Brer Machete


Written on June 2, 2009 at 10:38 am, by Amelia

Hello faithful readers!

Apologies for the recent lack of posts.  A combination of travel, the start of our publishing company, and Wren’s Nest Fest‘s rapid approach has kept my brain on the fritz.

Lain, however, is unapologetic.

Anyhow, we’re back with a bang.  Behold:

Brer

Yep, that’s a machete.  I stumbled upon it today in our pantry.  It’s hanging with a mop.

Nannie, cool as usual, said “Oh, that thing?  It’s been here forever.”

    Next halloween, I want to see Lain sharpening that bad boy on the porch. It’ll take him all night to remove the rust anyways.

  2. Lain should have used that to clear the poison ivy out of the backyard. I’m sure it has grown back by now. Hop to it, Lain!

    Y’all should see the pictures of my poison ivy from 2 years ago. It is remarkable that I survived.

    Speaking of life and death situations, I just want to make clear that we were completely unaware of the recent Atlanta murder where the weapon of choice was a machete. The timing of this post is a little unfortunate, but it’s not a tact issue: it’s an ignorance one. Yikes, and our bad!
