Two absolutely superb icons. Each unique.

I remember as a child before First Grade - carrying a small pail - usually in those days, ca. 1945, it was a Prince Albert tobacco pail - down into the wooded area near my great-grandparents home to bring fresh spring fed water to the house.

So, my choice for perfect water is a Prince Albert tobacco pail..... Very Happy Very Happy

All of the above is true - except for the choice of a Prince Albert tobacco pail as a symbol for fresh water....... Shocked

Darn, aren't connections curious??

Happy Saturday morning all,

It was a great spring day to take the dogs for a walk down in the brickworks - just slightly rainy/misty - enough to curl hair and make the dogs smell like, well, wet dogs Very Happy

Now the dogs have had their bowls of homemade chicken/pork/carrot soup with 10 large dental kibble counted in with the shredded chicken/duck/carrots, and I'm finishing today's clicking.

Last night, went for a longish walk with E on our way to meet brendalee for a meal at the Noodle Bowl. Then brendalee and I went to a great concert at Trinity-St. Paul's (local church with phenomenal acoustics).

E and brendalee got on well, which is great, as the three of us will be travelling to New York together in June. Lots of laughs around the soup bowls last night.

Piper in the Pantry
with the Chris Norman Ensemble and David Greenberg, violin
March 23 & 24, 2007

As our guest ensemble this year, we are proud to present Chris Norman, maritime Canada's virtuoso flute player and piper, as he leads an ensemble of guitars, harmonium, bass, percussion and vocals, with guest fiddler David Greenberg, in a celebration of the complementary arts of food, cooking and music. Starting with a flagon of ale to awaken the palate, the CNE takes a peek behind the cupboard doors of early English, Irish and Scots musical traditions, with a "Surf & Turf" main course, topped off by dessert of puddings and pies. As a special feature, you will be able to sample some of the traditional food and drink at intermission!

picked up a small pile of cd's

I always try to bring along some $20's to buy music directly from the artists at concerts like this - they end up with more of the money than if I'd bought the same cd at a chain store

The concert sounds nice, especillay when it was for soul and body.

The seminar was very interesting and I am very sorry that I had to skip a part of it. Sinus and ear infection-grr.
And this weekend ends earlier than usual- day light saving time. Evil or Very Mad

But spring is back. Very Happy

Several pharmaceutical companies earned a fortune today:D

Wonderful, a Fachwerkhaus.
Unfortunately my town tore most of them down in the 60's . Too bad, now it is a very boring 08/15 town.

The warm weather turned icy cold! brrr

Lots of work done though, and good news from the House of Reps!

Called The Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act, the House passed the bill by a huge margin of votes. The Senate companion bill {S.61} was approved three times! don't ask The bill will make it a felony to move fighting animals or implements across state lines or foregn borders. Arrests of 'handlers' and confiscation of now taking place in the U.S. where states have enacted similar laws.

Our horses are still in danger of slaughter, but give kudo's to Texas, advocates, and the Senate! They are attempting to close the two foreign owned slaugterhouses. That leaves only the Illinois plant. The new law, when enacted, will make it illegal for horses to be shipped across boarders for slaughter - and with all three plants closed in the U.S. - horses will again be safe from class b dealers, stock yards, and the racing industrys' disposal of perfectly healthy animals.

Late clicks today - - - My Mom, 92 yrs, fell and broke her right humerus bone at the point where it connects with the ball connecting it to the rotor cup. Not a good day - the ER, and after a long peroid of time - a surprising release to us, we brought her home - and after a call to our doctor - we are checking her in tomorrow. Then, after a few days observation and more checks - to a place with 24/7 service untill she is well.

So, there we are.

Dan, sorry hearing about your mom!

My mom broke her hip - she was 83 - they replaced her hip, the surgery went well - she was transfered from the hospital to a convalesent hospital for physical therapy - brought her home after seven days - and that day she was able to walk up a flight of stairs!

Surgical procedures are so much more advanced now, Dan.

Sending good thoughts and prayers!
