It's snowing here today, so I'm wearing boots. And I'm taking issue with the fact that the flash on my camera seems to make all my shoes look kind of worn out, and they're really not!

Sara's collage. I added the yellow in the middle, because I thought it would look good, but she made the red and blue parts. I think I'll buy a frame and keep this as a memory.
Lillian: "SteamPunk can involve dressing up in late 1800s clothes like these or that bustle dress."
Audrey: "Hmmm - that is a rather odd shape, has Kim Kardashian seen these books?"
This is perhaps the most ornate Victorian house remaining in Grenada. The upper dormers are in the pointed Gothic style while the arched top windows are in the Italianate style. The lavish use of scroll sawn "gingerbread" distinguishes this house. Archival photos reveal such ornate highly decorated homes were once fairly common across the South but during the decades when everything Victorian was out of favor, those not razed were often remodeled or altered so that little remained of their "showy" designs. This fortunately, is an exception. One has to spend some time taking in all of the details (note the gable braces) to truly appreciate the complexity of this house. It's one of my favorites in Grenada.
I got my flu shot today and it HURT!! I couldn't lift my arm above my head but still insisted we go for our hour run. I made it but barely. Plus I injured my leg last week from running and haven't properly rested it. So I think I did more damage by trying to be tough stuff. No running for at least 5 days after today.
Today the little ones played so nicely together and we saw the most beautiful rainbow on our walk. But right now all I can think about is tomorrow - I'm awfully excited.
Probably dating from the 1870's when the Second Empire style with its characteristic Mansard roofs were in the height of fashion, this is the sole surviving representative of the style in Grenada. More would probably have been built but the 1870's were the period of "Reconstruction" in the (Civil) War torn South, so new house construction was sporadic. In the 1880's

In Grenada, the functional scroll-sawn gable attic vents often took on a secondary cultural, fraternal, or religious purpose as seen here. Grenada shares a Jewish heritage as do a number of Mississippi communities. Nearby Port Gibson has a very rare surviving Jewish synagogue from the 1880's. In most Mississippi towns, Jewish merchants, doctors, and professionals were accepted by their Christian neighbors. However, the Star of David symbols in the vents alluded to the religious affiliation of the homeowners. Other symbols are seen in the wide variety of designs in Grenada's historic homes. Today however, the Jewish congregations in Mississippi are very small as many have moved over the past decades seeking better economic opportunities in the larger cities.
