Sis Draper



I am diligent at work this week. I hope everyone is proud. And I am off to Memphis at daybreak Friday - heading to a wedding. Good folks. Fine town. Deep river. Actually, it is over in farm country, Arkansas. Fields of wheat, chewing tobacco, and home-grown country girls.

As Shawn Camp says about his grandmama the fiddle player:

She stepped right up and sawed one off
And Uncle Cleve he dropped his jaw,
Said "she's the best I ever saw
She must be from Arkansaw"

A trawler? COuld you please tell me, why the photograph is cut on it's left side? Is there something missing?

doug, thank you kind sir; I wish I took it.

mago, these are the mysteries of the long gone. I wonder if it was part of a panorama? Perhaps. Thank you for stopping by.

Now Mule, be careful...remember last week´s headache and a read-up on the effect of alcohol on your performance skills, and you should be fine. I mean you shouldn´t drink and drive, how would you get those lovely home-grown country girls home before midnight?
Why? What did you think I was implying?

Oh a wedding! Does that mean there'll be more drunken debauchery as you pull a Minka?

Doug The Una said...

There was no text here when I arrived the first time. Maybe because you were working so diligently.

Go for something sepia toned.

The Old Mule said...

keshi, thanks, m'am.

minka, Can we have some kind of signal where you bail me out if I get in over my head?

neva, I laughed so hard at that! And long days make for short nights, right? Hope you have a fine weekend too.

jh, if I do end up pulling a Minka, I am sure my brother will post it on youtube.

doug, yeah I second guessed my diligence.

chewing tobacco and home-grown country girls, Arkansas wedding sounds like men's life to me. :)

I love the photos.

miss ariel, I am not the macho sort, but that doesn't keep me from a round of horseshoes!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
