Ascension : Chronicles of the God King Review
 

Ascension : Chronicles of the God King is a deck-building board game that has strong flavors of Magic the Gathering and Dominion in it.   It’s a fast gateway deck builder game that takes less than 5 minutes to explain and less than an hour to play.  Ascension is a good game that I believe has carved out it’s own niche in this fast growing sector of the market.

Heavenly sin city……..
 

I see ya ……..raising a skeptical eyebrow as you read this but truly  Vegas was a world of whimsy for our trip,  which you got to admit was pretty lucky for me.  Bellagio’s  indoor gardens had completely recreated a very large garden with bugs and insects and mushrooms that you could wander aimlessly around as if you had inadvertently munched one side of the toadstool……..it was soooo cool,  especially the bees which were all made out of fresh flowers. I was in heaven in sincity,  not an easy feat if you think about it.  The Palms also had the first poster I’d seen for Harry Potter 7 So I was completely in sensory overload especially as the showman extraordinaire Jim Rose was also doing a show and slot extravaganza So we caught the man dropping a bowling ball onto a plate onto his wife’s stomach (ow can you say divorce) and hitting a man over the head  with a frying pan (he was going for the world record of 20 but could “only” manage 7 double ow)

Has Gaga lost her sausages?
 

It was Fashion Week after all but I don’t think we’ll ever encounter this on the runway or on a doll although it would be pretty funny. A little minute steak, some heavy white thread, lots of rhinestone jewelry and voila! You have made a fashion statement and stinky doll. It would be a great doll for the Fashion Royalty travel doll competition.

Can I Mom? Can I?
 

Several years ago my Mom urged me to set-up a table at her church fair as the cost of the table was a donation to the church and it might provide me with an opportunity to sell a couple things. I love being outside during the Fall when it’s not too hot and not too cold.

Bud’s Box – Now It Houses His Things
 

A couple of Christmas’s ago my younger brother, you know – the one who has the amazing workshop, gave hubby and I a wonderful present for our “Bud.” It was a wooden box that he had built that was meant to store a large bag of dog food. It had a handle on the front which when pulled would open a tilted draw.
