The military uniforms displayed in this case date from late 1945. The Manhattan Project shoulder patch on the left shoulder of each indicates that the wearer had been assigned to the Manhattan Engineer District, the secret organization that produced the atomic bomb.
Both jackets on display are the Eisenhower or "Ike" jackets, This style was named for General Dwight Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II. He had the design of the original World War II uniform modified to make it shorter, more comfortable, and more stylish. Ike jackets soon became standard issue for U.S. troops.
This taupe jacket and cap belonged to a member of the Women's Army Corps. The brass button on the cap is the insignia of the WACs- Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of victory and wisdom, who stands for strength and intelligence in warfare.
The WAC jacket and cap have been loaded by Debbi Wersonick.
Overbridge is a 70-acre natural area located in Rutherford County approximately eight miles east of Murfreesboro. It supports a globally rare Middle Tennessee cedar glade ecosystem that provides habitat for six state-listed plant species, as well as, leafy prairie clover (Dalea foliosa) and Pyne's ground plum (Astragalus bibullatus), which are both federally endangered plant species.
The natural area has a small stream running through it called Dry Creek. The east section of the property contains most of the cedar glade with some barrens occurring where deeper soils support perennial grasses like little bluestem and side oats grama. Both the cedar glades and the barrens are surrounded by patches of eastern red cedar and mixed hardwoods which include several oak species like chinkapin, post, and Shumard's along with blue ash, winged elm, and southern shagbark hickory. These are typical tree species associated with cedar glades, and they are usually stunted due to shallow soil conditions and drought conditions that maintain the openness of the glades.
A few small farms and single-family residences surround the natural area. It had once been part of a 260-acre farm owned by Overbridge Cattle Company and it was purchased by the State during foreclosure procedures in 1993. The Nature Conservancy of Tennessee has also been active here, and has assisted in protecting Pyne's ground plum by fencing the area. Management needs require control of invasive species such as common privet, Queen Ann's lace, and common teasel.
Our trip to the pumpkin patch was delayed this year by our Europe trip. Better late than never!

Pattern: Ski Beanie, from Son of Stitch n' Bitch book
Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca, black and yellow
Needles: Size US 5 circs
*Bought the patch at an online fan store. I have another one for a hat for me...

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: It was the last weekend in July 2023. Going down one of the first aisles at the flea market takes us within view of the next aisle over, where the lady we bought Lindsey from usually sets up. Because her items are often either top affordable dollar or unreasonably priced, we don't usually look at her dolls. So, what we typically do is take inventory from a distance when we go down the other aisle, then we don't go directly past her table once we're actually in the other aisle, unless we saw something worthwhile from a distance. We noted that the seller had an African American Cabbage Patch on that last Sunday in July 2023. We decided to take a closer look. We both really liked this little guy and thought he was absolutely adorable. And he was dressed in authentic Coleco clothes! We didn't ask the price right off, but figured that, if we didn't find much else, we'd double back. After buying a group of Barbies for a dollar each, we did double back. The lady wasn't at the table, but her husband was, but he didn't know the price, so we waited a few minutes for her to come back. She said she'd normally sell him for twenty, but because she knew we'd give him a good home, she let us have him for fifteen! I absolutely love his hair! The texture is amazing! I also love that he uses the #3 head sculpt with the one dimple. He is so charming! We named him Nathan, in honor of someone I am very fond of. The name is perfect! Little Nathan has mismatched feet--his toes have come unsewn on one side. But that is okay--you can't tell when he wears a footed sleeper or shoes. For the first two years we collected Cabbies, my dream of having an African American one was unfulfilled. I feel so lucky that cute little Nathan has filled the void! We actually bought Sheldon from the same lady, about two years prior. They were the same price. It is hard to say who was the better deal--Nathan is full sized and was full dressed in this adorable Coleco outfit. He is an AA doll and was released the first year of Coleco Cabbies! Sheldon is a Preemie and was wearing an odd assortment of clothes (including a pair of authentic CPK girl tights), but he is really unique too. I haven't come across another Preemie with the smaller head, sweet smile, and green eyes. They are both very handsome little boys. However, as much as I adore Sheldon, I think I like Nathan even more!

dad's army patch. he flew around in a helicopter, dropping propaganda on the vietnamese. Hence, litterbugs.
22.5 lb 6-8 yo black and white cocker spaniel. He came in severely matted and was scheduled to be euthanized for lack of space. A kind soul pulled him to a kennel to save his life. He has been boarded for over 4 months now. 2 years Rabies vaccination 7/10/09. He interacts well with other dogs and people, and loves to romp and play.
Update 7/12: Patches went to church this morning - socializing with a lot of children and adults. The sermon was about promises - the 2 different kinds (relationship and performance-related). I thought that Patches was the right dog for this sermon. He is about forgiveness, and both relationship and performance promises. A few interested people from the church - the question being whether he wants love and attention more, or exercise more. Some of the people who want to adopt have a backyard, but have broken bones in their feet and can't walk very well. Patches doesn't know commands yet, jumps up on people, and will need work with house-training. A really nice disposition both with other dogs and people.
Patches went into a temporary foster home for 2 days this afternoon. We need an adoptive or foster home by Tuesday afternoon, or he goes back to WV.

i almost think we should have it "stuffed".
My pretty cat Patches.
Halfway between a kitten and a full adult cat. This is the sweetest little fur ball!
I also found Patch at Goodwill today...I almost didn't see him cuz he was sort of hidden away on a shelf with some Fisher-Price stuff.
I think Patch is probably the third orca plush I've found at a Goodwill...I found a Free Willy plush by Dakin back in 2007, I found a small SeaWorld orca plush at another Goodwill back in 2009, and I found Patch today.
