Hi Casey, I was about to comment that I was afraid that your puzzle would snow me under ... but some of the others would be really difficult, as well. Sue and I parted well over 40 years ago (she died just over ten years ago) ... but I remember that when we'd do a jigsaw puzzle together ... she'd find the right place for about nine pieces ... while I was finding it for about one. ole joyfuelled ... who can be anything else, at this time of year? Except folks who've suffered recent pain or loss.

In that case here are a few more pictures of the interior. I so enjoy seeing the grand cathedrals of Europe when I'm there, that I'm surprised that it took as long as it did to see this one that just a couple of hours away. We went to DC to see a cousin who was singing with a Bulgarian Folk Music Trio and the place the cousin was just a few blocks from the Cathedral. The cathedral seems a pretty faithful homage to classical gothic architecture, but here and there are whimsical touches showing its more recent completion date. For instance this stained glass depicts space exploration, and the dot in the center of the window is actually a tiny moon rock. The fact that it is so recent makes some of the craftsmanship all the more impressive (at least to me) And a couple of outside shots: Apparently one gargolye is shaped like the title-creature from the movie Alien, another carving is shaped like Darth Vader's head.

It was a treat for grandson, as we had cruised Alaska and he had his first on the ship. Nothing to compare to the ship's, but it was made with his grandmother's love :-)

I was going to share a picture of Boyz 2 men, they played last night at our party, but unfortunately the pictures are terrible. It was entertaining.
