Shannon & Tim had their annual vacation (alone) so we got Lakota mid-day on Friday till mid-day today (monday). All was good though, well, other then the pure excitement from Perrin when they arrived. I had to take a breather outside alone while they played and screamed.... For the better part, Friday was rather uneventful.

Saturday however, was filled with much fun. I got up, played on the net till I had my fill of coffee, then went out to eat where I got the once again steal a lemon!

After that we came back and rode our bikes all over the yard, including the back and front fields. Here is Lakota working her way to the Pond. We parked the bikes by Twocan Tree (it's magickally protected to keep the bikes safe) and made our way around the back side of the pond, then up the side field. I called Hazel (the neighbors) and got permission to make it over into their fields as well. We made it all over our yard and theirs over the next two days, finding high adventure, hiding from Helicopters, and invisible terror-dactyls.

We also found several tracks...
Cletus
Deer
Bigfoot (really?!?)
and random monsters (monster track one, monster track two)

We named several of the places around the yard as well...
Twocan Tree, which is near Twocan Gorge, where cletus stayed at the top... It's over 6 foor deep at one point, and travels down to where Lakota had to cross over the muck and mud.

We made it to the furthest corner of the yard to see where the properties met. We named it "Fourth Corner Tree" which is near Fourth Corner Creek. One of the ways you can get there, is to cross over another brook near Annebelle Pond (which is not the big pond, more like a random large puddle). Once that is crossed you must then climb up a small incline and follow a horse trail which enters the wood along TwistKnob Trail (Twistknob trail marker)

On the other side of the yard, where we spent most of the time, we had to cross over Tweofalls Bridge, which is a neat root that crosses the branch between two small falls.

There were other names and places that we happened across, but those are the only ones with images...
Prickery Trail, which leads to the beginning of the creek which crossed through to the pond. (the direct route to Fourth Corner)
Dead Mans Walk (it's marked by a skeleton & briars) and is the long way to reach  the Fourth Corner.

We spent Saturday night in a tent near the fire, but only after we had Vickey & Norm over for some hot dogs & marshmallows.

Dec. 3rd, 2007 @ 08:23 am Dear Deer,
Tags: , , ,
Over the last couple of weeks Cyndi and I have been blessed with two people offering us Deer. The first one was huge and was around 120 pounds after it was beheaded, gutted, skinned, and front footless. We pulled just over 30 pounds of meat from it, and likely could have gotten more, but at the time we didn't have a meat grinder, so the trouble of getting any remainder meat was simply not worth the time or effort.

Lakota helped us with that one:
Graphic images under cut )

The second deer was significantly smaller, but did have it's head...well, most of it. LOL. The hunter shot it in the side and with a bit of bad luck exited the deer head side. This made the little 5 point buck worse then even a huge doe. The bullet went out between the antlers so there was NO WAY for a trophy, not head mount, no antler mount, nothing...nothing by a play thing for Perrin and some meat!

Perrin helped with this one:

Oct. 22nd, 2007 @ 11:14 am A trip to bear country
Current Location: Cades Cove
Inner Rhythem: The Skeeters & the Bedbugs song!
I had a great birthday Friday followed by a rather lazy Saturday, where one of the lazy things we did was head out for a bit of shopping. My mother and Cyndi were in the front of the van, and I was in the back. I was, for the better part, ignoring the conversation that was taking place till I heard those dread words…

Mom: I was thinking that today was nice, maybe we should have headed out to Cade’s Cove.
Cyndi: NO WAY! ~ I was thinking that exact thing!
Me: OH GOD NO… not again!

The conversation continued, and it was certain there could be no getting out of the trip, for tomorrow (which would be Sunday). I offered for them to take Amanda, so I could watch Perrin. They thought that was a wonderful idea, so they called Amanda to see if her AND Perrin could go. She could not because she is not into that whole two hour road trip to sit in the car for two hours to ride back for two hours thing. I offered to babysit for Amanda, but they said she didn’t need a sitter. So I offered for them to take Shannon, while I watched Lakota and Devin, but again, that was a no go because they called, and Devin could not make it, and Lakota and Shannon wanted to go. This left me excuseless, and along for the ride.

Oh well… I decided to make the best of it.

Cyndi & Shannon rode in the front, Mom & Perrin rode in the middle, and Lakota and I hung out in the back (near the snacks, but don’t tell anyone). We played a game to see who could find a certain car or a certain house (like a house with a green roof, or a bank, or a red mustang) so that pretty much passed all the time on the way there. It was a pretty good game, and we ended up tying as we pulled into the Cove, so we left at that, with two winners.

When we pulled into the cove, we pulled over, and I flopped the two back seats down so that Lakota & I could ride with the back up. From there on out I had the very most bestest of times! Even though we did not really see all that many Animals…in fact, we only saw a half dozen deer on two trips around the place. What made it fun was the “quality family time” that we all had.

Its a crazy day today, as nothing is as it should be. But sometimes that's not always a bad thing... for instance, I have Perrins car seat because I need to dive into Athens this afternoon to pick Cyndi up for work. So as I not only had a car here, I also had that car seat!

One of the things I've been wanting to do is take Perrin to the various playgrounds. To do that I needed to have both car & seat... So around 10ish I headed out to the playground near the landfill because that is one of the few I've not been too yet. Of course once I got there I found out why. It must be the worlds second worst playground in the world (1st place goes to all the places in the world without a playground). The reason it was bad was due to all the broken bits on nearly every piece of equipment. I had to keep BOTH eyes on him rather then the standard one...but that did not stop him (or I) from having a blast...

We played on the slide, then we tried out a spring loaded duck, then we played on the slide again. After that we tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to use the swing. Once we were sure we couldn't figure that out we played on the slide again. We also tested out the metal net thingie, and then tried to climb up the steel latter. We tried the slide once more, but I forgot to take a picture, but that's OK because we then headed over the to teer-totter and went UP and DOWN. We then ran though the big blue tube and headed back home...

All in all, it was a FANTASTIC hour of running around, laughing, and getting pebbles in our shoes.

Jun. 11th, 2007 @ 09:23 am A grand Pirate Adventure, a trip to the mall, and scary faces...
Tags: , ,
Lakota stayed with us for several days. She was, as always, a pure joy. Friday Cyndi had to do some training in some far away land so was late getting home from work, Lakota and I missed her very much and were grateful when she finally got here. We greeted her with hugs and kisses, then headed outside to build us a fort on the patio with tables, table clothes, chairs, and a few sticks.

Saturday the three of us got the chance to head back to that same far off land so we could go shopping at some rather nice mall. Amanda took us, and of course Perrin went.  Perrin was pretty good for a child his age, in a mall, and he got to play in some strange kiddie area for an hour or so, so I'm pretty sure even he went away a winner. Lakota got $10 to spend, which of course turned into more like $15 (plus food) but it's all good. I'm always glad to spend my limited cash on the grand kids... She got jewelry for the most part, some pretty blue butterfly stuff that matched her current outfit. We also stopped at a dollar store while Cyndi was off getting shoes. I got Perrin a rubber alligator that *SQUEAKED* when you squeezed it which kept him busy for a while, and I got Lakota a cell phone. We also got Smoothies and Pizza...

Sunday we went to Walmart to pick up a few things, and while there we played with one of those pin thingies that you can do neat hand prints behind. Guess who these people are: person one & person two.

 When we got back home Lakota & I went on a grand treasure finding adventure by following one clue after another that led us all around the yard to find a true pirate treasure. (I wrote the clues us a few weeks ago, and the treasure was two foam swords I got on clearance at a dollar store). In order to play pirates correctly after we found the treasure we headed inside to make some proper hats. Now guess the pirate: Pirate one & Pirate two). We also made a boat by taking a large box like thing and propping it up on an old antenna piece. This, in effect, made a gargantumungous teeter-totter which was REAL fun. I'll try getting pics of that later...

Once we got done with that we watered the garden with the nasty pool water, re-filled the pool, then get Cyndi to come out and play in the water with us.

This weekend was the very most bestest weekend I've had in a LOOOOONG time!

My birthday...

A few days before my 'big day' we went to local eatery for some good clean family fun...it was early because my parents were still in town and Cyndi wanted them to be a part of the celebrations. It was, for the better part, a WONDERFUL dinner... the only thing I really did not care for was the cheesy hat that Cyndi got me...

I'm mid-process of rearranging my photobucket.

Currently it's too confusing for me to navigate so I'm condensing, adding, and moving various folders. In the end, ALL the 'family' pics should be near each other, all the art/poem pics should be close, all the magic/sigil/tool/altar pics should be under the same area....currently all the groups are spread out...

This means that if I've posted it on the OF, chances are it's moved...and if I've posted it on LJ it's likely lost. Though, eventually, I may try running through my PIC tag here & fixing some. Though, while I'm in there, I'll likely delete a lot of pointless trash (like those hemorrhoid pics).

Not that I think any of you care or anything...but just in case ;)

Aside from bread & cheese choice, the best Grilled Cheese is the kind that oozes out molten yellow magma into your mouth with every bite, that's so hot it nearly burns, but cool enough to still be of comfort.

Life can be grand...though, sometimes when it's going good, it's too busy to take a moment & breath. Such is the life I've led over the last few weeks. I got OccultCorpus up and running and it's doing pretty good. We are averaging around 5 members a day still (well, 4.532 or something) but I'm not really complaining. I'd like more, but as they trickle in, it warms my heart. Aethermanas is working on a few expansion projects, which I'll get to implement in a week or so, and I've got a few side projects not looked into yet... It'll be more then just an occult forum.

My folks are down from Michigan, and while we've been grand hosts, I'm not really sure we're doing enough...though, I'm not overly bothered by it, as all they ever do at home is sit around playing digital Yatzee. My mom is great with Perrin and they've been having a blast. She's gotten him to count to 6 which is really cute, especially since he can't count yet *boggle*

They are both talking about moving down here which I think would do both of them good...though, heh...it may drive me crazy till they can find other people to hang out with. I don't think that'll be to hard, as they are already networking...they headed out to Crossville today to a nudist group...yeah, they are freaky like that ;)

We went to Cherokee last weekend, and while the trip was a bust for the most part, I did get a chance to ride black betty...proving once and for all that I AM A COWBOY!

Yesterday (9/11/05) Cyndi, Lakota, & I went on a road trip to Cades Cove. Lakota colored in her coloring book for most of the travel time so that kept her quiet & Cyndi & I sane Once we got up there the first thing we did was head to the gift shop so I could get a few things for my family back up in Michigan. Lakota wanted a stuffed bear but at gift shop prices we compromised at a picture When we were there a ranger asked if Lakota wanted to take a mini-class on bear handling. It was really cool...she got to use a blow-gun (which she blew a bull's eye), and also got to measure the ears, body, and other parts of the fake sedated animal.

After that we headed to henry Whitehead Cabin where I got pics from the front, and side. I even got one of a little building next to it. We had a picnic in the yard. Cyndi accidentally got a yellow watermelon but it was good anyway Especially when Lakota almost grabbed a spider while filling up on the melon. After we ate we got a few pics of us inside the house. Lakota was afraid to be alone in there so I was next to her through most of it. Cyndi and I also got the chance to sit next to the fireplace. I really liked the vibes coming out of one of the corners in there and would love to go back at some point Lakota however refused to go there alone.

Once we left there we headed around the scenic loop which seemed like road after road after road but was really just a winding circle. We stopped to see one buck, then stopped for two bucks (1st & 2nd). We also got lucky enough to see not one but two (or was it three) deer and a coyote pup. Sadly some of the deer pics did not turn out L )

We got tired of looking out over field after field and mountain after mountain so we headed to the picnic area that had a nice little creek. We got out feet wet for a bit...Lakota had a blast walking on water and so did I but I've already talked about all that...She had a blast playing on the large rocks about, but then again so did cyndi & myself. Though honestly Cyndi had more fun just playing in the water. Lakota was nervous crossing some of the slippery stones so I had to help her. Cyndi & I had a chance to lay down for a bit and look up through the trees...by the gods I love doing that.

We had to go after that though cuz it was starting to get rather late...and while Lakota was sad that we had to leave such a pretty place she thanked her Unci and gave her a kiss.

The Squirrel Saint has sung his tune
Of flowers at the end of June
The wind is wily, crickets sing
Remind me of the hell it brings
Evocation sacred rite
Set in tune at end of light
Entity in wisp of cloud
Secrets spoken whispered loud
Banished temple cleansed and smudged
Possession happened ~ Blotched and fudged
Now I sing that sunny tune
Of that which blooms in starry June

Shigawa could have helped me here
Now I fear the end is near
What I did I can not say
But now I know no other way
Can you help me (sinking fast)
In flowing current (toppled mast)
Of this but one recourse
From calling angels voice is hoarse
For now I know the sacred song
I learned it from something wrong
Now how I long to forgetWhen
December and June had met




Will you comfort help at last
Show me where I said miscast
I can not do this all alone
Read the cards or cast the bone
Anything I'll thank you surely
For my life is topsy-turvy
Of the secrets I'll no longer keep
Of their knowledge you will reap
Now all I ask is exorcist
For normal living ~ to exist
So will you help me with this fix
With broken rope and crucifix

For your help I thank you truly
Now of the secret I'll share duly
For in this contract I am bound
Now for this knowledge turn-around
There is an issue yes of course
I have to tell you with remorse
The song has left at your behest
I forgot it with your exorcEst
So do not hate me I have tried
I'll try again at summer's tide
And this time I'll do it right
Cuz now the Saint and I are tight.

If there is another one I suggest that more people show up. There is little risk...unless of course you are going as a 15 year old girl as your profile suggest (you sick-o 40 year old man) *smirk*

Doh, myself & Dragon of Light

And lastly the butterflies seem to follow me. This one was on a tree in front of the car as we were pulling away.

Well there ya have it...nothing about something :D Doh & Dragon are both GREAT people and if you get the chance let them know that...and more importantly if you get the chance meet them!
