And you came a laughin' down the bright highway

Today's blog update was a spur of the the moment decision springing from the simple fact that we realized we needed an update.
Our outfits don't follow a real theme because I(being Jessica in this instance), had drum lessons today so I had to forgo the usual dresses I would typically wear.
Trish on the other hand was on break from work and had on sophisticated work attire.
We  realized it was lunch time, but all we really wanted was something sweet and something caffienated so we headed to Rupert's Deli downtown for Coffee, something sweet, and friendly service.

hiding in shadows where we don't belong...

coffee with cream please....


The friendly staff behind the window. Trish happily points out our favorite waiter








We love this wall and staircase



So I'll demonstrate the happy side

Trish the contemplative side in her fur trim coat

acrobatic?

ruffles and scarfs, argyle and boots.

My sister's old shirt, and jeans that needed a belt.



'Till Next Time,
Trish and Jessica:)

She had ribbons in her hair, and lipstick was everywhere

Welcome to me(Jessica) and Trish's Gas Station!
Step back in time and enjoy the red lipstick

                                                               we run things around here


Our way or hit the highway






killer weeds


"I can't believe I have to clean this place up"

that tire had it coming...

Contemplating her life she decides to hit the road....

but not after finishing work.



we'll be waitin for you in the window

Down on the river the boat was a-sinking, she watched that queen go under

Hello and belated Merry Christmas to all.
Today is one of the coldest days in North Florida in recent memory. It looks very wintry outside and so, for once, we have on long dresses and skirts to keep warm.
What do we do when one of us is wearing a sparkly red Indian skirt and the other is wearing a faded antique wedding dress?
We go to the woods and run around in circles of course.
We both look a little like Stevie Nicks fans today, but it happens...
So because of this, every caption is a lyric from the 60s or 70s. If you can identify which songs and which artists you get bonus points.


All that's missing is a tambourine...

It don't snow here, stays pretty green
gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene
climbed a mountain and I turned around
someone told me there's a girl out there


with love in her eyes
and flowers in her hair


seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me.

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering. In the sun.

                          She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, Alone in the pale moonlight


Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler, said that he'd return tonight.

Evangeline, Evangeline. Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen, that pulled her man away


round about and everywhere sunshine instead of snow

caps of blue and silver sunlight for your hair

Was it just a dream, was it just a dream

seemed so very real, seemed so real to me

One more song about moving along the highway

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door
