Amy and Billie, your #1067 is Lovely; Thank you for Creating these Beautiful Treasures that Bless us and Brighten our Lives. Diver Dave, Thank you for the Wonderful Hymns that Blessed my Heart, and Billie Thank you for the Screen Capture and MP3. Thank you, Kitty. I'm glad you enjoyed the opening today - and every day.

Hi, Billie. Thank you.
FR has had its share of troubles lately. It went down not long after I posted the Holiday Celebrations. I kept thinking, now what did I do?
After moving to Marissa’s computer, found out it wasn’t JustMe.
Isn’t that watercolor poster great. I don’t think I could have found a better illistration for “Actors Day”.

Thank you, Conor.
Arthur Lord Tennyson’s “The Passing of Arthur” and the graphic are great additions to Amy’s Place.
Thank you again. Have a great weekend.

Thank you, Billie.
When I found that Ireland picture, I thought of Conor. I saved it with the idea of doing something with it. Ending up doing nothing except resizing and adding a border.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
I WILL arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
William Butler Yeats

Monet Day.
Pickle Appreciation Day
World Diabetes Day
Guacamole Day
Chunky, Garlicy Guacamole
2 Haas avocados, peeled, halved lengthwise, pitted, and chopped in large dice
1 tomato, chopped
½ red onion, chopped in fine dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime (plus another ½ lime if you expect to want to keep leftovers)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. Mash the avocados in a large bowl with the back of a fork to form the consistency of guacamole you want. I like mine with plenty of big chunks of avocado still floating around.
2. Add tomato, onion, and garlic. Stir to combine.
3. Squeeze in juice of one lime. Stir to combine. Taste.
4. Add salt and freshly ground pepper. I use a lot of each, and more salt than pepper. I added probably ¼ tsp. of salt at a time and maybe 1/8 tsp. of pepper at a time, stirring and tasting after each addition, and continuing to add salt after calling it quits on the pepper. This will vary each time you make guacamole, so just be a vigilant tester as hard as it is to test guacamole over and over again.
Guacamole keeps in the fridge for a few days, covered with extra lime juice and with an air-tight plastic wrap seal.

For yesterday's full moon celebration:
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon..
