Mun vs Muse

So - I had to photoshop Isaiah’s hair because they didn’t have what I wanted... and that clothing is a little more 1800′s than 1700′s, but it’s close enough.  ^_^;

Tagging: Does anyone even know I still use this blog?  LOL!  Anyway, if you see this and want to do it, then have fun!

A few weeks back, an email from a colleague made me consider what nasty phrases colonial Bostonians used for the British soldiers stationed in their midst in 1768-70 and 1774-76. And who better to record those insults than the men who were their targets? All the following phrases come from depositions that those soldiers dictated to sympathetic ministers or magistrates in mid-1770, as friends of the royal government built a case that the locals had brought the shootings known as the Boston Massacre upon themselves.

Comfort in the Storm ~ Lilja and Isaiah

The storm was raging outside and Isaiah was loving it.  The large windows in his room gave a perfect view of the roiling clouds and torrents of rain.  Flashes and streaks of jagged lightening painted the sky, and the research he’d been attempting to do sat forgotten in his lap.

Krrrrr-POW!  A sharp burst of light so bright he had to close his eyes...and when he opened them again everything was dark.  With a soft sigh he reached over to the bedside table to fumble with his phone, eventually turning it on and hitting the flashlight app.  That was better, now to…

His head jerked up when he heard Lil’s voice cry out from somewhere nearby.  “Lilja?!” he called out, moving towards the bedroom across the hall.  “Are you alright?  Can I come in?”
