Lid from Sarcophagus of Palenque

There's a theory that the relief on the lid of the sarcophagus represents an astronaut and his spaceship.  According to Mayan legend, the symbolism of the lid shows King Pacal falling into the jaws of the Earth monster each night to rise again with the power of the sun each morning. What do you see?


If you look at the sideways view, it looks kind of like the hover-cycle from Return of the Jedi.

Happy Belated Birthday Stacy!

This is late because I wanted to scan in some old pictures of Stacy - ones that have NEVER SEEN THE INTERNET BEFORE.  Most are pre-internet completely.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

Favorite picture from Stacy's wedding.  Photographer and I caught her taking a break to eat.

Me & Stacy at Todd's wedding, when velvet and taffeta were all the rage.  

We are so sisters.  Who else would have break in new sheets this way?  Things got much more tangled after this was taken.

First Journal Entry: May 1, 1988 Sunday

Today is the first day of May.  The first thing I did was have breakfast, get dressed and do the the dogs, Tasha, Kam, Monique.  That is my job.  The next thing I did was take a shower and get dressed again but in a dress for church. It was Stake Conference and I just sat and did some fun stuff pages.

About a half hour after church, which was from 1-3, we had dinner.  then my Dad, dog and I went on a walk through the woods.  We took the leafy path for the first time in a long time.  A lot of people had littered a lot.  Why do people litter?

This was apparently for a project in 3rd grade where we had to do journal entries for a week and ask questions at the end of each entry.

Best items from other entries:
Thought it was spelled relifasociaty.  I think I thought it was one word.
I still loved rain - one entry all about chanted for it to rain longer and doing a rain dance.
I used to give Mom presents from the dog.  For mothers day, she got this poem:
"Roses are red, violets are blue, there's no dog luckier with a mama like you."
