Lovely day

Yesterday was lovely. Thank goodness for air conditioning! And the evening was Lego Night (Whoop!) - I got my castle done fairly quickly, which surprised me until I realised that it was a far more 'airy' design than most, so got to help vander_hazaerdt with his - that was one that took more than 2 1/2 hours to build. It is sitting on our dining room table waiting to be taken apart and put away again.

The drawbridge is a work of art, I tell you. What an impressive castle. Even if it only came with one horse. (What's with that?!) My story is that the dragon ate all the other ones. :)

[Edit] ( for Merely Marcus, a picture of the castle )

For my local buds

The new Trader Joe's at Mecca* is scheduled to open on May 8th. It is at least twice as large as the one in Newport News.

*SQUEEEEEEEEE*


*The corner of Laskin Road/First Colonial. You know... Arby's, Sonic, Dairy Queen & Outback clustered towards the road with Borders, Total Wine & More, Michael's across the street and JoAnn Fabric & Office Max in the same parking lot. Oh, and that handy Kinko's with the two color-copiers down by the Borders. :)
