My goodness! What flags are those and what is the one above American flag?

POW/MIA flag is on the left. It is not really higher, it just looks that way because of the angle of the camera shot.

Well they have a lot of nerve to advertise all that, lol. I do know the area has lots of Olustee Civil War Enactment actors in the area. Every year in downtown Lake City the whole town celebrates it. So no shortage of conderates for sure.
I was just surprised the flag positions. Or maybe it is customary to fly state flag above American, don't know.

You keep making me very homesick. :cry:. Not only is there not a single rock in this state, but also very few beautiful rolling hills either. Everything is rockless and mostly flat. I don't consider limerock rock.

PS Angie, nice job on the St Paddy's Day Doll.:thumbs up:

Yes a few places do have some nice rolling hills but none near us. Want a hill here and you best bring a backhoe or better yet bulldozer. But I do like Florida been my home off and on [ mostly on ] for past 45 years. Mama said I got sand in my shoes. But really it was all the water and seashores.

My goodness! Just like the house mama said we should have bought that is outside of Green Cove Springs,Fl. , Key Stone Heights I think it was. One of a few with a hill that steep. It was also close to the ICW aka St.Johns River. Love them hills.

I have thought that the shed home idea would work for many people, just as the tiny homes would. I know younger people (adults) who are struggling to find work that gives them enough income to keep their heads above water. There are many senior citizens who are struggling to make ends meet. I know some who have always spent every cent that came their way, with no thought for the future, so they have painted themselves into a corner.

The shed home gives some people a way to not be strapped to a large mortgage payment, but to be able to provide shelter for their family.

I do know that in some places each building on your property is taxed. Size and type of building makes a difference as well.

I think you are not alone! Some people are restless, some are always ready to try something new.

Did you sew the outfit? Which American girl doll is that?

This is a doll I bought with no hair or eyes. I sent her, a wig, and non AG eyes to a friend. Put her together and gave her face a touch more color. So she's a custom doll. And I did make the dress.

A woman I craft with buys ball jointed dolls from Korea that need everything like yours did. She pays around $300 for her dolls and has a few. They have nice clothing and she is always working on something for them. She does photo shoots of her dolls as well.

Your doll looks like an American Girl doll, probably the same size.

Oh, it is American Girl doll. Just one taken apart before I bought the body. I'm not sure, but she's probably one of the Truly Me versions. I have others that have the names and history.

That's strange. I have an Aunt that collects the dolls that look like real babies and are expensive too.
 
The last 2 pumpkins from our storage last year that we pureed today for the freezer in meal size portions for the two of us and we ended up with 6lts and I saved the seeds from these too for seed stocks for us to plant and some to sell on the internet too. These are called Qld Blue pumpkins here in Australia.
