TanBeard the Pirate, Or, The Hillbilly Terror

It's said she fancies a skull and crossbones cape--
one affixed with plundered gold doubloons, no less.



"All of my new clothes" from toes to top... The ensemble included brand new boots from McGamma (HOW did you know that just last week, with sorrow, we trashed hers that had been held together with duct tape since last summer?!); a red skirt, green jacket, and green scarf made by Grandma J.; and pirate capes, belts, and beards from Miss M. Elise.


She looks so goofy here,


and so jolly here,




that's it's easy to forget just how ruthless she is.

There are imposters, to be sure,


but no one comes close to matching the original.

A bearded elephant!? For cryin' out loud, does John know what goes on there during the day?

Matt,

He has no idea.

And if you squeal on us, the girls will make YOU a beard. (We noticed you misplaced yours.)
