My First Lego Creation

It is hard to believe that I bought this Lego Inventor: Wild Wind Ups (4093) in 2003 but kept it unopened for 7 years! Yesterday I finally decided to open it and spent a few hours building it up with my dear wife. It was a lot of fun. Without further ado, I present you: the Stirrer!

Djokovic Originally uploaded by nuance1979 The match between Roddick and Djokovic were pretty enjoyable. Unlike in a major event such as the grueling Wimbeldon final with Federer, Roddick was relaxed, even playful from time to time, as long as it wouldn't cost him the victory. Enjoying what you do and doing what you enjoy are typic...
