Scavenger Hunt #3

This is a swap on Swap-Bot that I'm participating in that I thought looked fun. The goal is to take five photos (from a list of ten items) and give some information about them - where did I take it, is it part of a series of photos, or whatever other information that I think is interesting. 

Another option is to use old photos that I have taken. This latter option is what I chose to do. I always enjoy going through photos that I've taken and seeing if they bring me back to when I took them.

Purple

I took this photo on June 8, 2019, in Osceola, Wisconsin. The town has a committee that does floral or natural displays along the main and side streets as a way to beautify the community and drive throughout town. One of my favorite colors is purple, so this display caught my eye.

Diamonds

On June 18, 2017, Sophia (then 16 years old) completed this diamond quilt. This was, by far, her most ambitious quilt because of the cutting and layout she needed to do to create the diamond pattern. She was very happy with how it turned out.

Keyboard

I had totally forgotten about this "learn how to type" program that I had Sophia and Olivia do as part of homeschooling. Here, on April 23, 2013, Sophia is playing a game on computer using the keyboard to learn to type.

Wheels

On June 18, 2018, the propane company came out with a Bobcat to move our tank to a new location after we had a fire that burned down our hobby shed. The propane tank was about 15 feet - at the most - from it. Thankfully, our neighbor who was a retired firefighter saw the fire (we weren't home) and turned off the tank. Things could have been quite different had he not done that. 

Flags

On May 28, 2018, Memorial Day, I visited Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Someone had put a flag in front of my parents' gravestone - as they did in front of the gravestones in the entire section. I was so touched to think that someone took time out of their day to honor my dad who served in the Korean War. 

Shopping

On March 12, 2020, the shelves at Walmart were completely stripped of paper products - toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. Other sections of the store, likewise, were bare. It made shopping for the basics quite difficult.

Mountains

For Sophia's (homeschool) high school graduation, we took a trip to Washington (state) and Alaska. This is one of the many mountain ranges in Alaska. It was such a beautiful place to visit. We went there before she graduated since the costs increase substantially in the summer there. This was taken on April 27, 2019, on the way to Girdwood, Alaska.

Boots

Of course I could have used a photo showing a normal pair of boots, but why do that when these attractive blue plastic boots were documented on June 3, 2012? Sophia, Olivia, and Colton (their cousin) went to a dairy/creamery operation. Everyone had to wear these blue boots when they went into the creamery. 

Vintage

This was one of my favorite ornaments when I was a girl. When my parents died, my sister, brother, and I went through the ornaments and I picked this one. On December 8, 2013, the little red fawn with white fur trim was on our Christmas tree. 

Glass

By far, one of my favorite places we visited when we were in Seattle, Washington, was Chihuly Garden and Glass. The glasswork there - both inside and outside - was spectacular. I especially liked this boat scene with the glass orbs in and around the boat. The black floor reflected the boat and some of the orbs. I could have spent hours there looking at all the different colors and patterns of this on exhibit alone.

Thanksgiving Table and Food

Thanksgiving 2021 marked a year where we could gather. It was such a contrast to last year - 2020 - when COVID-19 and the pandemic affected getting together in large groups. It was so nice to be together again!

The day started out early - around 7 a.m. I took out the turkey and ham from the refrigerator, and began cutting the onions and celery for the dressing. I sauteed the onions and celery with butter and mushrooms. Seasoned it with dried herbs from our garden plus salt and pepper. The house took on the "Thanksgiving smell" at that point. 

I prepped the Brussels sprouts side dish and green beans with shallots. Next, I took out all of the silver and dishes that I wanted to use.

By this time, the girls were awake and started helping me. Olivia wanted to polish all of the silver. Sophia put in the whole cloves where I had scored the ham. After she was done, I poured a bunch of honey over the ham since the girls wanted a honey ham.

Sophia peeled 9 potatoes. We didn't do a lot this year because my brother and his family brought cheesy potatoes. What we didn't know at the time was that he brought a sheet that his school cafeteria uses. It barely fit in our oven! At any rate, as Sophia was peeling the potatoes, Danny (the dog) supervised.

Olivia polished the silver while Nessa (one of Sophia's roommates from college who was staying with us over the Thanksgiving weekend) ate breakfast. 

I had purchased a bouquet of flowers for the table and decorated the windows with windows stars earlier in the week.

By 1:30 p.m., the table was set. We used the china plates that we received from our wedding, the silver forks/knives/spoons from Paige's parents (with some of the silver from my parents since we had 14 guests and the silverware sets are for 12 people), and glassware from our wedding. There were a few glasses that belonged to my mom and dad too. 

The napkins were from 3 sets - one that belonged to us and two that belonged to my parents. When they died, I inherited them. My sister and brother didn't want them. 

This is one side of the table. I got a new table runner this year. The two silver pieces on the runner are to put hot dishes on. They expand to the size of pan or plate. 

Everyone arrived between 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. It took that long to put the finishing touches on the food, everything into serving dishes, and the food onto the table. 

 

In the scramble to get everything on the table, I realized (in retrospect) that I didn't take any close-up pictures of the food. So, on this side of the table, there's gravy, pumpkin spice bread, wild rice pilaf, mashed potatoes, dressing (from a box), homemade dressing (my dad's recipe), lemon curd, applesauce with ginger and cinnamon, and cheesy potatoes. 

On this side of the table, there's a 13-pound turkey (which is small compared to past years); fresh fruit salad; Brussel sprouts with maple syrup and bacon; green beans with shallots and mushrooms; pickles; homemade rolls; gravy; and honey ham. 

After dinner and dessert (pumpkin pie, French silk pie, brownies, and homemade nut goodie bars), we played games. There was a game of Life going on in the family room.

We had a game of Millennial Loteria (Bingo) in the dining room. 

There were some funny images on the card. 

After Jim's family, Jordan, and Yari left, a game of Skip-Bo was played. Then Mary and Colton left, and Sophia, Olivia, and Nessa continued playing Skip-Bo.

I did the dishes since the majority of them had to be hand-washed. There was a lot of glassware and china that can't go in the dishwasher. This is one side of the kitchen with both counters and the sink full of drying dishes.

This is the other side of the kitchen with the counter full of drying silverware, pots, pans, and miscellaneous dishes.

We all had such a nice Thanksgiving, and enjoyed spending the time with one another. 

Alone Together - Love, Grief, and Comfort in the Time of COVID-19

 Who would have thought in March 2020 that one year later COVID-19 would still be around, we would be wearing masks, and over 500,000 people would have died it? It is not surprising that books about COVID-19 have been added to the library collection. A new book that I found at the library is Alone Together - Love, Grief, and Comfort in the Time of COVID-19 which is edited by Jennifer Haupt.

 This book is a collection of short stories, poems, and reflections by a variety of writers. There is such a diversity of writing styles and content which makes it an interesting book. With so many perspectives on the pandemic and its impact on people, it is reassuring to know that I'm not alone in feeling the way that I do. 

Some things that stood out from the various poems and stories include: 

- Part of the tremendous unease during the pandemic has been recognizing that we are in the midst of transformation, with no clear sense of where it will lead and little reassuring guidance along the way. 

- We're doing these things we didn't have time for in the past because we were so busy with our lives.

Olivia making a barn quilt. She was commissioned to do a 

custom-designed barn quilt which is exciting!

- What's the new normal now? I'm finding that we're going back to some of the things that we used to do growing up and my kid is enjoying it!  

Enjoying watching and photographing birds during the pandemic.

- These shared experiences are bringing us closer together, and I think that's one of the gifts of this time, that we're going to develop some new old ways of interacting with each other. 

Making food for holidays and other special days.

- That's when I saw something I'd missed for a long time. Smiles. 

- Only when I noticed others doing errands in their pajamas did I realize that...people were going outside wearing the clothes they'd just slept in. It wasn't exhibitionism. Dressing had become as blurry as the days of the week.

- Our faces became armored with masks. When people approached it was impossible to determine if they were happy or threatening. 

Some of our Lions Club members packaging food for 

other members before a Zoom club meeting.

- Each week I spend triple (on groceries) what I did pre-virus and still feel like I do not have enough.

- The virus sheds and we shed what doesn't serve us so we can focus on what matters.

Enjoying a meal together on New Year's Day.

- In times like these, trying to produce any kind of art feels a bit frivolous. But when we're stuck in our homes and told only to go out when absolutely needed, making art is probably the best way to combat anxiety and atrophy.

Made window stars for Olivia's 18th birthday which 

also was her golden birthday.

- We can treat our pain and create change when we turn our grief and anger into action.

- The plans that had been the tent poles for my illusion of control were pulled right out of the ground. I had to make new plans, live by new rules, which took some doing.

- For the first time in her life, she must do nothing at all. 

- Somewhere in the past year, she has stopped waking up more beautiful each day. Something has shifted in her face and she sees age flicker between her brows then dive down to the two crevices on the sides of her mouth. 

- Grace is finding your own unique strengths and developing those as best you can. Grace is doing what you love and loving what you do.

  

One of the things I love is taking photos of nature - plants and wildlife.

- You want to keep arguing for those things you were passionate about fifty days ago, but you cannot remember what day of the week itis, you cannot remember the month.

- You see your family and friends via cell phone, via computer. Your hair is grayer. There are circles under everyone's eyes, there are worry lines accenting the corners of mouths. 

 

Conducting meetings on Zoom has become the new normal.

At this particular one, we had a speaker and bald eagle from The Raptor Center 

join us for a presentation.

College Admissions During COVID - Book Notes

It's time again for college visits, but this time for Olivia. Having gone through college visits with Sophia in 2018, I can say that this round is substantially different. Masks, social distancing, Zoom meetings, not bringing outside food and beverages onto campuses during college visits, no handshakes - all make for quite a uniquely memorable experience. 

Given how everything is different than in the past in terms of admissions, I was happy to come across College Admissions During COVID - How to Navigate the New Challenges in Admissions, Testing, Financial Aid, and More by Robert Frankek. 

Although some of the information was general and I already knew because of having one daughter in college (e.g., what the FAFSA is, test options, financial aid), there were some things that are helpful to know:

- A best fit for college rests on four things: academic fit, cultural fit, financial fit, and career fit.

- Ask about on-campus research experiences such as working alongside a professor in a lab, writing a thesis, or completing a capstone project for a major.

- Practice taking the ACT while wearing a mask and at the time that the test will be held. 

- If an ACT score is low, remember that a college application also includes essays, teacher recommendations, and extracurricular activities. These all set you apart from other applicants.

- Timeline:

JUNIOR YEAR

- Take the ACT when you are ready

- Balance schoolwork and outside-school interests

- Take the most challenging courses available to you.

- Start gathering teacher recommendations

- Make virtual campus visits for a narrowed-down college list

- Research available scholarships

SUMMER BEFORE SENIOR YEAR

- Start working on your application and prewriting college essays

- Make a calendar of all application deadlines (college and scholarships)

- Consider visiting colleges that are on the top of your list

- If you are applying for Early Decision, take the ACT no later than September

- Create your own project. Turn your interests and talents into a summer-long project (e.g., practicing creative writing and submitting your work to journals that publish the work of high school students)

- Become an entrepreneur - start a business that offers a service to your community

- Volunteer locally - commit to volunteering for a few hours a week from now through senior year

- Find a research opportunity. Use a platform like Zooniverse to contribute to scientific research or transcribe historical documents 

SENIOR YEAR - FALL

- Apply early if you're a strong candidate

- Finish applications and stay on top of deadlines for scholarships and financial aid

- Keep focused and study. Senior grades matter and can affect financial aid

SENIOR YEAR - SPRING

- Send thank-you notes to your recommenders

- Talk to family before making a final college choice

- Read through your college's course catalog and start planning for your next four years!

- Your GPA and the rigor of your high school courses are the most important factors on your application.

- Find and commit to the extracurricular activities that you find meaningful. Look for activities through community organizations

- Find ways to further your passions on your own initiative, apart from school settings

- Look at websites for engaging in service that helps others:

- All for Good

- Catchafire

- Crisis Text Line

- Points of Light

- Project Gutenberg

-Smithsonian Transcription Center

- United Nations Volunteers

- World Family Children Foundation

- Earn money by creating art or graphic designs and selling them to others. Check out CafePress

- If you're an artist, meet online with an Art Club to share and critique work for your portfolio, or deliver illustrations and photography to brighten up a local hospital or nursing home.

- Send in a financial aid appeal as soon as possible after the financial aid package arrives.

- Be honest about any claims you make about your finances with the financial aid officer. 

- Finish college in three years, if possible. Take the maximum number of credits each semester and earn credits via online courses.

- College essay: tell about something that is important to you - an experience, a person, or a book. It shows colleges the unique qualities you will add to the incoming class.

- Take the opportunity to really examine how an experience taught you something you didn't previously know about yourself, got you out of your comfort zone, or forced you to grow.

- Always send thank-you notes to people with whom you've interviewed.

- Asking for a letter of recommendation

- Ask early - either in your late junior year or senior year

- Get detailed - provide a resume so the person doing the letter of recommendation has something to work with

- Let the person know when you need the letter of recommendation

Healing the Divide - Poems of Kindness and Connection

Recently I read Healing the Divide - Poems of Kindness and Connection which is edited by James Crews. 

There are quite a few poems in this book that I liked or that I wanted to read multiple times. Below are some of them. 

REVISIT

Carol Cone

What do you see when
your baby comes home at fifty?
Do you remember the child
who couldn't sleep a single night
for two endless years
who wouldn't eat most foods
who pushed your hugs away
who gave kisses to no one?

Slowly, the years passed without
a hug, a visit, a Christmas card, yet
whatever brought the epiphany - 
his father's death, a mid-life crisis
or realization that half a life
had passed him by, much too fast - 

he came home at fifty,
erasing years of separation.
Just a visit, an experiment,
still prickly but ready to talk,
to reach out an inch or two 
perhaps to build a fragile bridge
across those missing years.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

SMALL KINDNESSES

Danusha Laméris 

I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk 
down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs 
to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” 
when someone sneezes, a leftover 
from the Bubonic plague. “Don’t die,” we are saying. 
And sometimes, when you spill lemons 
from your grocery bag, someone else will help you 
pick them up. Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other. 
We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, 
and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile 
at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress 
to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, 
and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. 
We have so little of each other, now. So far 
from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. 
What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these 
fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here, 
have my seat,” “Go ahead — you first,” “I like your hat.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I CONFESS

Alison Luterman

I stalked her 

in the grocery store: her crown 

of snowy braids held in place by a great silver clip, 

her erect bearing, radiating tenderness, 

watching the way she placed yogurt and avocados in her basket, 

beaming peace like the North Star. 

I wanted to ask, "What aisle did you find 

your serenity in, do you know 

how to be married for fifty years or how to live alone, 

excuse me for interrupting, but you seem to possess 

some knowledge that makes the earth turn and burn on its axis—" 

But we don’t request such things from strangers 

nowadays. So I said, "I love your hair."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

WAVING GOODBYE

Wesley McNair

Why, when we say goodbye 

at the end of an evening, do we deny 

we are saying it at all, as in We’ll 

be seeing you, or I’ll call, or Stop in, 

somebody’s always at home? Meanwhile, our friends, 

telling us the same things, go on disappearing 

beyond the porch light into the space 

which except for a moment here or there 

is always between us, no matter what we do. 

Waving goodbye, of course, is what happens 

when the space gets too large 

for words—a gesture so innocent 

and lonely, it could make a person weep 

for days. Think of the hundreds of unknown 

voyagers in the old, fluttering newsreel 

patting and stroking the growing distance 

between their nameless ship and the port 

they are leaving, as if to promise I’ll always 

remember, and just as urgently, Always 

remember me. Is it loneliness, too, 

that makes the neighbor down the road lift two 

fingers up from his steering wheel as he passes 

day after day on his way to work in the hello 

that turns into goodbye? What can our own raised 

fingers do for him, locked in his masculine 

purposes and speeding away inside the glass? 

How can our waving wipe away the reflex 

so deep in the woman next door to smile 

and wave on her way into her house with the mail, 

we’ll never know if she is happy 

or sad or lost? It can’t. Yet in that moment 

before she and all the others and we ourselves 

turn back to our disparate lives, how 

extraordinary it is that we make this small flag 

with our hands to show the closeness we wish for 

in spite of what pulls us apart again 

and again: the porch light snapping off, 

the car picking its way down the road through the dark.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

EVERYDAY GRACE

Stella Nesanovich

It can happen like that: 

meeting at the market, 

buying tires amid the smell 

of rubber, the grating sound 

of jack hammers and drills, 

anywhere we share stories, 

and grace flows between us. 

The tire center waiting room 

becomes a healing place 

as one speaks of her husband's 

heart valve replacement, bedsores 

from complications. A man 

speaks of multiple surgeries, 

notes his false appearance 

as strong and healthy. 

I share my sister's death 

from breast cancer, her 

youngest only seven. 

A woman rises, gives 

her name, Mrs. Henry, 

then takes my hand. 

Suddenly an ordinary day 

becomes holy ground.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

FOR YOU I'LL FLY

Carmen Tafolla

The earth below us shifts

and the joints of houses ache

with hairline fractures that grow

into faultlines on the walls.

The motors burn out

first the fan and then the garbage disposal,

on my way out the door

to job or bank or nursing home.

The only two burners still lighting weakly

on the stovetop flicker at me.

Things fall apart

sometimes people too 

as crisis-after-crisis beats us down.

Deaths and Close-to-deaths

Loss and Deeper loss.

You can no longer swallow, 

or pronounce.

You reach a hand of bones

to lift my hand to your lips.

Your eyes catch my eyes with kindness,

carry the message as softly as you can 

against this harsh sky.

The song you heard playing before I did,

Por Ti Volare, I recognize.

You sang a million times, before this disease.

I didn't know the English title

was  Time to Say Goodbye.

You pull a shining smile out of this stiff

Parkinson's mask

and gently

release me

Asian-Style Spicy Coleslaw

On Mother's Day, I tried a new recipe Asian-Style Spicy Coleslaw, that I saw on Pinterest. It led to Food and Wine.

I had some cabbage that I wanted to use and had all but one of the ingredients on hand. That's the type of recipe I like - one where I have everything available and don't have to go out and get something special.

The recipe has a flavorful and spicy flavor which I enjoyed. I wasn't able to detect the Asian fish sauce in it, but Sophia could and said she didn't care for it. I think it could be eliminated since it isn't a critical ingredient.

I made half a recipe since I knew that only Sophia and I would eat it. So, I kept some of the dressing aside to add as we were eating it so the cabbage and other vegetables wouldn't soften.

I would make this recipe again - maybe next time without the fish sauce and see if that makes a difference in the taste.

Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce
2 pounds napa cabbage, thinly sliced (12 cups) (I didn't have this so used regular cabbage)
3/4 pounds red cabbage, thinly sliced (3 cups) (I didn't have this either so I used regular cabbage)
3 medium carrots, julienned
2 red peppers, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
15 mint leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the lime juice, fish sauce, water, sugar, garlic and Sriracha. In a large bowl, toss the napa and red cabbages with the carrots, peppers, cilantro and mint. Toss the salad with the dressing and season with salt and pepper. Serve right away.

Making Some More Window Stars

One of my goals this year is to try some new window star patterns that I found on Pinterest. One of the patterns I tried turned out very similar to the image shown on Pinterest. I used 3"x6" lime-green kite paper to create it.

This is the pattern and instructions.

I made both a yellow and lime-green version of the window star. I think lighter colors are better so the pattern can be seen easier than with a dark color.

I tried making the window star again, but using 2.5"x5.5" paper. The results were somewhat different with the smaller size, but no other significant changes:

This is how the sizes compare - with the yellow using the larger 3"x6" paper and the lime green using the 2.5"x5.5" paper.

The second star I made didn't even come close to the image in the image on Pinterest. This is my result.

This is the pattern that was linked to Fashion and Recipes. It has quite a few patterns on the website. I used 3"x6" pink kite paper.

Now as I look at it I'm wondering if I forgot the last two steps with folding the points into the middle. I may have to try this one again.

It's been fun trying some new patterns during the stay-at-home order. It passes the time and gives me something creative to do.

A Positive Message During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Yesterday, I heard "The Great Realisation" by Probably Tomfoolery - first on the radio while driving  to take Cooper to the vet, and then I watched the video at home. Each time I was captivated by the message of what life was like before the virus and what it has been like since.

The story speculates what life will be like once a cure for COVID-19 happens. Will people go back to their old ways or will they want to stay with what life has been like?

Have there been positive changes in your life because of COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders?

This video is worth taking a few minutes to watch.



Here is the written version of the story:

Tell me the one about the virus again.
Then I'll go to bed.
But my boy, your growing weary,
sleepy though about your head.

Please! That's ones my favorite.
I promise, just once more.

Ok, Snuggle down, my boy,
though I know you know full well,
this story starts before then
in a world, I once would dwell.

It was a world of waste and wonder
of poverty and plenty,
back before we understood
why hindsight's twenty-twenty.

You see the people came up with companies
to trade across all lands.
But they swelled and got much bigger
than we ever could have planned.

We'd always had out wants,
but now it got so quick.
You could have anything you dreamed of
in a day, and with a click.

We noticed families had stopped talking.
That's not to say they never spoke,
but the meaning must have melted
and the work-life balance broke.

And the children eyes get squarer
and every toddler had a phone.
They filtered out the imperfections
but amidst the noise they felt alone.

And every day the skies grew thicker
till you couldn't see the stars.
So we flew in planes to find them
while down below we filled out cars.

We'd drive around all day in circles,
we'd forgotten how to run.
We swapped the grass for tarmac,
shrunk the parks 'till there were none.

We filled the seas with plastic
because our waist was never capped.
Until each day when you went fishing,
you'd pull them out already wrapped.

And while we drank and smoked and gambled
our leaders taught us why.
It's best to not upset the lobbies
more convenient to die.

But then in 2020,
a new virus came out way.
The governments reacted
and told us to all to hide away.

But while we all were hidden
amidst the fear and all the while,
the people dusted off their instincts.
They remembered how to smile.

They started clapping to say thank you
and calling up their mums
And while the car keys gather dust
they would look forward to their runs.

And when the skies less full of voyages
the earth began to breath
And the beaches bore new wildlife
that scuttled off into the seas.

Some people started dancing,
some were singling, some were baking.
We'd grown so used to bad news
but some good news was in the making.

And so when the found the cure,
and were allowed to go outside,
we all preferred the world we found,
to the one, we'd left behind.

Old habits became in extinct
and they made for the new.
And every simple act of kindness
was now given its due.

But why did it take a virus
to bring the people back together?
Well, sometimes you've got to get sick,
my boy, before you start feeling better.

Now lie down and dream of tomorrow
and all the things that we can do.
And who knows, if you dream hard enough,
maybe some of them will come true.

We now call it the Great Realizations
and yes, since then, there have been many,
but that's the story of how it started
and why hindsight is twenty-twenty.

Scrappy "Sewn" Greeting Cards

While Minnesota has a stay-at-home order, I have been able to spend much more time at home and try some new projects I've been wanting to do. This pin on Pinterest led to Kiflies Levendula that had an idea for using small pieces of scrapbook paper to create a greeting card. Below is an example of one of my finished cards.

The first step was folding a 9"x12" (or 8 1/2" x 11") piece of cardstock in half. Then, cut a variety of scrapbook paper into small pieces. This gives a starting point for fitting the pieces on the card.

Cut the pieces as needed to fit the front of the card. Below are the two layouts I did. The one on the left uses scrapbook paper and the one on the right uses handmade marbled paper that I made.

Next, take a thin, black permanent marker and draw little lines around each of the pieces of paper. It kind of reminds me of the blanket stitch in embroidery.

This was a fun project to do and used up some of the paper I had on hand.
