Quakes

My mother was interviewed by the NY Times yesterday. The reporter didn't know that he had found one of the best people to ask about Morris County, - my mother has lived there her whole life. The inquiry of the day? Earthquakes! It is as strange as it sounds, earthquakes in NJ! These were just little tremors, - three within the last month. The full story at the NY Times site.

Unfortunately, Mom's face didn't make it into the article, so here is a recent shot.

A Yummy President's Day

In honor of President's Day the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. displayed presidential portraits, made of cupcakes! The artist used over 5,000 cupcakes to create the faces of Presidents Lincoln and Obama. What a fun idea! For a cute story on the event, NPR has more!
