Comments (17)I love the angel story. I love the thought of Cherryfizz learning mew and growl - my dogs only speak growl but I'm getting there. I love the bake a cake. A few weeks ago someone in this country had a special display at their dungeon at the castle (a tourist attraction, you understand, not a private home!). Instead of 'Santa's Grotto' they had 'Satan's Dungeon', where the song being played was 'Robins roasting on an open fire'. People called the local radio station and said it was an insult to Christianity. I found it hysterical - and I'm a Christian priest. OK, I wasn't so taken with Satan but the robins ......ROFLMAO! Santas and robins are OK - but they're not the reason for the season. Family-feeling is great - but it's not the reason. Being generous is great - but it's not the reason. I'm listening to a TV programme behind me now about gift-buyers for the stars in the States and they're talking about how big 'A Patriotic Christmas' is this year. Don't get me wrong there is NOTHING wrong with loving one's country, I'm patriotic - but it's not the reason for the season. There are so many things, perfectly nice things in themselves, that have been added to the celebration of Christmas over the centuries that the world is in dire danger of forgetting entirely the real reason - the birth of the Saviour of the World. Everett - please don't be offended if I say that maybe you've been given the best Christmas present of all - that awful feeling that it's all hollow, what's being presented to us and that there has to be something more. There is - and you're ready to find it, to find God in Christ. If you think it's right, pray, ask Jesus to come into your life. It's not a magic, instant formula, not many people ever see fireworks, I never have. But this might just be the time your life begins to change. Take care, Alice...See Moremystery challenge
Comments (10)I have done 2 mystery quilts and both was organized by my guild. The first one - ended up having a 'mistake' on one of the clues, and then everyone had to either deal with the mistake or do that part over. The mistake was found several clues later, thus a pain to rip out, so most members just worked around it. I was not happy with the result of my quilt... I never finished it. The second one the gal in charged checked out the mystery very carefully before ordering it... and it was a simpler pattern but the size was for a double bed. The pattern was nice, but I did not want the double size, so before I sewed the final top together, I laid it out and found a way to make it smaller. This pattern was well written and fun to do. I did like it, just not the size. I feel that the suggestion to use the link for quiltville was good, as Bonnie is very reliable and her mystery quilts are really nice. One should try a mystery once, just so you know what it is all about. BARBARA...See MoreDecember Reading
Comments (101)Thanks for the recommendations Carolyn. I'd be particularly interested in trying the Harrod-Eagles series since you and others here seem very enthusiastic about them - also, I have read and enjoyed some of her Bill Slider mysteries. My library has quite a few of her mysteries but only 1 or 2 titles in the Dynasty series and not even the first one - I sometimes wonder how they make their purchasing decisions.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks also to Cece who mentioned the Sheila Pim's mysteries on another thread. I have just finished "Common or Garden Crime" and will definitely be looking for the other three titles. This was a charming and witty cozy set in an Irish village during World War II (with a heroine who loves to read Jane Austen as an added bonus). I highly recommend it to anyone who likes cozies and it would probably be particularly appealing to any gardeners here....See Moreannpanagain
