Thank you. It was hard for them. She was young, only 68, which is young these days. My husband went with him to the funeral home to help him with the arrangements. They did not have plots or any plans for this type thing. We don't either.....something we should sit down to do.
She was well loved. She had over 1,000 attend the funeral and with it being Christmas eve day that speaks volumes of her character.
I guess I had better go and get ready for church. I am running slowly this morning. Can't seem to get moving. :) Must be the new year. :)

I'm sure it will be delicious with that wonderful sauce. How is your dad? And how are you?

[snugs]

What sauce?

[Peach]

The custard. I call anything liquid that gets put over food a sauce. LOL

[snugs]

Custard on Christmas cake I am interested how that will taste never tried that before. Normally I marzipan my cake and ice it and serve as is or with a slice of cheese on the side.

Though as it is a very rich fruit cake I suppose there is little difference in pouring custard over it than doing the same with Christmas Pudding in richness and taste they are very similar.

I love cold meat of all types with mashed potato and pickles (beetroot, walnuts, dill pickle (gerkin/wallies) and of course pickled onions.

Hi homemom. It's tomorrow and I'm here to say Happy New Year to you.

Put it in a blender!! My idea of ham salad is slices of ham with lettuce, tomato, celery, grated carrot etc with of course coleslaw and potato salad.

I am going back to school this year and had to take a class either on Monday night, Tuesday night or Thur. night.! Don't these schedule makers know those nights are the best one's for T.V. viewing???? Any way I decided to take the one on Thursday. Couldn't miss the AI thread!!

LOL--I'm honored (and extremely flattered!) that you would alter your schedule like that :)

And congratulations on going back to school. How long will you be going?

[silent_jonny]

Thank you :)

Lovely read, that poem by Kipling. Thanks.

[hershey]

That picture of GW throwing the strike...John Kerry eat your heart out!

[silent_jonny]

Put it in a blender!!

That was my reaction too :)

[EmilyGeiger]

Hello jonny! :)

you would alter your schedule like that :).......Well of course I would. I wouldn't dare miss the most entertaining thread of FR! That would be such a square thing to do.


And congratulations on going back to school. How long will you be going?

It should take me a year to finish. Just in time to go back to teaching. It will be strange to work away from home. A little sad too because that will mean all my younguns' are all in school. My youngest starts kindergarten in the fall. I will be crying like a baby. :)

[EmilyGeiger]

Just my luck. I just get home and get back on the computer and now someone else needs it..!! Oh well see all of you again later.
