Opening Ceremony 2010 Winter Olympics

The ceremonies in Vancouver were just as good as in Beijing. Sure wish I could visit Canada someday. We'll see. It's on our list of things to do.

The OC were mesmerizing. I didn't quite get the boy flying through the fields, but not my vision of Canada. And the fiddlers were remarkable, but it's just a tiny aspect of what I know of Canada and not really worthy of the spirit of it I've been told.

The effects with the ocean, whales and trees were phenomenal! I loved it. I sure hope someone posts it on YouTube so I can get a hold of it.

My parents didn't get to see it. They got rid of their cable and I've spent most the morning trying to find a recording or clips of it that doesn't have indecent ads on the site.

I have talked to quite a few people who didn't even bother watching it last night. It was a must see of the year. I stood right along with the crowd when Republic of Georgia did their walk through. I am glad they've not pulled out and decided to honor their friend through going on with their competition. I will be rooting for them as well. My condolences go out to his family and country. Such a promising future cut short. The family of Nodar Kumaritashvili is in our prayers.

All about Applemama

I'm a homeschool mother of 4 wonderful children. My girls are 11, 4 and 2. My only son is 8 and full of energy. We live in rural PA, and have 8 chickens, 5 rabbits, 3 cats, 3 ducks, and one mouse.

We were married here 11 years ago and moved off to FL - then to VA - and now back here after my husband's job was uprooted and not transplanted. He found a job to work in his field (at least somewhat) and we are taking a wonderful opportunity to move back to where we met. We have old friends here and enjoy reconnecting with the church where we were married. We love it and are making many new friends.
