Raining Acorns

Lately there has been a great amount of acorns falling from the trees. I feel this is nature telling us it may be a hard winter by providing food for squirrels and spreading its seeds for more trees. Again another week with thunderstorms forecasted and nothing really hit. Thus far temperatures have been a bit warmer and we will see how October ends. I had planned to collect apples from my parents as well as my trees but it may have to be next weekend. Never hurts to wait a little longer.

Catan Junior hit the table again this week and I have to say this is becoming a standard for us to play. Also Natalia and I had our first game of Survive Space Attack! and so far a bit more ruthless than the original game. This week I pulled the trigger and ordered Legendary Encounters: Aliens and hope to get my first game in this coming week and have high hopes for this game. Sunday ended with my first game of Smallworld with Natalia along with Blokus and Strawberry Shortcake Strawberry Land game.

Bathroom slowly coming along and now down to the smaller things and connections on an older house and that is always many trips to the hardware store.

This weekend Natalia and I went to a birthday party where we both had a great time playing Nerf guns, water fights a bouncer and a fort, yes a fort.

Finished reading the first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study In Scarlet and found it short but an introduction to the characters. I may read another Sherlock Holmes story. On a trip to the book store I found an Asimov book on the wrong place and saw it as a sign to pick up the book. That book I am now reading is The Gods Themselves and it is reviewed as his best book and one of the best science fiction books. So far I liked the first third of the book, but a the second third is a bit odd for me. Also this week I stopped by a used book store and picked up some books of interest. Among those is the Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy that I feel started all these long fantasy stories and characters. I do wish I would have found the original covers. I may reread these books again soon.

I would like to share this awesome video by Beasts of War of an X-Wing table layout of Endor. Truly epic and awesome.
