These giant fake rocks are in the port of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. This port was enhanced after big storms destroyed much of the port infrastructure in 1995. These composite rocks help to protect the port from further water damage. Although I admire their ingenuity and practicality, they just aren’t the same as real rocks. No crags, no dents, no character. Poor rocks that aren’t rocks. They’re trying their best though; I guess I should cut them some slack. 😉 Have a wonderful weekend! Lisa
…this would totally be an awesome album cover! 😉 How cool are they?
Loving the sunshine this morning, even though it is single digits outside. We’re headed for a balmy 50 degrees F on Saturday, and I’m positively giddy at the thought.
May you all be stars today, may ice not form on your feet, and may the thoughts of Spring warm your heart. Slainte, Lisa
These five sheep came to rest on my mantle a few years ago. Our family has a great time moving them around into various sheep vignettes for our entertainment. (And for the sheep to have a change of scenery of course) When the manger scene came out of the box a few weeks ago, I thought about putting them away for the season. Mainly because if Mary and Joseph were this big and saw these huge sheep coming to worship, they would run for their lives! 🙂 But the sheep stayed, and so it is. And I’m not sure why, but things like this make me laugh. And that is a very good thing. Slainte, Lisa

This is it…I have discovered a have a particularly virulent form of the dreaded disease of pollitis. What is “pollitis”, you may ask? Quite simply, it is the need to publish and collect data on polls, but then NEVER posting the results for the blog readers. The polls just disappear into thin air, as if they never existed. The sufferer of pollitis feels more and more compelled to publish new polls, to see how their readers feel about all manner of things, and the cycle of the disease continues.
So today, I am making a big step in my recovery. I will officially reveal all the results of the past polls (at least the ones that I remember in my advanced stages of this disease). So read them if you are interested, ignore them if they are boring, but feel good that you are helping a pollitis victim recover. 😉 Slainte, Lisa
Postscript: In putting these up, I have discovered yet another facet of the disease…I do not know how to publish just the results. So unfortunately you must click on “view results.” Your workload has been added to, and for that, I am sorry. 🙂
There are more, but it is too embarrassing to continue….
