Bizzo's Birthday Banquet at Bee and Thistle Inn - (Pic Heavy)
Q
Comments (13)
A lot more came home than just the Brunello! there's half the apple fritter, half the duck, and half the salmon in our fridge! Next time, I'm having one and a half courses. The food was SO rich. (wonderful, but almost too wonderful iykwim). Cathy, I did have trouble deciding. It's a short menu and I wanted everything!! Fortunately the recommendation of the duck from a complete stranger in the lounge before diner made up my mind for me on the entree! Tricia, I think you and DH would love the place! It is just off Exit 70 next door to the Florence Griswold Museum. I think it's my new favorite local restaurant (those honors used to belong to The Up River in Westerly before the floods and they closed it). Unfortunately Bee and Thistle doesn't suit my budget for a regular hang-out, but wow! saving my pennies to go back. The menu changes regularly but the chef is awesome. They do have a chef's selection on Wednesdays- three courses for $28 - that would be easier on the pocketbook - but we definitely splurged for my birthday.

You're not pestering me at all--I don't often get a chance to sound smart! :-) I'm pretty sure the photo was posed. My father loved to do stuff like that. A scanner like this one would absolutely do a good job with photos. I think prints aren't mentioned much in the description or in reviews because it's understood that the scanner is fine for them. Its ability with slides and negatives is the big plus. The description says this, which might interest you: Enhance old photos: Built-in retouching technology removes much of the dust and scratches on original prints, improving image quality. I've scanned documents on mine, and turned them into PDF files. It's easy. As far as I know the scanner must make a wired connection to the computer, so it would have to be in close enough proximity to do that. Let us know what you decide. If you think of any more questions, ask away!

Mothers Day Memories
Q
Comments (9)
I woke up in labor with our 3rd child the day before Mother's Day in 1979. However, it was our 3 year old's birthday, and we lived out in the boonies where there were no bakeries. I told DH that we could not ignore his birthday, that I was going to bake a cake right away, and if we had cake and presents for breakfast, so be it. I was not going to leave him without the birthday cake we had talked about all week. By the time the cake was out of the oven, the Braxton Hicks contractions had stopped. The next morning I woke up in early but real labor, and it was Mother's Day. Christopher arrived about 8 hours later. My sons' birthdays are May 12 and 13, and my brother's birthday is May 13th too. We grew up eating dinner out and celebrating Mother's Day and my brother's birthday on the same Sunday quite often. And we still do it, and I bake each son his own cake to this day, mailing his cake to my son in NYC.

What is Memorial day
Q

After some consideration of my earlier post here, I offer my apology for having made it on this thread, as I did not intend it in any way to detract from your appreciation of the service that military people have given, including death for many. While I consider that the point that I made is valid, I think that I should have made it on a separate thread. Our May holiday, last weekend, earlier dealing with our queen of the late 1800s, has been just a holiday for many years, with no military connotations. We remember their contributions on November 11, which we used to call "Armistice Day", related mainly to te multiplied thousands who were killed in World War I, and later in World War II and Korea. Our family has more reason than many to be thankful for the soldiers' contribution, for Grandpa was 54 (Dad 13) in 1914, when World WarI began. When World War II began in 1939, Dad at 38 had a wife in the chronic hospital, an old mother 77 and me, aged 10 plus 2 younger brothers and a fairly large farm to look after. Korea was not a major deal here, I wondered about going, but was busy in University at the time. I finished just as the Korean War was winding down and asked to be appointed as a missionary of our (liberal Protestant)(1) church, to help heal the wounds of war in Korea, then spent 10 years there. I do not like war. So our family, not having been personally involved in war, have reason to be more thankful than many for the gift of their lives that many soldiers have been called upon to make. I drove my son, who has lived all of his life in Canada, a dual citizen, to Toronto to register for the U.S. draft in the late '70s, when he was near or at 18 ... but he has not served. He was in the Canadian Navy Officers' Training or Reserves for a while, while he was in University, and spent a summer with them, but did not continue. When given an order, he had a tendency to ask the officer to give him three reasons why he should follow it. I think that he and the Navy felt that they would not make a good fit. Good wishes to you all as you remember later today, Memorial Day. ole joyful 1. When I started university in 1947, I was assigned a room in our seminary dorm that had been furnished in tribute to our first ordained female clergyperson, which took place in the 1930s on the Prairies, I think. Most of the Presbyterians, the Methodists and the Congregationalists (plus a number of local union churches, mainly in the recently-settled Prairies) joined into The United Church of Canada in 1925. o j

No flights to AZ ... or wherever.

Had some errands to run, and was working on gettting my cell phone working.

And I'm to go out to supper with son and his lady soon.

Thanks for all of the good wishes.

I'm thankful to have good health (except for a varicose vein or two, requiring some pressure stockings.

But it's seldom that, when I ask it to do something, my body sayd, "Listen, you darned old fool - I can't do that any more!"

Hope yo all have a great week.
