    Looks like a heap of fun!! A chase would be hilarious... he's probably too fast though and would bowl everyone over on the slide!

    Both links were great Starby!! The first one reminded me so much of Emily, our Lab. We had one Lab, our first when the kids were little. We would go on a river that had rapids and when my niece would jump in on a rope swing in the deep part, Buck would jump in and she would get his tail as he swam out of the water, being her hero. How precious.

    I wish I had a source of water in our front lawn, a little pond or such and could do the lights and play Christmas Carols as the water kept rhythm with the tunes. :)

    The Thinker Statue by Auguste Rodin

    This is on the University of Louisville campus. Students used to put a roll of
    Toilet paper in his folded arm.

    'The Thinker' is one of those classics we all love.

    Here's a favourite statue of mine from the grounds of The Australian National University. She is the goddess Saraswati. The statue was a gift from the Indonesian government in 1969.

    Much prettier than "The Thinker." I tried to attach the image like you
    Just did, but I didn't have any luck. I've visited Cairns, Melbourne and
    Sydney.

    It's gorgeous Couchcarrot, and not a statue you ever tire of seeing. I'm from Sydney originally... did you have a chance to see the harbour? My sister and her husband are visiting their daughter in Cairns this Christmas. Do you work at the University in Louisville?

    The image needs to be attached saved as a gif... if that helps.

    No. I don't work there. My late dad graduated from there.

    I did see the harbor in Sydney, but I was afraid to climb the bridge
    Like some of the other tour members paid to do. I spent a lot
    Of time at the Circle Quay. Which I pronounced K-W-A-Y
    Until the concierge at the Wentworth Hotel corrected me and
    Said it's pronounced KEY. :confused:

    Circular Quay is nice for a stroll.. haven't been there in years. When my mum lived in Sydney we would always take the kids to Luna Park and eat lunch under the Harbour Bridge. Loved doing that. I haven't climbed the Harbour Bridge either... although I'd like do one day. My boyfriend has a real fear of heights, so I'll probably have to take my son with me.

    Sorry to hear about your father passing. What did he graduate in?

    I have a few things to organise (and remember) before leaving here in around an hour's time... enjoyed chatting with you. Hope you have a lovely Christmas day.

    The art thread led to an eBay link that led to look what's selling on eBay for $46,000 at the moment... this artist is amazing, hey.
