wonders
My local newspaper recently had an article on the search for the new Seven Wonders of the World & the website where people can vote for their favorites. You may recall the original list with the Egyptian Pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon & other ancient edifices. All are gone except for the Pyramids. The website proposes forming a new list made of modern marvels, all of which are manmade, as were the old ones. Suggestions range from Stonehenge and Machu Picchu to Angor Wat, the Great Wall of China & the Eiffel Tower. There are 21 to choose from and all are presented with photographs & a brief history. At the website www.new7wonders.com you can tell them what 7 you think ought to be on the final list. You have to register to do this, but be sure to have your choises ready at that point, because you cast your only ballot immediately after registering. The decisions will be announced next year.

I found this site to be very interesting.
Did you vote?
What were your choices?
I haven't voted yet, because I'm still deciding on a couple, it's hard to select just 7. I know I'm definitely choosing Stonehenge as one, though.
Wow thats a neat thing to think about-I will have to decide. Hope it's warm where you are !!
I just found your other comment about the hispanic lady--I first said she was Mexican--she didnt speak any English. The only reason I said Mexican or hispanic was to describe the lady. And I think our elderly have ever right to a break on there medcine-they have worked all there life and deserve some compassion when they get older.
Sadness... I don't want there to be modern seven wonders!!
How have you been? Rommie is having a good Christmas season. She plays in wrapping paper and newspaper filling paper for the boxes. Silly piggers!
I wish you all the best at this wonderful time of year Happy Holidays. God Bless!
