Boneyard Bike

Boneyard Bike, Jlinsnider Window, King St., Charleston, S.C.

I had to take a picture of this bike decorated with little bones and flowers in the window of Jlinsnider on King St.  I featured it once before here.

Comments about a recent entry on a Home for Funerals led me to google around to find out how they came to be called that rather than Funeral Home. I didn't find that answer but I did come across a collection of the Worse Funeral Home Names Ever.  They are probably nice folks but I can't picture sending a loved one to the Butcher Funeral Home. Yikes!

I put some pictures on Facebook and some here. I may have missed sharing my new swing! I just got back from an evening walk and spent a few minutes swinging in the dark. Nice. I may not have had the latest and greatest toys growing up, but my father always made sure we had the best swings in the neighborhood. Now I do again.


I had to stop in my tracks to see what on earth this was. What, what? A dried dead fish on a rope in the street.


Now for a prettier shot. I was out in the meditation garden at work the other day and came across these two gentlemen playing beautiful music. How fortunate am I to work in a place like this?


Home late this evening because I was directing a music video for work. Ha! I ain't never been a video director before. Thanks to all of my singers and actors! I had a patient in a bed, a singing doctor, back up singing nurse, a physician, housekeeper, a keyboard player and guitarist. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Dr. Corless? He was terrific! Wow, I love deep voiced singers. Jackie was our back up singing nurse.

I love the way the swing is already contoured to the part that uses it. 8-)

Great medley of photos of such varied topics! The swing is terrific and swinging to the music must be fun, too. Don't save your photos for FB, but share them all here. Can't abide the new CDP Facebook group; it's just not as much fun as the old portal. Dang it all!

Joan, my sweet, you already bent that poor swing!

Charlestonjoan said...

Hahah! It looks that way :)

Are you saying I have a Barrel Butt? :))))

I get more responses on FB. It is funny. Some shots get more attention here while they slip by on FB and the other way around.

That's an interesting looking bike...

Regarding the "worst names for funeral homes" - I saw Amigone Funeral Home listed on the link. I used to live about five or six miles from there, near Buffalo. Next time I'm visiting, I'll have to get my own picture of that sign!

As for the bike, I know there are lots of different fetishes, but a bone fetish is not one I have heard of before...very unusual.

I think the violin player is my neighbor. He practies on his pourch a lot. Sure does look like him. Pam D.

He is very cool. I went over to the Rehab Gym one day at lunch time and he was playing in the gym. It was so lovely.
