Beautiful day ... today I took the "Moxinator" for a walk down by the lake. Found a stray tennis ball at the courts (a big bonus for her!) and stopped by at the community clubhouse to sit for a spell. The birds were chirping happily, though otherwise it was very quiet. Perfect.
Mister Bear (a Dan Dee 100th Anniversary teddy bear) serves as a greeter and tour guide in a vacation rental cabin.
Mister Bear is a "dump rescue" bear, found, perhaps appropriately, as bears are known to frequent such places, in a rubbish dumpster six or seven years ago.
Being a 100th Anniversary Teddy Bear, Mister Bear dates to around 2002, which makes him 21 years old now! Let the par-tay commence! He was found and adopted in Hatch, Utah.
Mister Bear's hat was purchased at a sporting goods store in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1982.
Mister Bear's rocking chair was given as a gift to my grandmother when she was three months old... which would have been in October 1912, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
So there ya go: over 110 years of history right there -- and all from years ending in "2." Weird, huh?
18 July - A Doll A Day 2023
The Sky Hermit guards the entrance to the Aloft Kingdom. The dark path to the realm can only be enlightened with his lighthouse. Not one single soul is granted passage without his permission.
His only weakness is sweet pastries.

The National Park Service employs a lot of landscape architects and a fair number of graphic designers. You see their work here - a design of the visitor center porch that is clearly intended to invoke a neighborly location in the American South from decades past. You wouldn't see this design in New Mexico or Montana.
A great chair at a winery from a few years ago. Makes me want to be sitting outside on a summer's day and be rocking away.
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Always when we had a encounter with the people of Cuba they were warm and very hospitable. This old lady has a special place in our heart after our meeting.

Megan and I met Danny on our trip out for photos today. He was selling firewood, jams, jellies, and honey. Megan purchased some of his blueberry jelly and really likes it. His store is off the road on Hwy 47 in Appling, GA. He moved there in 1968, and has lived here ever since. He has owned and operated this stand for 8 years now.
