Even the manner of talking seemed similar! Just the quirky twist at the side of the Rhett mouth didn't quite release on Roden's mouth! But it whispered there at times!<br /><br />Back to the images! That mausoleum seems so pretentious/bombastic in contrast with the quiet style of Roden's gravestone! <br /><br />Intriguing post as always!Gemma Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540188839321484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-56601063019602820432012-02-07T20:57:46.743+11:002012-02-07T20:57:46.743+11:00It for sure gives a good inside in the in the dece...It for sure gives a good inside in the in the deceased persons.
