Brevard Project 365 – Day 266


… today was last day of auditions for the reality series… and here are some snapshots from throughout the day… first one here, Gucci, who accompanied her mom (Annie Martin) to the auditions…

 

… Madrid, Tammy, and the intern partaking of hula dancing lessons from auditioner Jacolyn Campbell…

 

… learning how to “duggie” with a couple Brevard College students who auditioned (Willie Jones & David Lackey)… their friend, Mark, was off to the right…

… Tammy practicing hula in the hallway… :-)

I stopped by the new 9/11 memorial by fire station today…

 

… so sad to be reminded of that horrible day…  that morning I was scheduled to have a 9am conference call with someone…  and found out later his wife and mother-in-law were on that first plane to hit the towers…

Meet the plumbing lady!

… Matt and I were in Harris Hardware today and I decided I wanted to meet this “plumbing lady” I keep hearing so much about around town!  Well, here she is… her name is Barbara.  The plumbing lady knows more about do-it-yourself plumbing repair than anyone else in town apparently… go, Barbara!

It dawned on me today…

… unlike anywhere else I’ve ever lived, I visit our downtown area on a near-daily basis here in Brevard.  Walking the sidewalks of downtown are a part of my day-to-day … and I love it!…

… only the best “all natural & no preservatives”corn for our squirrels!  I used to feed them shelled peanuts from Ingles ($7.98/bag that lasted 3-4 days), but switched to this corn from Ace Hardware ($2.19/bag that lasts three weeks)… that’s a $56/month savings!

Brevard Project 365 – Day 233 – Poppies special edition

… the old Grover’s Supply space on Main Street… I think this would be a perfect place for Poppies to relocate (do not get me started on the tacky way they’re being forced out of their current store space on Asheville Highway)… I for one, will not be shopping at the organic foods store that’s moving in to Poppie’s old space. Was anyone else offended by that article in the paper this week where the owner of the old Popppie’s location was interviewed? Wow, in the span of what was probably a 5-minute interview, he likely succeeded in offending the entire community of Brevard. Way to get the community excited about a new store… not.
