Goodnight and Goodbye...

...but not really! I've just created the "next generation" of this blog, called Tinoose's Other World 2 due to some formatting and upgrading concerns, the availabilty of newer and better tools (and a fear of screwing things up with an upgrade here), and a general reluctance to the idea of updating and fixing each and every posting on this blog. (LONG story, you can read part of it here.) This World is now officially retired. Please visit my new blog if you still love my dolls! It's been such a joy sharing this part of my life through my very first blog! Long live Blogger! Ho!

Snow Mountain Ranch October 9-11th

Ahhh... at long last, I enjoyed a much needed and yet all too short getaway to the mountains last weekend. We ALL had fun, but let's focus on my perfect traveling companion, Bongie!

It was a little chilly up at Snow Mountain Ranch, but nothing that this little power-house couldn't handle (and still look cute, too!)!


The scenery around our cabin was fabulous, so we didn't have to wander far for some great photo ops! Below is the view looking kind of in a north-easterly direction towards the main Administration area of the camp.


Looking south-ish from our cabin, which by the way, was the Hermosa.


We got up to the mountains in time to still enjoy the lingering fall colors, and our cabin had little aspens surrounding it on 3 sides. Below, Bongie enjoying a introspective moment with her little pig:








Enjoying hot chocolate outside the Hermosa...



More hot chocolate, and lunch with the pig:


Even more hot chocolate (can you tell yet that Bongie LOVES hot chocolate???) in the sun:

The view from the front door of the Hermosa:


On the way home, we went through the Rocky Moutnain National Park-- it was absolutely breathtaking! And whooo--those hairpin turns?! More than a little scary! The best images, however, are those that I did not take-- driving through the clouds, the narrow roads with tall trees on both sides, majestic views over steep drops...






A short pit stop at the trail through the Continental Divide where Bongie basked in the sun (and ICY winds!) f0r a few moments. Then we raced against the in-coming storm the rest of the way back to Denver...





Well, so long until next time!

Another fabulous installment by beamlette...

I really love this installment by beamlette. Life going on all around while underneath a table a little boy is lost in his imagination. So with apologies to the Realm of Resin, I enthusiastically applaud this supreme story-teller (and photographer!)!

Platte River Meditations

Platte River Meditations

When a deaf girl goes to the river, what does she "hear?"


















Out of nowhere came a little fairy...


















It's a long way back to the car!






A short stop in the gardens...



A flower for YOU!

Hooting at Resin...

Yup, another early morning photoshoot. The wall thing was rather gross this morning-- let me spare you the details but there was evidence of unthinkable things happening in the night (gag!). I took a few pictures before I realized... So we mosey'd somewhere else for the rest of the morning!




The last time we were here, a couple of teenage boys were walking along the wall behind Valera, where the hole is. It's pretty high (about 15-20 feet?) and narrow, about a foot and a half wide) and those two numbskulls were an accident waiting to happen-- they brought their skateboard up there and I guess wanted to pretend to be doing some extreme boarding and take pictures with their phone's camera.




Beautiful sweater jacket by Barb MA; Yellow knit dress by Paul Zhanby; jeans skirt by Reba in TX; boots are Dollmore.

The funniest thing happened at the 2nd photoshoot location-- two Parks maintenance guys drove by and I flagged them down because we found a checkbook/wallet on the wall and I wanted to turn it in. They accepted it, and they were really craning their necks to check out Valera, lol! The passenger even unbuckled his seatbelt so he could get a better look. I sure wish I was faster with the camera, lol! It was so cute! They were grinning and elbowing each other an all but drooling and hooting, lol! She had a change of wardrobe and I guess she does look pretty hot! But did they realize that she wasn't real? Hee hee!!!

Thanks for looking!

Quiet Contemplation

I love that time of morning right before the sun gets high in the sky, and everything is still and the world is slowly waking up. It's a perfect time to go outside and take pictures both for the incredible lighting and because there are not a lot of people out and about...

Ruth (my deaf Glorydoll Lucy) expressed herself through movement and quiet contemplation at the man-made lake-pond-thing at Stapleton.






















Mimi (Elfdoll's Min Del Re) wanted to practice her painting, so she came out, too and Ruth sat patiently for her.











The magical morning came to an abrupt end by a wet dog who ran straight for Ruth while shaking the water off of his body. I managed to rescue her while his owner called for him. Since they decided to stick around and play fetch with the mangly mutt, Margaret and I decided to go get breakfast before spending a few hours doing faceups on a couple of Dollstown heads.

Since we had to wait for the heads to dry, we got back in the car and headed over to the Platte River to the old bridge that is next to the Skateboard park. Oblivious to the sounds of the raging river behind her, Ruth just sat and enjoyed the feel of the warm sun on her face and the cool breeze that carries the hint of approaching Autumn through her hair…










She decided to climb up the side of the bridge before I could stop her!






After she climbed back down and I had her safely secured in her carry bag, Margaret and I walked over to this thing that looked like the Great Wall of China. I'm not sure what it was since I didn't stop to read the plaque. Ruth climbed up and sat where she had a perfect view of the skyline and the rest of the park.










Here she is at the top of the stairs in the wall. She was securely resting against the wall, but...





...some bonehead and her boyfriend and big dog went careening by and Ruth toppled over and scraped her lovely lip. So, I'll have to figure out how to fix it. Sigh... the couple just laughed and pretended to cry when Ruth fell over. I guess they had no idea 1. how rude they were, and 2. how expensive Ruth was! Oh well, at least I got an interesting photo before she fell...

(See her poor boo-boo??)

Here she is resting after that mishap.


Moments later, two wet (I don't know why-- they either sweat more than I do or they fell into the Platte River at some point...) teenaged boys came up and starting climing the walls and rough-housing so Margaret and I decided to just call it a day.

You've Got Male! HAHAHAHAHA!

This is one of the funniest thing I've read in a while, lol! Again, from a favorite dollboard Prego. Enjoy the laughs!

NDR: Did I share this already? Forgive me if I repeat myself...you'll get old some day! HA!

A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?'

The father answers, 'Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:
