The other camera (or Erddig and Wrexham vol. II)

I thought I'd post a link to Kristin's blog, so you can see the photos that she took on our Sunday walk through Erddig and Wrexham! Scroll down through the photos and enjoy! (It's in Swedish, but I've linked to it through Google translate.  That's why the wordings a bit off.)

Erddig and Wrexham

On Sunday, Kristin and I went for a long walk down to Erddig (an old estate that's been turned into a park and pronounced "air-theg" or something like that) and then back through Wrexham.  It was beautiful and sunny.  Everyone and their dog were out walking and enjoying the sunshine.  We sat on a little hill overlooking the river, and watched the dogs get soaking wet!

Oh, and did you know that daffodils are one of the symbols of Wales? (The other is leeks.) There are so many daffodils blooming now, it's beautiful.

So, enjoy some photographs, plus a short video of flowers, and birds singing.

INTP

I mentioned recently that we had a week (two weeks ago now) about identity and personality.  We talked a bit about the Meyers-Briggs personality types and how we interact as a team based on that.  It turns out that everyone else in the house is firmly in the "I like to plan things and know what's going to happen next" category while I'm in the "huh? what? there's a schedule?" category. 

While reading more about my personality type (Introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving) I came across a fun website called thatintp. It's got some great graphics and links about the INTP personality type.  I've included some of my favorites from there below. I realize that not everyone will find these funny, but most of these made me smile and laugh, simply because they're true!

It's interesting, it's only 1% of women in the world who are INTPs. With my interests and my preferences, I wonder what the future holds?

Have you ever taken the Meyers-Briggs questionnaire?  What are your preferences?

This week in Wrexham

Highlights

  • A friend, Taryn Knibbs, teaching about destiny and who God's calling us to be.
  • Baking Matzoh bread with Shelby, Anna and Kristin and then having communion together.
  • Building a bird box from scratch, using only hand tools!
  • Sunshine and temperatures in the 60s.
  • Daffodils.  March first is St. David's day (kinda like St. Patrick's day, but Welsh), and one of the symbols of Wales is the daffodil.  The other is the leek.
  • Going to Caia park and playing football/soccer, and getting thoroughly trounced by two nine-year-old lads. (But managing to save one goal, and score two!)
  • Talking to friends and playing Mahjong at Just Across.
  • Interviewing the Mayor and his wife for a video we're making about the churches in Wrexham, and then sitting and chatting with them for half an hour.
  • Did I mention sunshine?
  • Baby sitting the Vening children tonight and tomorrow!

Lowlights

  • For Lent, I'm not using my computer or phone before 8:30am or after 6pm.  Do you know how hard that is?!
