Laon Cathedral, Aisne, France, is renowned for the story of “the oxen in the spires.” Completed in 1235, the Cathedral stands as one of the best-preserved examples of early French Gothic architecture.
Beyond its considerable architectural significance, Laon Cathedral is famous for one unique feature.
Peeking out from its two west facade spires, sixteen life-sized, intricately carved white limestone oxen gaze outward vigilantly, seemingly watching over the cathedral (*Please see trivia #1).
**Featured Door: The Coronation Portal, West Entrance, Laon Cathedral (An image is shown above)
These ruby-red wooden doors are set within one of the earliest examples of deep entrance arches ever devised for Gothic cathedrals. Above the door, Mary, Mother of Jesus sits on a throne next to Christ enthroned, accompanied by angels.
In the archivault four rows of miniature statues representing the Tree of Jesse illustrate the lineage of Jesus…

Wednesday was sunny and warm, so Julie suggested an afternoon out in the car. We decided on castle Rising, the site of a famous castle and a village of the same name. Since moving to Norfolk, I have been meaning to visit this impressive fortress, and I finally got to do that. We drove 28 miles west of Beetley to where the castle is situated, very close to the major town of King’s Lynn.
Clicking on the photos will take you to Flickr, where they can be greatly enlarged. There are also more photos than I usually post, but because I love old castles, I got excited!
Sometimes I wish to tell you about these milestones, yet within these times you no longer hold a place. You no longer deserve any acknowledgement or notification of my accomplishments. Yes, you were there at the beginning... But the rest of the journey has solely been mine.

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Palatable Possibilities: Quark Raspberry Swirl! Quark, quark, quark. Yep…it’s a real thing. Probably the easiest way to explain what quark is would be to say, “Think about a cross between sour cream and greek yogurt”. It has the smoothness of both when mixed with veggies or fruit. Obviously when using raspberries, a little sugar makes it super-delicious. I like the fresh pleasant zing of lime juice mixed in, too. And what can I say? The coconut flavor just makes the dessert that much better.
QUARK RASPBERRY SWIRL
Ingredients:
2 cups quark
I teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lime juice
8 ounces frozen raspberries, thawed
Lime Zest, for garnish

his book was excellent. What are our obligations to our fellow human beings, and to our family, near or far?
And yes, some attitudes and even some policies do apparently just have to be outlived, because they will not change, no matter how much logic is shown.
There should be more notes, but I cannot find them. I also read them out of order, as the short story The Borders of Infinity comes immediately before the start of this novel, and provides the reason for the book’s Inciting Incident, which is that Miles is stuck on Earth after arriving injured and on the run from the Cetegandan Empire, the arch-enemies of Barrayar, after having nearly miraculously managed to free a PoW camp on his own, and naked, my thanks and compliments to Fan Artist artfrostedleaf for this excellent drawing, used from her Tumblr in the Featured Image, to start out on the first day. To summarize the book, with apologies for the spoilers, Miles has a clone, produced by people who want to ruin his father. Under the laws of the Beta Colony, Miles’ mother’s home planet, that clone is considered his brother, and her legal son, as well as Miles. I found that a very interesting idea, considering that the clone of Miles was ‘produced’ and raised entirely without the knowledge of any member of the family. Nevertheless, Miles’ mother, Cordelia, aka ‘The Captain’ immediately accepts the clone as her son, despite not even living on Beta Colony any more. I found that a wonderful upholding of deeply ingrained principles, even with the irony that two books ago, she had to flee Beta Colony!
This series just keeps getting more and more interesting, as I mentioned in a previous review. I guess I may have to make time to read this book again at some point and then update this review. In the meantime, Fellow Readers, it was a fascinating and easy read, and I think I found it on the Open Library, so it was also easy to get ahold of, if you have time to read and comments on my rather lacking review with your own review ideas, please.
