A Heigh Ho Silver and Away.


 I'm indulging Mr. Me this month. 
We took these from the guest room and brought them out for us to enjoy.


The Remington sculptures are inherited from my father in law


Not exactly a Feng Shui kind of decor but without a den they had to go somewhere!  
We have had return guests so the thundering hooves haven't disturbed anyone's sleep.



  We love the recreated vintage photos
I didn't realize I had so many!  

These were taken when my kids were quite young and we only had three.
From L.to R.  Dianne, Billy the Kid and Shelly

This is me
Mr. Mr was not into dressing up for a photo but I was willing to go it alone.




 My daughter in the above photo, Shelly
has produced these two desperado's Kyle and Kyra,
Both of whom are teenagers today


 My parents started the fad
This was about 1977
I believe it was an anniversary picture.


The holster is vintage
The rocking cowboy is a toy from the Museum Store

I may tweak it a bit with some other items I have and maybe not.


Well, I did  lower the picture so we could see the sculptures better
and I think they almost look like they are a part of the print.


What do you think?

Wow! Those Remingtons are VERY cool - and I think your collection looks quite at home on that mantel - with the stone background, etc. Nice!

The mantel looks stunning with the Remington bronze pieces, and the picture above the mantel pulls everything together. Love all of your dress up photos of your family.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
