Nasty Crackers


While setting up this scene, we rezzed out the Tropicana Parrot Perch from The Home Store, and that bird is a talker ! Of course parrots always bring to mind the phrase “Polly wanna cracker” and then our mind warped that into “Filthy Hobbitses” from Lord of The Rings, and then that evolved into thinking about the possibility of a parrot saying “Filthy Crackerses”. Welcome to our brain, please do not stay long our liability insurance would never cover the cost of damages and we are full enough as it is !

Doggy Paddle


One of our favorite memories is learning to swim. Our aunt and uncle would take us to the lake and we would ride on our uncles back out to the big kids dock so we could jump in and he would catch us then hold us up while we doggy paddled back to the dock, until that time he didn’t.

What we had not realized on that final day, was that he had not had to hold us up at all while we swam back. Deciding it was time to let us know we were doing it on our own, when we jumped off the dock into the water, thinking he would be right there when we came up like always, only he wasn’t there ! He had gone back to the dock and was calling to us to swim to him.

At 4 years old, of course we panicked and splashed like our life depended on it, because to us, it did ! Now mind you, the distance between where we jumped and where he was was about 10 feet, if that. This was the late 70’s and we had no floaties or tubes, to us, it was swim or die time, and swim we did. Crying and near out of our mind we swam to where he was and were immediately picked up and sat on the deck.

we sat and then stomped around the deck screaming and calling him the meanest uncle ever. We told him how much we hated him and were never going to the lake ever ever again. He was laughing at us, and trying to tell us that we had been swimming on our own all day, we just never realized it. So he told the other kids it was time to go home, since we were so upset, and they all jumped off the dock and started swimming to shore, leaving us standing there in horror.

Our uncle swam about 10 feet away, telling us to get a move on or we were going to get left behind out on the dock and get very cold. We started crying once again, but we jumped in, and we swam ! We were about halfway back to shore, with our uncle always just a few feet ahead of us, but seemed like miles away to a four year old, when it clicked in our little brain, that we really were doing it ourselves. We were amazed and excited, we were so thrilled that we started laughing, and turned back around to swim back to the dock !

Laughing and following, calling to the other kids that they could come back in too, everyone went back to the dock, and continued to jump, splash and swim for several more hours. It was the 70’s, we swam or we died. We drank out of the hose, we rode in the back of open truck beds, we lived, or we died. Life was different then, and we grew up stronger for it, in some ways. There are other memories that do not have the same fondness, but those are not for this blog.

For today, happy swimming !

Appalachia


So, originally we had a whole idea for a write up for this post, to talk about the stereotypes that come to mind when you hear the word Appalachia. Most people associate that word with poverty, inbreeding, and the plot of Wrong Turn. Instead, we are going to leave you with something else instead.

All Roads Lead To Home


One of the phrases that gets said quite often when we are talking with Troy, about past events and situations that we have been through, before we were together is “and all the bad, lead us here to each other.” There are many phrases that sound quite cliche but the reason they are said as often as they are, is because there is so much truth in them. Another favorite is “We had to go through so much shit to get here because it takes a lot of fertilizer to grow something good.”

Speaking of roads and something good, Enaitch has released a new Streetscapes set which you can pick up this weekend with the SL Home Decor Weekend Sale at the discounted price before it goes up to its regular store price once the sale ends.

Daddys Work Assistants


When Daddy decides it is a good day to work from home, he gets all kinds of help from the very best assistants money can’t buy, but cheerio’s are acceptable currency. He can even get a scalp massage from our very own Ollie, while Elijah helps mummy fold the laundry and Zander supervises.

The poses shown are included in the bed’s menu, tho I have adjusted the laundry pose to the side of the bed for the photo.
