The service was very nice. It was something new for ALL of us. The guest of honor was able to attend, and friends she has had for 50 plus years were able to attend and told sweet loving stories about her. One of her friends played "How Great Thou Art" on the grand piano, and one of the women sang "His Eye is On the Sparrow." I left before the end to get into the kitchen to help set out the foodstuffs. Then I stayed and helped with the dishes. I am tired. Her family is all from out of town, and they were all amazed at all the work we all did. I told her that her mother is very loved in our congregation.

Soooo sweet.

Bacon Maple Bars is the name of the new franchise I am opening in select cities across the USA.

We sell octopus eggs.....but I don't think many people would come in if our sign read: Octopus Eggs.

Now my husband is trying to figure out why I am laughing like a loon

Oh, I read your posts, JMK. I just usually don't understand them.

I read your posts, too, JMK; but I really don't like other people to know that.

BK, perhaps you should substitute the name bacon maple bars in place of apple fritters. Then when everyone reads you are now eating bacon maple bars, they will become the newest trend. You will then be able to have all of the apple fritterrs that you want.

Funnily, I was JUST going to post this exact same thing right down to the maple bar (no bacon, though). Great minds...

One of the local news reporters just came on with a teaser for the upcoming newscast. "We are getting word of a police stand-off involving a 10 month old infant." Doesn't that sound a little strange?

For the first time I went to my library site & put a hold on a DVD, MONEYBALL. I am the 71th person in the queue for this. Once a DVD becomes available it will be held for ten days. The DVD may then be checked out for a week. Late fees are only 20 cents a day. The library has 4 available disks. I highly suspect we will have picked this movie up at the Redbox long before my library offers it to me.

DR TCB it sounds less strange than the fact you found a photo of a toddler with a rifle/shotgun, whatever that is.

I too am super excited about tonight's premiere of THE AMAZING RACE.

I really like Rachel from Big Brother. So i'm really hoping that she does well. I wonder if her and Brendan will fight a lot. Probably.

Terrible news about Dame Judi. She did say that she will continue acting.

That is crazy. 71 people? We have at most 5 people for each movie. How many people does your library serve? My library is only for my suburb. My sister's suburb which is 10 minutes away as its own library.

My current guesses on the upcoming Kritzerland release involve these composers:

Michel Legrand
Manos Hadjidakis

Though I must say if it's one of those fine gentlemen, I'm a bit confused.

It is neither of those gentlemen.

How about Nino Rota.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima, where my coffee cake was a big hit. We have lots left over, because there were only 10 people there today, one of whom didn't stay for refreshments and another who's on a strict diet. I froze a couple of batches and left out only a few pieces for Richard and me to eat in the next couple of days.

Why were there only 10 people? Is your weather terrible in Lima?

I don't recall exactly what fritters are--they're like turnovers, yes?

I recommend the apple fritters at Stan's in the Village located across from the Bruin Theater.

Thanks, Jane. My new dentist is in Westwood Village and I've been spending a lot of time in that area.

The Netflix subscribers here may want to check out LILYHAMMER. I quite enjoyed season 1 and am hoping for season 2. It's available on both disc and streaming.

We just reduced out NetFlix account to only one DVD at a time. The Redbox was very easy so we will give it a try for awhile.

I am told that the late fees at Redbox are quite high. I've never used a Redbox, but a friend's teenagers use one. The $1.20 is quite attractive, though.

two more days until I go back to work. I'm not sure I'm ready for it. But it's ready for me.

I made a slight dent in the to-watch DVD stack. That's about all the work I've done at hone.

Are you feeling stronger, John?

I ventured out to Waltham, Massachusetts today. I found out that the name of that town is pronounced so that it rhymes with "call jam." I thought it would be more like "call jim." I took the commuter train and then a taxi to the Reagle Theater.

A woman I used to know had macular degeneration. It's quite common. Said friend knew she had it--her mother had it, too--and got around remarkably. When she could no longer drive she bought a limo and one of her employees doubled as her driver. The last I heard she had a little scooter. (I think she still had the limo.) MD can be a slow progression; it isn't instant blindness.

As it happens, there's a donut shop practically next door to the restaurant where I was having lunch. I stopped in there and asked about apple fritters. What was I told?? SOLD OUT!!

I didn't realize that so many people read HHW!

I saw a very enjoyable concert with Rachel York and Brent Barrett, AKA WSMA. They sang a lot of show tunes as well as some pop songs, including a Bachrach medley. Rachel did a terrific job on "He Touched Me." I think my favorite of Brent's was a medley of "Love Makes the World Go Round" and "Some Enchanted Evening." Rachel told a hilarious story about the time Liza Minnelli filled in for Julie Andrews in "Victor/Victoria," complete with impersonations of both ladies. She sounded just like Julie.
