Music Monday ~ Digging In The Dirt

Image
Take this as literal, as in actually digging in the dirt and sand. The song relates to, as says Gabriel, "During this period I discovered the most unbelievable phenomena within myself, characteristics which I value for myself, but also characteristics with which I would rather not be confronted, like unlimited rage, or merciless hatred." But no such rage or hatred was involved in this digging. Only curiosity and awe at the finds. This led to research, a digging of sorts, for information on practices long changed and nearly lost. The site was next door to a cemetery, and after the earth and sand was greatly moved for a new development, these things were near the surface! Very interesting finds, and the mind does want the stories that go along with such things. Thankfully, hubby is a pro researcher, having the interest and curiosity to search and search until every possible thing is found out, every possible theory, scenario, etc. At times, it is tough to keep...

Music Monday! Drive

The perfect driving song, we listened to this on our drive to Greenville, NC. Last week was my son's college orientation, and we loaded up the car, and drove. It was the first road trip we have taken since we moved here, going on 2 years ago. It is a quite pleasant 5 1/2 hour drive, and after only 2 years in the mountains, we found it interesting how flat that side of the state is. (I was also surprised at the comfort I felt once we returned to the mountains.)  A beautiful campus, East Carolina University is in the small city of Greenville, NC , with the city population of only around 84,000. Compared to Asheville, the kids said it is flat and were surprised there were no tall buildings.  Pitt County Court House Greenville City Hall The highest building downtown is three stories tall. In contrast to that, the campus has dorms 10 stories tall. We all liked the campus though. Gorgeous architecture.  Cotton Hall, one of the oldest reside...

Halloween Toekini's!

Boo!   Are you ready for Halloween? Sure you may be, but ARE YOUR FEET?? It is right around the corner,  and to celebrate,  Raige has made some  FUN and SPOOKY Toekini's!! My regular model was at school,  so luckily, and spookily,  Bones stepped in to help.  Meet Bones, modeling some Halloween Toekini's His feet are incredibly small, so they didn't fit him right, but at least you get the idea.  In this shot, he is wearing the Pumpkin Orange on Black Toekini's. (Yes, he is short with incredibly small feet, so we tied them at his knee...not the ideal Toekini model, but you work with what you've got) Pumpkin Orange Toekini's He was a super model, really. The first set is not too scary, some festive Pumpkin Orange Toekini's.  Perfect for that hay ride, and bobbing for apples. Or even that barn dance party. Not too scary stuff. Batty Orange Toekini's But be careful of the bats in that barn. They can swoop right down ...
