Ginger is great. I often eat raw ginger root. AMong other things i put it in the vegetables drink that I drink.

I read that it is possible to grow ginger from the root. So, when I see some of my ginger root growing a sprout, I tried planting it.

Here is the shoot of the root so far. I don’t want to disturb it just yet, but I am hoping  the root is getting bigger.

Here is another one I planted, but the shoot died. I think it might have been too moist for it or something.

Magda makes sock monkeys.

She has made a whole bunch of different looking monkeys for various people and they are cute.

The pedia says that the sock monkey pattern was patented in the 1950s. I tried looking it up at both googoo-p and at the uspto, but couldn’t find it. If there really is a patent, I think it would be hilarious to read.

Here are some photos of a couple of sock monkeys.
