Good Morning FRiends, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day here in Memphis, I'm off to the quilting guild meeting, then off to go see The Passion of Christ at the 1:00 pm showing.

It's a perfect day for this.

Hi, Billie.  A very fine effort.......for the most part.

Overall, I enjoyed it. The various "holidays" were interesting and your little editorial comments didn't detract too much from the presentation. :-)

In honor of it being Old Stuff Day and for your hard work, here's a gift from me to you.

 

Almost forgot, you did misspell "parilous" in The Star Spangled Banner. Next time look up the lyrics! :-)
