Australia

Went to see the movie, "Australia" with my daughter and her friend over the Thanksgiving holidays. Great movie - lots of history and romance. I recommend this movie to everyone. The aborginal actors were great. My Mother was born in Australia and met my Father during WWII when my Father was stationed there off the coast of Queensland. After seeing the movie and doing some further research on line in regards to the bombing of Darwin - I was so surprised that Japan did so much damage - I remember my Mother talking about WWII and what the Japanese did to Australia but, of course, I was younger and did not understand the magnitude of the bombing. Australia has always been a friend to the United States and rightfully so.

Well - its the third week of August...

and the days are getting shorter. I love this August weather and I am not looking forward to Fall - except for the high school football games. Our first game is tomorrow night - and my daughter is drum major for Canfield Band. I think I am more excited then she is. We play Chardon, a team we have never played before. Also, next week I have two band shows to attend, one of which is the area bands performing at the Canfield Fair, and the Canfield Band Night - when we get to see a number of area bands perform their half-time shows at their football games. Also with Fall around the corner, there is the wonderful cider and donuts at the local Whitehouse and Haas Fruit Farms.

Snow Days

I got bored and added another Youtube video from our library. I also added three pictures of the Sebring Library and a slideshow of cat pictures. Spring is getting close and I know everyone is sick of this heavy snow and sleet. I can wait to get outside and smell the roses.
