A capital idea

Photobucket

Welcome to The Sock Drawer warehouse Possum's and Peeps! A lot has transpired this week in a capital movement! Yes I must say that it has been a busy week for me here in The Sock Drawer. I had many appearances to make.

Photobucket

I was feeling a bit legislative and decided to head out for the Nashville capital buildin for a tour around! I must keep our law makers in check. They tend to wonder around in confushion when I'm not there to keep the ball rollin for them.

Out on the front lawn they have chosen to keep the original coloumns from the original buildin of the 1850's. Pretty cool historical and of interest for the photo finish moment. Some of the greats of our great country have walked past these columns durin the buildin of our US of A. G.W. himself might have leaned up against one of these columns for a quick smoke at one time. I'm just sayin! A Sock Monkey guess isn't always right.

What capital would be complete without the bell tower? One ringy dingy! The red coats are comin or something! One never knows what it was used for durin the 1800's. They love to ring bells and stuff like that there.

Photobucket

It's a capital with a view! Wow! and what a view it is! Our state capital sits way up on a hill and over looks Nashville and all her beauty! I could hardly catch my Sock Monkey breath as I gazed out over Nashville. The sky was clear blue for the sunniest day one could imagine.

Here's just a teaser peek at the buildin herself. My bad? Aaaawww Shucks Possum's! Let a Sock Monkey have his fun Please!

The bust of famous law makers are everywhere inside. I'm pretty sure there is a law somewhere sayin I shouldn't be sittin along on top of it for a photo. Laws were made to be broken Possum's. The state patrol was parked just outside and they didn't make an intrance on the matter. Do they even make handcuffs small enough to fit around my wrist?

The lightin was a show all by itself! These light fixtures are original from the 1800's! They lit up my mug pretty good. I think I remember the tour guide tellin us they were gas lit at one time or antoher. Ben Franklin you old coot! Bringin electricity along to light up my life and celeb status! What were you thinkin? I was plum proud to be a part of it all here in the present. 200 years later their tax dollars still at work! Talk about strecthin the almighty dollar!

Photobucket

I walked around in style and elegance! A marble staircase here and there! Me in my tie-dye! I was under dressed for such an occashion. Buts that's alright I was playin the tourist part that day.

Photobucket

Hello Possum's! Should I walk throught this door and assum command of the law makers warehouse? I shudder to think what lies beyond this door. I think I shall pass on it!

Photobucket

This is the original official state seal for documents and laws. They still use it and it all the way from the 1800's with it's bad self! Pretty evil lookin if ya'll ask me!

Photobucket

The carpets are not original although they did have an oil paintin from back in the day that showed this carpet and they had it remade. Kind of had the Christmas look to me. I'm just sayin.....

Photobucket

Here is the outside. I finally decided to show ya'll what it looked like in it's present day state.

Photobucket

And this is what it looks like with me standin in front of it! I know you curious onlookers wanted to see that! I stuck a feather in my hat and called it macarroni! Sure shootin Possum's!

Photobucket

And that's the News from Bubba's Sock Drawer! Nashville will never be the same after that! Bubba out Possum's!
