The picture doesn't do them justice.

   

Sometimes I participate in a discussion group.  One of the things on the agenda was a name change.  The facilitator of the group placed these little signs on the tables to help new people find the group.

“Do not let your eye be drawn by the false beacon lamps of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.” - John of the Cross

Simplifying my life is something I've been working on for a couple of years now.  In some areas I've made great progress.  In others, not so much.  

In terms of possessions some rooms are almost totally empty.  The shop building looks like I've done nothing.
A work in progress and time is running out.

Jesse, Christy, and I went for a jeep ride through Holly Springs. We stopped at the historic Baptist  church and cemetery to take some pictures and look around.   Some say the area is haunted.

The old outhouse has seen better days. 

  

Old and New

 Someone added a more modern headstone to this old stone grave.

The headstone says

William Maherg
July 22, 1790
Dec. 8 1862
He selected the cemetery site 

and was the first to be buried here

Earlier, I saw one of the local fire trucks parked in front of the grocery store.  There didn't seem to be anything going on that would require firemen.

I find it interesting the things people leave in the wrong sections of the store.  That might make an interesting series of photos.

I didn't take any pictures today.  I can hardly believe it.
After a ten hour work day I wasn't even interested in taking pictures or doing any of the huge yard to do list.

The Naked in a Train expedition visited the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.
Here are a few more photos from that adventure.
   




 When I was a small child sitting on the dock, a gar swam up to my foot which was dandling in the lake. Scared me to death.  lol

One of the joys of living in the country is the (sometimes enforced) slow lifestyle.  Another of those joys is the variety of vehicles on the roads (especially in the warm months).

Christy's iPhone and my Lumix laying on the park bench in her yard.
Cell phones become more like cameras and cameras become more like cell phones.  This morning I read about the new Nikon Coolpix S800c, the first Android-powered camera.
  
I love Jesse' rug.  He has a fun time playing cars on it and so have I.  Check out that shark in the lower right hand corner.

 Jesse having a wonderful time playing in the water.

   No, just a Mothmanic.

   

Faced any fears lately?  Had any adventures?  Take a look at Carly's blog: Do One Thing Everyday That Scares You.

      

I just couldn't pass up this followup on body painting.

If you've followed this blog much at all you know Christy, Jesse, and I play a lot.  She was changing Jesse' pullup in the jeep and putting a clean one on their heads became the game of the moment.

Fun times!

Life. Wonderful, strange, kooky, glorious life!

I went to stores two days in a row.

 Both times they were stocking and there were pallets everywhere.

None the less, it was a fun time.

Even the cakes were happy.

With high hopes, we headed to the Coosa Wildlife Management Area to view the Perseid Meteor Shower.  We stopped at

so Christy could get a drink.

  

Even though it doesn't look like it from these pictures,

  

the place was really crowded for 1 a.m.
