"A #2 Pencil And A Dream Can Take You Anywhere." Joyce A. Myers


I wish that someone could tell me who the artist is of these wonderful miniature carvings.  My orthodontist sent these to me via email and all I have are the images.  Aren't they AMAZING??















Thank you Dr. Land for sharing this with us.

Yabba Dabba Do!



This stone house tucked away in the Fafe Mountains of Portugal is constructed
with 2 large stones and concrete mix.  The rumor is that it was inspired by the Flintstone cartoon.  It attracts thousands of tourists yearly.  I would love to see interior pictures...wouldn't you?
