Antique Roadshow

The Antique Roadshow is so much fun! We were lucky enought to get invited by my sister Liz. She is so popular in the Desert. Gets invited EVERYWHERE! And a very good Grant Writer too. Check out her website http://www.lizwritesgrants.com/ And THANK YOU to another Liz in our lives... Liz from the Imagination Workshop, Thank you for taping this so we can save it for posterity! Anyway, as Mark would say "Back to the Roadshow" We enjoyed meeting Mark Wahlburg. We did not have anything of exceptional value except the fun we had! And we did not end up on the cutting room floor. Look close as Mark Closes episode 3 from Palm Springs California!

Internationl Year of Astronomy

2009 is the International Year Of Astronomy! Don't miss out on the beauty to be found in the Heaven's Above! This is the year for all people on earth to take the time to look in a telescope, attend a star party or just look up and say "hello" to the great hunter Orion and all of his Heavenly friends!

Grampa took this picture of the Orion Nebula from our back yard on 12/30/08.

This Picture of the Orion Nebula was taken by the Hubble Telescope in October of 2007

Also known as M42 the nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away. The Orion Nebula offers one of the best opportunities to study how stars are born.

The Great Nebula in Orion can be found just below and to the left of the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion.

It's Over TJ

Yes TJ - Cats have Christmas too. But its over now. Time to put away the ornaments and lights. Time to carefully wrap the nativity and put it in the box. But try to keep the feeling in our hearts. I think we're gonna need it in 2009!
