We have those Barbie dolls, too. Somewhere in the house are some of the action figures from the movie. Great show. Although I knew it was a tv show, the way it was done and performed it always felt like maybe there is something real there. The truth is out there.

These were out my back window on Friday, about ten feet away. We had to cut down a crap apple tree damaged in a storm. Now they all hang out by the woods enjoying the fruits and leaves that are now in reach.

Where is the one place you most want to travel that you haven’t been yet? And here are my ‘kids’ outside for a bathroom break, but having other ideas. It was very hot, so it lasted about 30 seconds and then they were ready to come in.

And finally, it would not be a trip to Origins without the bag full of new puzzles. Good five days, but exhausting. It was nice to catch up with friends from past year and meet some new ones. We had a busy schedule on Saturday so missed most of the Pride Parade, unfortunately.

Returned from #originsgamefair in Columbus this weekend and had a good time playing quite a few new games. We really enjoyed playing Kokeshi from @grandgamersguild.bsky.social We acquired more games (19) than we planned (again) but will be busy exploring the new stuff all through the summer.
