From Becky’s house. Conner’s dream bedroom would have a secret button. When you pushed it, a ladder would drop down out of the ceiling and he could climb up to an entire bedroom in the attic all his own no-one else knew about! Tiegan’s dream bedroom would also have a secret button. When you pushed it, a secret elevator would take you direct to the basement, and the basement would be full of rats! Teigan thinks they’re fun pets.

Becky and Brian have been working on a project. Together they’ve built an iPad app: a Labrynth. It’s only for the iPad; the graphics are too big for an iPhone, or iPod. It’s a collaboration. Becky came up with the idea, researched the concept, found the music, and created the website. Brian wrote the code and graphics. Here is the website link: http://labyrinth.aswdev.com This app went online Saturday. In three days they’ve sold 110 downloads. The majority went to the United States, but 6 went to Canada, 4 to France, and 2 or 3 each to Brazil, the UK, Turkey, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, India, Russia, and Australia. How cool is that? An instantaneous world market! They had to pay for rights to the music they used and buy an Apple Developer’s license. They’ve recovered those costs. If they can come up with a really good game, it could even pay for programmer time. This one is relaxing. They’re thinking something educational next. Maybe something Montessori based.
South Padre Island
There were kites in the air Saturday when we visited South Padre Island; all shapes and sizes.
Even an octopus.
Context
Anywhere else, this would not be an unusual sight; a field of ice. Here, in Deep South Texas however, this doesn’t happen much. It happened a couple nights ago.
It’s all a matter of context.(And today it was back to eighty.)
Not everything we find in a tree
…is a bird.
It appears to be a Texas Spiny Lizard. They live in trees.
