It's a Mickey Mouse World

There's not much to say. I think the video speaks for itself.

Forgive Me, Readers, For I Have Sinned.

It has been 6 months since my last blog post.

I have wonderful intentions of keeping this updated, but I seem to fall short on delivery. Here is time 47 (it seems) of my keeping up appearances.

I don't have a planned post for today, but since I was thinking about it, I decided to leave you with a little fun, courtesy of Snoop Dogg and the HBO True Blood series.

A New Leaf

Today, the family and I took the opportunity to get out and get a little fresh air and exercise. We live 10 minutes from Lake Thurmond, one of the major reservoirs on the Savannah River by the Army Corp of Engineers. We actually used to spend a good bit of time in the area, but 2009 was a really stressful and full year for us. Necropolis and I decided today was as good a time as any to make a change.

Necropolis, Things 1 and 2, Pearly Sue and I all trecked out to the Bartram Trail along Lake Thurmond and walked and looked.

We saw a LOT of pine trees, fallen leaves, and small granite outcroppings. Lake Thurmond is actually along the path of the granite vein that also created Stone Mountain, more than 120 miles away.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the foresight to bring trashbags. There was litter everywhere, and some of it too big to move, like this bouy.

While we were hiking I kept my eyes open for mushrooms, to share with my friend lisascenic. I had about given up on seeing any, and as we were almost back to the truck, I spotted these. I have no idea what they are, but I'm hoping Lisa will chime in here and let us know.

A Blaze of Glory

Just some New Year's photos to share. Blessings to you all.
