Secretary Desk Refinished

This desk was my grandmother’s Martha Talmadge somewhere prior to 1960. Then handed down to my father William G. Talmadge somewhere in the mid 70’s.  I remember this in my bedroom when I’d visit on the weekends.  In 2016 my father obviously got this crazy idea to paint it black and I think added the bottom shelf at that time.  I can see where a cross brace used to be, now this shelf.  He apparently found the wood (pine) for the shelf from something old from the Electric Storage Battery Company (now Exide battery company). He signed the bottom 2016 when he painted it.  After inheriting a few years ago and spending more than 30 hours stripping down and oil finishing it, it is now back, close to the origin condition.  They don’t make furniture out of solid oak anymore.

iPhone Stand – Cell Phone Holder

Here’s a little insider tip: Do you own an iPhone, Android, or another device that you’re constantly propping up somewhere? This exceptional solid steel iPhone stand will make viewing and using your mobile phone not only easier but also something you’ll miss when it’s not around.

Crafted from artistically cut and bent sheet steel, then powder-coated, this heavy-weighted stand won’t tip over. It features a stainless steel ball that allows for fluid movement for tilting and rotating.

This is a top-of-the-line product for a top-of-the-line person. And yes, it’s compatible with your Android and other devices as well.

South Carolina and Convention of States

While DeSantis is rightfully getting a lot of constitutional conservative recognition, South Carolina’s governor Henry McMaster’s mission is on the right course too, not to lose a country. Please support your state and our country before you don’t recognize it!

Crepe Myrtle Forest – Bonsai 

About a year and half ago I took the seed pods from our front landscape fuchsia crepe myrtle and stuck them in a brown bag. The following early spring (which is the end of February in Bluffton SC) I put a few of the million seeds I had in little seed pots. Well, last year they grew and I got about Ian 80% success rate and now have about a dozen of them about 10 inches tall.  Some made it back into the landscaping and a half dozen made it into this new creation of a Crepe Myrtle Bonsai Forest. During the seedling process I got a lot of moss collected in the containers and that I used in this display as grass.  Next year the forest will be ready for a shaping, but it looks great today. It came out pretty good as my 5th bonsai, with today adding 2 others to my collection, all from seed or saplings.

Alabama Plays in Savannah Georgia 2021 – Melody Mix

Melody video mix of Alabama songs – Tennessee River, The Closer You Get, Dixieland Delight, and If You’re Gonna Play in Texas.  Alabama is the band that I worn out a few cassette tapes in my teenage years, and yes I do still have their first 5 LP’s and more, and one duplicate still with the plastic wrap on it. And yes, all the LP’s have the original southern, confederate, rebel flags on them (insert eye roll). This concert had special meaning to us because while I have seen them numerous times in the 80’s, however Brandi has never seen them. We actually had tickets for the last 5 years and for some reason or another it got cancelled or postponed. The tickets we used to finally see them this time in 2021 in our favorite city of Savannah had a purchase date of 2018! Well worth the wait, enjoy our experience.

Then it was the mask police.

Now it is the vaccine police.

I thought everyone was for defunding the police?
