Alexander Koblikov, Juggler

Alexander Koblikov is an awesome juggler from the Ukraine. He's only been juggling since 2004, and this video was posted in 2008.  Here, he is juggling 10 balls.  There is a clip of him juggling 14 balls in 2013.  Incredible!!!  I hope you enjoy this as much as I've been!  --LKR

For Your Entertainment...

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did! --LKR

Letters to God

Simply hearing the theme song to "Lassie" has made me misty eyed since early childhood, and since then I avoid watching any tear jerker movies, especially if they involve children or animals.

But I am so very glad hubby and I went to see "Letters to God" at Carmike Cinemas at the Oakwood Mall in Eau Claire! We actually went to see it twice, and enjoyed it even more the second time around!

Should you go to see this entertaining movie, and I encourage you to do so, be prepared to laugh as well as cry. It's appealing to all ages, and a great flick to bring the whole family to see.

"Letters to God" is also a hope inspired movie. Several cancer survivors were part of this movie's production, and they make sure to fill you with hope at the very end. And, "hope is contagious", as the movie claims! --LKR

Greg Gilbertson Air Tapping

Greg was awesome! We saw him last night at CVBC playing for a Hope for Haiti event and had such an enjoyable evening being entertained!!! :-) I would have asked him about this air tap technique, but we left right after the event instead of sticking around to mingle. --LKR

Now only if my sister's bird would ever perform in front of an audience... . Enjoy!!! --LKR

Educating Entertainers Eating Aphids

I know many of you are not fond of these little beetles, let alone any bug in your homes, but to me, they are a mixed blessing. Call me nuts, but I rescue them before they accidentally go down the drain when searching for water, turn off lights when they fly into them at night, etc.

Why do I welcome them? They:

1) feast on the aphids that are unavoidably brought in on plants at the end of summer

2) are bright, colorful, and alive!!!

3) provide entertainment (while doing dishes, etc)

4 & 5) bring back memories of the real Ladybugs that were plentiful in my youth that would overwinter, lay eggs, and their alligator-looking larvae were an introduction to metamorphosis=education

Soon, they will disappear as warmer weather approaches, but until then, I'm enjoying their antics. And am relocating them to a newly bought plant that's covered in aphids! --LKR
