I am starting a project and want to know if someone would like to help me do it. Once started we can develop a reset button for this economic structure.
The breast-side down began with our volunteering with the USFS as campground hosts. We had fire pits, and hated to see the heat go to waste, so we did turkeys when we could get them.
Mayo was an add-on by a younger sister, but we found that together, the turkeys were unbeatable. Any time of year. We kept olives and yams on hand...
Interesting!
Yepper!
I miss that.
Sigh. It’s been a lonely afternoon here. LoM & TYS wrapped presents while I put up and decorated the tree this morning. Then they went out to do some more shopping, came back hours later, TYS headed off to her boyfriend’s and LoM ran out to the store for a turkey and said she’d bring something back to eat — but it’s been an hour and a half or more...
Home now.
If you’re getting hungry, in a house filled with fruits, nuts, and other goodies, you’re not maintaining proper quality inspection routines.
Officially Merry Christmas now, y’all! Our service went reasonably well - minor confusion and starting off on the total wrong note are par for the course. After we got home, we ate the fruit-basket arrangement. I’ll put up pictures of it, pre-eating, tomorrow. There’s nothing left but kale, now, and the dragons will eat that for breakfast.
Anoreth is due in at 0600 EST. She texted from the airport. All kids under 14 are in bed, yippee. Bill’s “syncking his iPod” and Tom is watching the steampunk “Sherlock Holmes,” with Robert Downey Jr. apparently off drugs. I’m thinking of going to bed, in case I have to pick up Seaman Petunia in the morning. It depends on Frank!
How do you roast chestnuts on an open fire? How many states ban open fires.
I once saw a chest made from chestnut wood, They kept assorted nuts in it.
Where did those threes ships come from, You know the one that the guy saw come sailing in on Christmas day in the morning. We also so have a present future tense thing going I don’t understand?
My sister told me Santa won’t come around her area because all the hunters keep shooting at the reindeer.
good night
Merry Christmas
When you get a chance to watch it, you’ll enjoy it too.
I didn’t expect to enjoy it, but I was wrong. Willing suspension of disbelief had nothing to do with it.
It was like “RED”. A lot of action.
My father told me about this. In the fall, when chestnuts were dropping, the young folk would make an occasion of it, going up on the mountain to gather the chestnuts.
When a whole mountain full of trees offers you bounty, there is plenty to go around.
It would be cool there, and a fire was as welcome as the company of the opposite sex.
After a while, the chestnuts would be ready for eating, and they ate them.
Now this part is reminiscent of the scene in "Blazing Saddles", because the warm chestnuts had an interesting effect on people's digestion. Periodically, one or another would excuse him or herself to go to the edge of the firelight for a moment, and then return.
Soon all reason for pretense was abandoned, for the young men and for the young women. I guess it was a bonding experience, like sharing a two-holer.
With the musical instruments, and the group singing, the food and companionship, it was a very memorable experience, lost now for all who had those memories.
But we can still sing about it.
I thought Holmes was okay, if you didn’t expect it to be like the books. The characters had the same names, but it was like an alternate universe or something.
Tomorrow you can hear about my excellent airport adventure. It is a heartwarming tale, full of suspense with a little action scattered throughout. Like an episode of walker Texas ranger.
But no romance.
And Merry Christmas to you too. Our service went pretty well -- what confusion there was occurred before the service began.
I was supposed to read the second lesson (of five) and the Epistle, but I couldn't find the Epistle for Christmas Eve in the Book of Common Prayer -- there was a reading from Titus given, so I assumed it was something from the Anglican Missal and prepared accordingly, using my combined BCP/KJV. I missed the fact that there's a second Collect/Epistle/Gospel set for Christmas in the BCP and that we were using that. So I was able to read the Epistle direct from the service book.
But our Deacon, who was to read the first lesson, wasn't coming, so I was asked to read that instead of the second. No problem, particularly as the lessons were printed and in the service book on its lectern.
A few little other things, but we punted and it was lovely -- though I see now we skipped the Decalogue. Maybe another punt by the Rector.
May you have a happy celebration with Seaman Petunia tomorrow.
Up and at ‘em, fearless crew! Time to organize for “Solemnity of Christmas, Mass in the Morning.” Different psalm from last night, all songs in English, can’t do “Still, Still, Still” because it’s not “the eve” any more. Remind Father that we are singing the Gloria and the Our Father, but not the “Lord Have Mercy” unless he wants it in Spanish.
And for our FRiends who recognize this white stuff ...
Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Hello! I got my warm hiking socks!
And I got ... let's see now.
Oh yeah, here it is ... I got ... up! Merry Christmas to me.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry Christmas, Everyone!
