How did Liza keep that shirt on??!!!
About to try the pool for the first time this year. Need the sun screen as I've already spent too much time in the rays with the gardening. Moved the soaker hose around, but leaving it on. It's not giving that much and the ground is REALLY dry. |

Good Morning Base Campers
Yesterday was a good day as deltavee decided to join us. One more Texan on board. Pheeew! Let's celebrate in style: Yellow Rose of Texas bjbdbest (Beverly the Best) of Team Discovery suggested we made a music and a poetry thread. The music thread is still up for discussion, but we made a poetry thread already. All you poetic Base Campers are welcome to dig out those poems from deep down in your drawers (not the underwear meaning of that word, but "the boxlike compartment in a bureau or desk" meaning) or just copy and paste the one that spoke to you in a special way at a certain time of your lives. Beverly - who writes poetry herself - shall hopefully post what she has written during the years. Looking forward to that. densnaps mailed me a link to YouTube. I'm sure you will choose nothing but British Airways ever after: Parody of British Airways Classic Commercial  Saturday, I couldn't help but follow the signs to Selsø Slot, a castle, I never visited before. It was built in 1576, and it has a lot of potential, but could need TLC in generous quantities by now. I know it's too early, but we may just begin to plan a Trek to keep our New Base Campers busy so that the do not defect .... |

Oh dear. What a wonderful flashback to their commercials.
Good thing that castle wasn't this side. We'd have torn it down and rebuilt nasty condos on the site at least 4 times by now! |

Probably.
 It sure had location, location, location It also had as a neighbor a Wildlife Refuge - so some condo restrictions may apply |

Oh dear. What a wonderful flashback to their commercials. Good thing that castle wasn't this side. We'd have torn it down and rebuilt nasty condos on the site at least 4 times by now! Very true. There was a local landmark in Colorado Springs called the Burns Theater. It was an opera/theater house beautiful built and with wonderful acoustics. It was built in 1912 and took ten years to plan. It eventually became a movie theater. The bank next door had it torn down in 1973 to put in a parking lot. People are still ticked off about it. It was so well-built that it cost the bank twice as much to demolish it as it cost to build it, and took weeks to come down. The 60's and 70's were a terrible time for old structures in this country. http://krccnetwork.org/tbs/2009/06/12/beautiful-photos-of-a-terrible-thing/ http://krccnetwork.org/tbs/KivaBurns6.pdf |

Love old buildings. Not always so much when they're so "preserved" that you can't live in them/use them.

So do I.
The one in the picture only had two or three livable rooms in addition to Denmark's oldest basement kitchen. The great hall is used for concerts of which they have five over the summer. Barocco played on the piano and violins and also vocals singing opera and operetettas. Might consider that if for nothing else because of the setting. |

Good Morning Base Campers
----------------------------------------I hope you all are well. This will be short but sweet. One of the few music experiences I had in my life was an outstanding concert with Oscar Peterson's Trio and Ella Fitzgerald in Copenhagen in 1964. I'll never forget it. Enjoy the trio in Night Train Just in case one lonely cruncher out there is looking for shelter, we'll take this opportunity to remind you that you are welcome to unpack your rucksack and pitch your tent as a New Camper in Base Camp.
