i saw this picture online today and absolutely loved it. a bigger version can be found here. you can just feel the passion these two people have for each other. there's so much about it to love. i hope you enjoy it, too.
if you haven't heard of garden and gun, you need to check it out. it's a relatively new magazine based out of charleston, sc dedicated to all things southern. "the soul of the new south" is what they're saying about themselves. i'd heard a bit about them, so when i saw it in borders, i decided to check them out. it's worth it, my friends. interesting stories, culture, food, music, a little fashion, some hunting and outdoor adventure stuff -- all based around the south. one of the articles in the issue i picked up was about "the lost confederados" -- the descendants of a group of confederates who left the south after the civil war and settled in brazil. i'd never heard of this, but apparently a lot of southern culture is still alive and kicking down there. random, right?
i got interested and looked them up on wikipedia (the source of all info on the internet :)). they still use the confederate flag in celebrations and for festivals they dress up in traditional 19th century clothes. in addition, they serve traditional southern food that has a "brazilian flare". i'm sorry, that's just amazing. and i want to go there now. anyone else?
it's labor day weekend. go party. relax. don't labor. spend time with people you love.
