Makes me just want to go buy a bunch of miniatures

Saw this on the pin board and thought it was cool enough to share...

Yeah it's pretty cool right?

Although I'm not sure how they got the pieces to stay on top of the beer foam... :?

Anyway, not to change the subject, but thanks for your response on Bill's thread. I agree, we've got to lighten the tone of these boards up a little.

Speaking of lighting up the mood, I noticed Aiken SC weather looks to be pretty balmy according to my phone. Though it has hardly been frigid here, I must admit I've been yearning for another visit with my friend Fred in the near future...

I actually wanted to get together before Christmas 2016 but alas, time slipped right on by.

No problem I have been getting down in the mouth every time I read on the forum. Just too much negativity. :(

The weather has been warm as toast for most of the winter so far. But we have had some down right cold days too. This week the temps are expected to drop into the lower 30's and upper 20's. I bought a couple of heavy weight and long skirts for the cold but I have not had to wear them because of the cold. I have worn them to see if they fit properly for a couple of the cooler days. :red:

I was gone over the Christmas holidays. But I am looking forward to seeing you and Jenn again. I have some new clothes to wear too. New skirts and blouses. :thewave:

In re the organ: Very nice! But then again I've always liked those magnificent beasts.

I came across this on the Beeb site - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-39030785
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

I can relate. I'm a pipe organ technician during the week and a jazz musician on the weekends! :)
