Tiny Things

Welcome to the tiny world of the Mini Time Museum of Miniatures in Tucson, AZ.  I took my grandchildren for a visit last November and the museum still had some Halloween displays up and they were starting to put up some Christmas displays.  Unfortunately my little granddaughter spied a big mummy and freaked out.  My husband had to meet us at the museum to pick her up, however, my grandson and I stayed and toured all the tiny things that were on display.  Click to enlarge for full detail.

This first photo is of a mansion study.  I can't believe how detailed everything is!  I just love the "miniature" world and never get tired of the skill that goes into creating such wonders.

This next photo is of a lady's sitting room/dressing room.  AMAZING!

The dining room is so elegant!

Golf 101

One Saturday in September my son-in-law took my two grandchildren golfing at a local course in Tucson, AZ.  Lillian, almost 2, and Brandt, age 4 had fun learning the finer tips of the game!
Because Joe, my son-in-law, has been golfing since he was 9, he knows what he is doing and he can easily coach people when it comes to the form and technique of the game.  Therefore, he is showing Lillian how to hold a club while Brandt looks on.
Somehow they all made it onto the green and it looks like Brandt is ready to putt. 
Apparently Lillian got bored with the game at one point and started to make up her own rules!
Brandt is normally right-handed but he putts with his left hand.  He has been going with Joe for a few years now and Brandt is developing into quite a golfer!
                                      Hmmmm...where did that ball go?


          Okay, I'll just pick up the ball and put it in the cup!


          Lesson 1 for Lillian is apparently over for now!
