS This Morning years ago, but it's really gone downhill - ever since they booted Charlie Rose, and now I can only stand to watch the first 20 minutes of it - after that it is a lot of fluff and way too much time wasted on commercials. On occasion, I will watch Perry Mason at 9 AM while I am waiting for the effects of my morning BP medication to mellow out. I would love to watch German and Italian shows, but we don't get any of those. I probably watch Youtube more than I do TV. In the afternoon, we often watch To Tell The Truth at 5 PM with Gary Moore as host, and Kitty Carlyle and Peggy Cass as permanent panel members. Unfortunately, the panel usually also includes Bill Cullen, who is extremely incompetent at asking questions of the guests. On weeknights, Just Shoot Me reruns come on after TTTT, and we usually watch that also. I can sort of watch these shows while I am making dinner. We get quite a few British "Home" shows on Samsung channels, and I watch some of those in the evening. Sometimes we watch Dateline or Unsolved Mysteries in the evening, but we generally do not watch movies except on weekends.
