...Jill- I'm glad you like the altar. I do too. <br /><br />Mrs. F- Haha! Steak and ice cream! Yes, Tofurky has been around for a long time. I've never had the courage to try it. It's a big seller at Thanksgiving, I believe. I looked up that book on Amazon. They have one used copy available for $35. Pricey but if you loved it, it might be worth it to you.<br />Love the image of the sea buckthorn plumping out my intestines. <br /><br />Sweet Jo- A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do. I guess I'd rather he be out hunting, fishing, or even drag racing than in a bar, picking up women. <br />Sigh...<br /><br />Steve Reed- Well, see Hank's comment. He has an entirely valid point. <br /><br />Mr. Downtown- You are the very voice of reason and common sense. <br /><br />Wayne- They ARE expensive which is why it took Mr. Moon years to decide to finally buy a new one after his was broken. And he IS a kind man. You're right. And it is funny that that old favorite book was "religious" but I suppose I always just viewed it as a lovingly illustrated retelling of an old myth.<br /><br />heartinhand- The house we lived in before this one must have been under the flight path of the Canada geese because they flew over all the time. I can remember floating in the pool as autumn approached, watching them overhead. A beautiful memory. And no, I'm not much bruised at all. Thank you for asking.

Now, there's a snappy advertisement...or not! I just don't understand why one would want to eat something that looks like / tastes like /feels like beef, or chicken, or pork, or ostrich, come to that, if you don't want to EAT any of those things. What did I see on the grocery shelf the other day - something called (I think) To-furkey. Which quite frankly, sounds like a slightly-disguised curse.<br /><br />Sea buckthorn, I will confess, I put on my face as a moisturising oil. Supposed to plump out shriveled skin, or somesuch nonsense. I expect if one actually consumed it, one's intestines would be deliciously smooth and wrinkle-free also.<br /><br />I adore books...thank heavens my mother kept all my childhood favorites. She's been boxing them up and sending them seamail, for my own children. The only one I can't find is my all time favourite, "A Lemon Yellow Elephant Called Trunk".<br /><br />A peaceful and happy weekend to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-49911374158656857952014-08-30T22:33:50.692-04:002014-08-30T22:33:50.692-04:00Good stuff.

He heard so frequently "Book Title by Lois Lenski" that for two years he thought she wrote every book ever. He'd say "By Lois Lenski" after every title I read him.

Mr Moon!
I had a beautiful student...Drag racing?? Mr Moon! <br /><br />I had a beautiful student from Turkey, Tugce, she was like a super hero, long hair, black eye liner, full of a slightly masculine poise. She told us she went drag racing for money at night... total superhero. Now facebook lets me see that she has a beautiful boyfriend who seems to suit her just so. I love it for that. Never mind the other. <br /><br />I can't believe Hank can't remember the book! Ha! My books of that sort have a sort of mythic quality. I found one, and bought it, but it's about a baby sitting wolf trying to cook one of the little pigs she's sitting on, and they band together and tie her up in a blanket, and when the Mr Pig comes home he drops the bundle in the river. And it all seems a tiny bit like a metaphor for child abuse somehow. Not that the kids would notice. And I loved it. But then, I never had unfamiliar babysitters either... ugh, I know, it's stupid to have even worried about it. My daughter is now happily watching shark attack programmes after midnight all on her own, viewer discretion advised. Sigh. <br /><br />Sorry, I wrote a blog post for some reason!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-4489606534170510732014-08-30T19:22:25.664-04:002014-08-30T19:22:25.664-04:00Well, that sure is a whole lot of sweetness.
