My 2 cents about everywhere I travel and a few other things
I am staying one step ahead of my doppelganger. Just in case she tries to visit me before I am ready to leap into eternity, I’m prepared. If any evil is on its way, I’m prepared.
My bottle tree is sitting on my front lawn. I used blue bottles to attract the spirit, and get trapped inside one of them. There the spirit will stay until morning.
When the daylight comes and she can find her way out, the sun will make her evaporate and take the bad luck along.
Easy enough 🙂
The Attic Trophy sculpture by Seward Johnson quickly caught the attention of these two young folks at Harbor Town in South Carolina. Luckily they were accompanied by a “baby boomer”, that had a few twisted ankles, from practicing twirling and balance. “Hooping” was mostly done around the waist but the neck, knees arms, ankles were all challenged.
The Hula Hoop was introduced in the USA in 1958. It was made of a lightweight plastic and sold for less than $2.00. Sales exceeded 24 million.
The craze didn’t stop there. Hula hoop dance classes, exercise moves and music followed.
Today for less than $20 you can buy a Hula Hoop, an elastic bandage and hours of fun.
A step in the right direction….have a good day friends 🙂

Granny was having fun with the toy bucket while enjoying the sunset at the beach. The little folks were digging their toes into the sand as the warm salty liquid rolled over their feet. Quick, look up!
South Carolina’s handwoven “sweet grass” baskets date back to the 1700’s. The craft originated in West Africa and has been passed down through the generations in the Gullah Culture.
The weaves of this basket get their strength from the mineral-rich salt marshes of the coastline.
Bundled thin blades of the grass are coiled in circles to make the baskets. Visitors can easily find this treasured souvenir at the Charleston SC City market and shops throughout the area.
A great example of putting a natural resource to good use
