HAPPINESS IS EASY
by Talk Talk
Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Joy be written on the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame
Happiness is easy
Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
From love & conviction to pray

At last almost all the snow is gone, the ice is off the ponds and streams and Spring is beginning. Many weeks later than last year, but she seems not to care... :)
About three months ago, my sister discovered this beautiful 1955 Dodge Jobline pick-up truck in a local Charleston newspaper. Knowing how much I'd always dreamed of owning a 1950's red pick-up, she rang to tell me about the listing and I located it online. We talked about how beautiful it was and of all the things we'd love to do with the truck, but the price was simply too high and over time, we soon forgot about her.
Then, about two weeks ago, our Granny passed away and I found myself back in S.C. for her burial. One day shortly after, with emotions still at an all-time high, my sister and I decided we would go kayaking where our Granny and Grandpa were born and raised. It would've been a great trip, except none of the weather forecasters had predicted the severe thunderstorms that ensued and we quickly found ourselves in need of alternative plans. What better to do than shop, right?
With our trip canceled, we found ourselves riding around Mt. Pleasant with a ridiculously large two-person kayak on our roof and "nothing" to do. I mentioned thinking it would be nice to go back and check out this 1960's “Endless Summer” type canary yellow station wagon we’d passed the day before, so we headed to the garage where it was parked. After perusing a wide array of vintage vehicles, we made out way to the garage and struck up a conversation with the mechanics. We inquired about some of the vintage vehicles and mentioned we’d found a red 1950’s red pick-up a few months back and asked if they’d ever seen one. They mentioned knowing of both a black and a white 1950's truck, but no red one. As the conversation neared the ½ hour mark, one of the mechanics remembered he’d seen a red 1950’s pick-up parked at a law firm not far from the shop. As soon as he said this I thought (and my sister claims I said out loud), “That’s it!”.
After getting a few other places / people’s names who might know where to find a 1950’s pick-up, we took our chances and headed to see the truck the mechanic had mentioned seeing "a while back". We had nothing to lose by looking. As soon as we saw the vehicle and drove around the back-end, I knew it was the same one my sister had found three months prior. On the driver’s door window hung a sign advertising a slashed price and a phone number. After taking some photos and checking out the vehicle, my sister rang the listed number. We’d both just assumed the truck belonged to a man, so when a woman answered, she was surprised. After speaking for a few minutes, it became clear the voice at the other end was not going to “hand the phone over” (to a man). So, my sister asked, "Are you the owner?", to which the woman replied, "Yes!".
Needless to say, I think we were all a little surprised. The owner - Christine - explained she'd moved to Charleston from NYC to get into the bakery business and had bought the truck to "pick up men" – yes, that’s why she’d gotten it. At this juncture, my sister looked like she'd seen a ghost. There were several reasons for this "ook". One being, she’d been born in NY and two, her sister (that'd be me) currently lives there. Thirdly, she'd been trying to figure out how to transition out of a career in radio and was thinking of starting a baking business! I'm not kidding. When she asked Christine if owning the truck had indeed helped her meet any men, she said it hadn't, but that the truck had been rented quite a few times for photo shoots and commercials. Gears in our heads quickly began turning. And Christine was so happy that women were calling about the truck because she specifically wanted to sell the truck to a female. She told us to go into the offices and get the keys to go for a spin.
She’d also mentioned the mechanic who’d worked on the truck was close by and told us where to find his garage. After going in and speaking with a lovely woman who had some problem locating the keys, we went back outside to wait. After a few minutes, the keys arrived and the girl mentioned if we could wait, that the mechanic who’d worked on the vehicle would be coming by to pick both she and her Mum in a few minutes. Huh? Why?!? Because the mechanic was her father! When we heard this, it was like a bolt of lightening had struck. How was it possible the mechanic we’d just been told about and whom we were going to go visit would be coming to us? Things were just getting too weird, so, of course, we waited. It seemed kizmit was taking over at this juncture.
It had been a while since I’d driven a standard, though it’s been my main transmission for the majority of my driving years, so I wasn’t too worried. And, my sister had learned how to drive a standard shift on a tractor on someone’s farm, so between the two of us, we thought we’d be okay. Not long after, the mechanic arrived. If seemed the truck hadn’t been started in a while, so he had to jump-start her and we all piled in. He took us to a nearby car park and we drove around back to an empty area. My sister decided to go first and we all had a really good laugh. Next, it was my turn and after the mechanic properly explained the H-gear pattern, I did an so-so job with the ½ ton, no power steering, no power breaks slant V6 badass – though this isn’t to say it wasn’t nerve-racking as hell! Not only was she extremely difficult to maneuver, but somehow driving her made one’s hands completely black and at some point, we’d all touched our faces and had black marks all over ourselves and our clothing. We looked like Al Jolsen in his black-face – except, in reverse!
After returning to the law firm, we said we’d be back in a few days. We spent a day trying to figure out how we could make getting this truck happen and returned to take (what we’d already named) “Big Red” to a few mechanics shops and restoration experts the following day. Before getting out on crowded main roads, we decided to get some more practice driving the truck and so, after some quick cleaning of the windows and interior, we headed back to that nearby car park.
It’s a good thing my sister had learned to drive on a tractor, because on this particular 97degree afternoon, “Big Red” was akin to driving around in a 1/2 ton tractor. Driving Red was roughly the equivalent to taking part in a triathlon in 105 degree temperatures. Because she’s so hard to drive, on one occasion, I had to grab the giant wheel and help my sister make a turn! Yes, it took two of us and we’re both over 5”10, with plenty of muscle. Oh how I was beginning to appreciate power steering!
Jerking in-and-out-of all three gears, my sister finally stalled Big Red for a second time - sending us to a halting stop. Sweating and dirty, she screamed out in frustration, “Oh my God, I can't do this! We’re crazy! This is never going to work!”. Searching for the inspirational words an older sibling is supposed to have at the ready, I turned my head and spotted this white big rig parked just beside us and nearly fainted. For, it was a Cardinal line truck with no more than two cardinal emblems – one on the cab and one on the trailer - emblazoned upon it.
You see, our Grandfather, who had died when we were very small was a country boy (related to Swamp Fox - yeah!) and his favorite bird was the cardinal. We know anytime one crosses our paths, to pay close attention. Gasping, I directed her attention right toward the “cardinal spotting” and we both nearly lost it. Tears welled up in both our eyes. My sister then took a deep breath and said, “Did you see the pair of cardinals fly past us as we drove back here?”. I hadn't and said so, but quickly grabbed my camera to capture the rig carrying the cardinal message from our Gran.
While neither said so, in that moment, I think we both knew we'd buy the 1955 Dodge- even before we took her to get checked out. Can't go against the elders, right? We offered nearly half the original price and Christine accepted. So, if for any reason, you’re in need of a classic 1955 Dodge pick up truck in fire engine red, you know who to contact!

I wrote this in March last year, and rediscovered it today:
"I turn my head to look at you, and I notice how I perceive you differently. Your profile, your gaze when you feel unobserved, the way you remind yourself that you're here and you're tired and a little drunk, but you're here. And so am I, here with you, here with us, the way we turned out to be. And as I smile at you without you noticing, without anyone noticing, I realise how what I do, what I've become, isn't for anyone but me.
And quietly, I decide that this is my place to be, the right one for me, and to grow, in a way I thought I'd never turn out to be."
These clogs are not for sale, this is not even a shop. Yes, I own all those clogs (23 pairs !) that I wear on a daily basis.
I prefer classic open clogs, though I own 4 pairs of closed back clogs (when it rains). I like to have them with a reversible strap but I usually wear them without the strap.
Most of my clogs come from Berlin Clogs (/www.wooden-clogs.com/index.htm). The rest come from Internet or from Paris (where I lived some years ago).
If you want to know about my other shoes, I 've got a pair of Doc Martens, a pair a kickers (a french brand) and a pair of vintage Adidas Trainers. That's all!...
Took this in a very upscale boutique/store called *Free People* where my daughter loves to shop. Was a great opportunity to get her a gift certificate so she can purchase exactly what she wants!
It's also owned by Anthropologie, so, of course, is a favorite of mine!

In my own mind I have no doubt that we would have summited if we continued. The weather at that point was as good as we could have expected albeit a little breezy and cool. With the forecast for bad weather and strong winds 'later in the day' whatever that really means, would we make it out?
The descent was more the issue for me than the ascent. None of us had been here before and looking down on the ridge that we were to descend was, to be quite honest, pretty daunting. Is this the sort of descent that we would risk doing in bad weather? No thanks.
The ropes attached and packs lifted we took our first steps away from the summit. I felt a certain emptiness. So here we were, the three of us, heading down a steep ridge toward a sea of cloud waiting below.
The ridge though was a pretty exciting view. I couldn't believe that was our path out. Ion was off without a hint of hesitation. This was his element. The Romanian cowboy seemed well at home on this rock and snow ridge and with confidence started the descent. I was nervous but still excited at the route. The drop on either side of this ridge was...well, check out the photo!

Partial view of the cloister of the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, Huesca, Aragon, Spain.
ORIGINS: The Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña located in Botaya, southwest of Jaca, Huesca, Aragon (Spain), was the most important monastery in Aragon in the High Middle Ages.
A good number of kings of Aragon were buried in its Royal Pantheon.
It is part of the Aragonese Way of St. James.
Its location is extremely unique.
Legend has it that a young nobleman named Voto (in some versions, Oto), was hunting in these parts when he saw a deer.
The hunter ran after the prey, but it fled and when he reached Mount Pano, he fell off the cliff.
Miraculously, his horse landed safely.
Safe and sound at the bottom of the ravine, he saw a small cave in which he discovered a hermitage dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and, inside, he found the corpse of a hermit named Juan de Atarés.
Impressed by the discovery, he went to Zaragoza, sold all his possessions with his brother Felix, retired to the cave and began a hermit life.
THE HOLY GRAIL: According to the Spanish legend about the Holy Grail, it remained in the monastery, after passing through various locations such as the cave of Yebra de Basa, the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa, the church of San Adrián de Sásabe, San Pedro del Real Sitio de Bailo, the Cathedral of Jaca, from 1071 to 1399.
The need to attract pilgrims to Santiago who passed by the nearby road from Jaca to the monastery advised that the relic be located there.
In 1399, King Martin I took the sacred vessel to the Aljafería palace in Zaragoza, where it remained for more than twenty years, after a brief stay in Barcelona, accompanying the king and later transferred to the Cathedral of Valencia.
The first place in Spain where it was celebrated with the Roman Christian rite was in the Kingdom of Aragon in this monastery of San Juan de la Peña, on March 22, 1071, during the stay of the Holy Grail in the monastery and then it was made official in the rest of the kingdom, replacing the Mozarabic Christian rite.

UN MONASTERIO BAJO UNA PEÑA, 2019
(De mi propio Archivo Digital de Imágenes, año 2019)
Vista parcial del claustro del Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, Huesca, Aragón, Spain.
ORÍGENES: El Real Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña situado en Botaya, al suroeste de Jaca, Huesca, Aragón (España), fue el monasterio más importante de Aragón en la Alta Edad Media.
En su Panteón Real fueron enterrados un buen número de reyes de Aragón.
Forma parte del Camino de Santiago aragonés.
Su emplazamiento es sumamente singular.
Cuenta la leyenda que un joven noble llamado Voto (en algunas versiones, Oto), venía de caza por estos parajes cuando avistó un ciervo.
El cazador corrió tras la presa, pero esta huía y al llegar al monte Pano, se cayó por el precipicio.
Milagrosamente, su caballo aterrizó sin problemas.
Sano y salvo en el fondo del barranco, vio una pequeña cueva en la que descubrió una ermita dedicada a San Juan Bautista y, en su interior, encontró el cadáver de un eremita llamado Juan de Atarés.
Impresionado por el descubrimiento, se dirigió a Zaragoza, vendió todos sus bienes con su hermano Félix, se retiró a la cueva y comenzó una vida eremítica.
EL SANTO GRIAL: Según la leyenda española sobre el Santo Grial, éste permaneció en el monasterio, tras pasar por diversas localizaciones como la cueva de Yebra de Basa, el monasterio de San Pedro de Siresa, la iglesia de San Adrián de Sásabe, San Pedro del Real Sitio de Bailo, la Catedral de Jaca, desde 1071 hasta 1399.
La necesidad de atraer a los peregrinos a Santiago que pasaban por el cercano camino de Jaca al monasterio aconsejó que la reliquia se ubicara allí.
En 1399 el rey Martín I llevó el vaso sagrado al palacio de la Aljafería de Zaragoza, donde permaneció más de veinte años, tras una breve estancia en Barcelona, acompañando al rey y posteriormente trasladado a la Catedral de Valencia.
El primer lugar de España donde se celebra con rito cristiano romano es en el Reino de Aragón en este monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, el 22 de marzo de 1071, durante la estancia del Santo Grial en el monasterio y después se oficializa en el resto del reino, sustituyendo al rito cristiano mozárabe.

(three more photos 'of this sail-ship' in the comments)
****************************************************************************************
The tall ship Schooner Jolly II Rover was designed by Naval Architect Meritt Walter as a mercenary vessel and was built in 1994 by Bock Marine of Beaufort, North Carolina. The Rover’s hull is constructed out of steel and at 80′ long with her trademarks sails, topmast and square rig she is a magnificent sight under sail as well as sitting quietly dockside.
The amazing Schooner Jolly II Rover is proudly owned by Bill Malone and is operated out of Key West’s Historic Seaport. He purchased the Jolly II Rover in 2003 to fulfill a lifelong dream of operating a classic, square rigged, topsail schooner.
At the time of purchase, the Jolly Rover was in Fort Myers, Florida. With the help of enthusiastic friends, Bill sailed the Jolly Rover back to his adopted home of New Orleans. With his new team, “The Pirates of Lake Pontchartrain” he offered day and evening sails on Lake Pontchartrain with daily sailing trips, sunset sails and sailing charters.
Several years later you could say that fate intervened. Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans and blew the Jolly II Rover back to Florida where the tall ship belongs – among the traditional sailing ships, both mercenary & merchant, of the Historic Seaport of Key West.

Outside, the rain and snow mix together to create sleet and the storm's going hard. But its days like these that we like to curl up in our own little corner at home and read together. I love the sound of the storm but I love the sound of his voice more.

My own Balrog diorama. It's about 1300 pieces (with base), 40 cm tall and it has custom wings, movable head, arms and legs. I managed to solve the lighting with the upper pose of the head and don't need to push any buttons to turn on or off the lights. Fire lighting is given by four LEGO LED lamps built in the base. This is the resoult, edited with photoshop. I hope you'll enjoy.
