New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

"Here you go... decorative and functional..."

ROFL! Great pic :)

[Fedora]

Good, thanks! Have a hankering for pancakes for some reason :) How are you?

[RosieCotton]

I think I'll have flaxseed pancakes for breakfast tomorrow. Been having those once a week or so.

I still need to try the almond pancakes, though! And the new recipe for pecan ones, too, eventually.

But the flax ones are just soooo easy. I've been using a recipe that's just two eggs, three tablespoons of ground flaxseed, and a tsp each of vanilla and baking powder. I usually add a tiny bit of water, too, especially since I don't like majorly fluffy pancakes. And lately I add blueberries.

They're quick and easy and good for ya!

Oh, that is funny!

[Professional Engineer]

tHERE'S AN IDEA!

[Fedora]

Thanks! What's distinctive about PCA vs. the other group mentioned/other Presbyterian groups? (if I may ask without risking starting a flame war, LOL!--feel free to answer privately if it's more appropos.)

[Overtaxed]

But...but... I don't have the sheet music!

[PurpleQ]

Thanks! Great to "see" you too :-)

[Professional Engineer]

Mrs. just looked at me when I suggested we could turn a koi pond into a moat.

sAY, THERE'S A PLAN.

[PurpleQ]

Yummy, I'll take a helping of those pancakes, please! I am bad, I never make pancakes from a recipe or scratch as some people call it. I buy the kind in the plastic bottle that you add water to and shake. :-( I am a terrible mommy and wife, huh?

[2Jedismom]

I'm fine as frog's hair, split 4 ways!

[msdrby]

I would particularly enjoy doing that. None of my old buddies live there anymore, but I could show PE the ole house and we could have a burger at Goldie's.

:-)

You don't quite reach "terrible" status until you buy the frozen ones for the microwave.

[2Jedismom]

I'm glad you like them, but you really need to try the almond flour ones...

They usually don't make it to the table...I just eat 'em while standing up, frying up the next one.

Gosh, they are good!!!

[Long Cut]

Hello! I just got my Hobbit Hole knife in the mail today!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you ALL for your great support of America's military, and for the ways you show it.

Please do me a favor, and pass along my sincerest thanks to all involved and concerned. The gesture is indeed a heartwarming one, and the knife is already being put to work.

Have a great day, ALL!

[RosieCotton]

We never had the mix kind...and they are too fluffy for me, since we usually made them with more egg than those have. Dad likes 'em even more that way than I do - his are just about rubbery!

But "from scratch" are pretty easy. I don't use a recipe - Mom just taught us the proportions she used, and we double or triple that as needed. I have it written down somewhere, but if I remember right it's just one egg and one cup of flour and one cup of milk, plus a scant teaspoon of baking powder. And you can add one tablespoon of oil, too, which I think makes 'em a little crisper.

*shudder*

[Corin Stormhands]

Glad you got the knife. Thank you for your service to our Country.

[msdrby]

Yes, my daughter has dyed one of our dogs hot pink, blue and lime green.

ROFL

Really? This reminds me... elf-boy has a Christmas movie in which a dalmation is accidentally dyed blue, then pink, then green, etc.

PCA - fairly conservative denomination. The Presbyterians you mostly hear about are PCUSA, they're liberal. There's the EPC, which I don't know much about. Fairly conservative but I think in theory they ordain women. There's OPC - Orthodox Presbyterians - which are a bit stricter than PCA and the closest thing we have to a sister denomination. And there's the RPC - Reformed Presbyterians - who are a little looser, I think, but still ok.

Oh, and the Cumberland Presbyterians are, I believe, Presbyterian in government only.
