Wanna see some pics of an interesting little town?
Q
Comments (14)
Susan, the town just across the river is Paducah, Kentucky. It's in a *lot* better shape than Cairo, IL. I had a heckuva time getting people to talk to me when I first went to Cairo in 2003, to do research for my book. I've done a lot of traveling and a lot of interviewing, but I have *NEVER* seen such a tight-lipped bunch as the residents of Cairo, IL. And then I met a fellow-history lover who lived in Cairo and he introduced me around and got people to talk to me. He was an angel and a wonderful blessing. He showed me this huge cement slab on the corner of the main drag and a nice wide side street. It was once a busy intersection. He explained that this massive cement slab was once the site of the community swimming pool (in the early 1960s). It was "whites only" and when some black kids got in the pool, there was trouble. And then a black soldier was found hung in the local jail and riots started and the National Guard was called in to restore order. The race riots were awful and the town never did recover. Population plummeted and people just packed up and left. There's a book on this topic titled, "Let my People Go" and I have a copy (but I can't seem to find it right now" and it's a pictorial history of this awful time in Cairo's history.

Psssst, you wanna see an iceberg? (4 pics)

Thanks for some beautiful pictures, Casey. How shiny the one on the right is in the sunlight ... and the top of the one on the left quite gray. And a great contrast with the water. They're a lot like an ice cube in your glass - about 9/10ths under the surface. Slightly less so, as they're riding in salt water, which is slightly more dense. Where the ocean bottom is near the surface, they give it a good scraping as they pass, unless they ground. And as they melt, they can roll over, or a huge chunk break off which could swamp or crush a boat if it were in the way. Or, if a big chunk drops off, the wave can swamp a small boat even a quarter of a mile away, I think. Though, being silent, they provide a contrast to your average female ... ... but they have some things in common with many females ... ... beautiful ... ... unpredictable ... ... can be dangerous. ole joyful

Anyone wanna see pics of our new exterior paint color?
Q
Comments (11)
Thanks everyone! The main color is Shady Willow by Behr, and the trim is Nesting Dove. I love Behr. We had never used it for exterior before, but I started using it on the interior of this house when we moved in, and it just covers so well. The last time I painted the exterior of a house, I used American Tradition and there's just no comparison. Behr is much better paint. It's funny, because we have a stained glass side light that dh was not fond of, and actually wanted to take out when we first moved in. I liked that it was hand made, and so we kept it. Now that the house is painted, though, the side light looks a thousand times better. I'll add a picture of it when I get back from taking my son to preschool.

Wanna see some pics of my little house? (many pics)
Q
Comments (18)
Thanks for the many positive comments. Yes, I love my little shed. :) It's 8x12 (tiny) but I think it's just right. We've already had several neighbors ask about it. Ever since I was a kid, I've dreamt of having a little playhouse of my own. This "little mansion" went way over budget but I've assured my husband that when it's time to sell the house, that wee house in back will probably be a major selling point. It even has an attic with a ladder going "upstairs" and operable windows. I like to sit up there and just meditate on life. The deadbolt is an extra-security deadbolt and the little house is connected to the alarm system in our big house. We even had a house-warming party last month to celebrate the completion of our little house!! Here's a picture of the little house my first husband and I built for my two oldest daughter (built from a kit) in the early 1980s. The girls loved it - and so did the neighborhood kids. And now I have one of my own!

Two cuties! How do they get along? Who is Boss?

I'm starting to think your landlord was more interested in getting rid of the cats. You think?
