Tibet in Bloomington

The Dalai Lama’s brother used to be a professor at IU, and there is a consecrated temple just outside of town as a side effect. The 109 acre grounds are well worth a visit. Peace and zen confusion abound.
Though I have been to Bloomington many many times since graduating in 1995, I had never been to visit. It was nice to experience a new aspect of Bloomington with Romey…especially right on the heels of our visit to Japan and its many shrines.

Romey made sure her mom got to the polls. We got our country back from the goons. See how this works? Sure you do.
And you know what’s best about the whole thing? Showing the next generation how to vote and telling them why it’s important.
You don’t think it’s important? Read this.

Thanks Romey!

I mean from scratch. Get out the box. Read the instructions. Get the bowls and pans. Think about the order. Execute.
So fun to watch. Only minimal supervision these days.

Good lord, Leiden is walking and burbling. He’s like a little guy now.
And his big sister is so good with him.
We came back from Japan bearing gifts.

The ivy always needs a trim. So here we go. Freshly trimmed.
This makes the dogs happy.
