Serb Fest - Part 2



Last week we went to the Serbian Fall Festival at St. George's Serbian Orthodox church.  Today we return and go inside the church.  But first, lets see some of the outside activity again.  Since I have no particular knowledge of any of the features inside the place I will remain quiet as you look around and see the layout.  It was a beautiful place with lots of wood and note there are no pews but chairs are on the periperhery while the middle is relatively open.

Note the pictures of presumably past religious leaders within the small chandelier.



Another chandelier but quite grand and intricate.







Those Mexican kids still waiting their turn to perform. 




Spooky Rasputin look-alike holy man giving me either a blessing or a curse.   Only time will tell.

Center of the main room.


Chairs along wall are where congregates sit. 







My curiosity over the Fall Festival and the church was sated today.  Doubt if I go back but it was a fun way to spend a couple hours on a boring Sunday afternoon.

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.   

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
