Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Wheres the butter and wine?
I swear, watching the PBS shows really helped me when I was a kid in the 70’s. What a great human being.
Julia led a fascinating life.
I wonder what was the source of her family wealth, gold or something else?
Thank you for that very surprising and interesting post on Julia Child. Amazing Lady.
Among the multi millionaire elitist,racist snobs who signed the petition to shut the school down were Laurence Tribe (the Maoist lawyer awaiting appointment to SCOTUS) and...yes...one Julia Child.
Well,not surprisingly,the elitists won.They grove those little black kids out in a matter of a few months.

Bible in a Year:
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
Within twenty-four hours of his mother Sharondas tragic death, Chris found himself uttering these powerful, grace-filled words: Love is stronger than hate. His mother, along with eight others, had been killed at a Wednesday night Bible study in Charleston, South Carolina. What was it that had so shaped this teenagers life that these words could flow from his lips and his heart? Chris is a believer in Jesus whose mother had loved everybody with all her heart.
In Luke 23:2649 we get a front row seat to an execution scene that included two criminals and the innocent Jesus (v. 32). All three were crucified (v. 33). Amid the gasps and sighs and the likely groans from those hanging on the crosses, the following words of Jesus could be heard: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing (v. 34). The hate-filled initiative of the religious leaders had resulted in the crucifixion of the very One who championed love. Though in agony, Jesus love continued to triumph.
How have you or someone you love been the target of hate, ill-will, bitterness, or ugliness? May your pain prompt your prayers, and may the example of Jesus and people like Chris encourage you by the power of the Spirit to choose love over hate.
When have you found it hard to love someone? Is there someone you find it hard to forgive now? What steps might you take?
Father, forgive me when I find it hard to forgive others. Help me to demonstrate that love is stronger than hate.
Thank you Kathy! I never knew that aspect of this remarkable lady.
Re: Julia Child. I had no idea. Thanks for the education.
How's everyone doing this morning?
TO THE
FR CANTEEN
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Heavens, I never realized Julia was that tall.
There are a few celebrities that did military service.
Or spy stuff.
We had a weekend away in the mountains of Virginia.
The colors are bursting.
Back home and now we need to get back on track with our walking.
Missed all but one day last week.
Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing weekend.
So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea;
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
