It's not much but...

Wait, "what is it", you ask? It's my first construction project, that's what!
A wise man once said "measure twice, cut once." I never met that man. I measured once and cut four times, so the whole thing's a little wobbly. Oh well, it's not like we're going to be pouring drinks on it, right? Onward and upward, I say! As long as I find a bracket to support this contraption if it goes too far upward...

AMAZING Sand artist Kseniya Simonova

Had to share this with you guys!

Sand artist Kseniya Simonova, winner of Ukraine's Got Talent, becomes internet hit

Miss Simonova, 24, drew a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.

One video clip of her work on the television talent show has been viewed by two million users alone.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Despite popular belief, the Demon was the original helmet ride. Someday, I hope to be able to pass this on to my own child for their journey through this crazy roller coaster... called life. Until then, I know I'll be safe and sound.
Love you Mom!
