The only thing I used raw milk for was making butter. or cooking. I just couldn’t drink it. I used a blender to make the butter, but when we were kids, our friend’s mother had a glass churn. It somehow didn’t seem like work when we could see the butter forming.

My grandmother used a power mixer to make butter.

My sentiments, exactly, Kathleen.

My mother always said she hated to eat because a few hours later, she just had to do it again!

(And I saw what you did, there.)

79 and 24%, SW @ 9.

I need to take a shower but I’ll wait until 0600 so my neighbor doesn’t complain about it.

So it was. Is the awesome wonder of Dunkirk planted firmly still today?

I’ll wait until 0600 so my neighbor doesn’t complain about it.

In our last apartment, when we first moved to Charlotte, the people above us ran the vacuum at 2:00 a.m. and practiced martial arts.

Yes, the Kool-Aid made the yarn a beautiful shade of blue-gray, but some parts were almost black, and others were lighter gray. Really nice to look at and feel.

The other skein was an ivory-gray. I keep the items because she spun them.

(She also made me a Rosary in my favorite color, which I will never part with!)

I remember coloring eggs with grape juice and beet juice.

I had one of those above me when I was working. Finally, at 0230 one morning, I went upstairs, knocked on her door and asked her to please not vacuum at that time.

She had no idea she had a downstairs neighbor, and was awed when I told her I had lived there 13 months. That was the end of the nocturnal vacuuming. ;o]

[Tax-chick]

That never occurred to me!

In one apartment in San Antonio, we called the upstairs neighbor “The Man With the Cement Shoes.” Fortunately, he didn’t keep weird hours ;-).

Amongst those of us who think the Chanel isn’t wide enough, it is.
There is a superb permanent exhibition at Dover castle, next time you vencher forth.
Worth a Google. :)

Well, since I had to get up at 0500, it was hard to go back to sleep, so I had a choice: tell her or stay up doing nothing (I had no TV then)

Thanks for the tip.

I remain in awe of the red glass poppy memorial installation. Just brilliant and deeply moving even viewed only from photos.

[Tax-chick]

Got a link?

This will get you started.

Well worth the effort and for the chicadees a memorable learning moment.

Waiting with bated breath for Sir Clive Sinclair to release a Timex Sinclair 3000 smart phone with cassette interface so I can run my old TS-1000 software. Hot diggity!

Thanks!

When Tom was doing speech competition, he did a presentation on war that included a passage from Sir Martin Gilbert about the last minutes before the armistice and a poem about the War’s aftermath.
