The papers on the table are reproductions of the Second Innaugural Address, the Gettysburg address and the Emancipation Declaration, the photos are  reproductions of Lincoln alone, one with his son Tad, one with  General McClennan and one with some Union soldiers

I'm very impressed with the decorating.

I must admit I was disappointed I did not win for best decorated table, but when I saw the competition,  there were two others that were really good,   I  fully expected  one of them to win -

Alex and I ate at Fred's at 83rd and Amsterdam, then I came home and watched the Disney SNOWWHITE, which I hadn't seen n at least 15 years. Cried like a baby at the end. It still works its magic.

We had 18 cooks and 18 different kinds of chili -  we also had hot dogs so you could make yourself a chili dog -

I'm not recommending it.

But it did the job.

Sorry, I didn't have a chance to say "Bye for now" when our party geared up.  Rob and Mary Linda arrived a little before the cousins got back from visiting my Mom.  We had a fun pizza party and watched one of the Harry Potter movies until the kids conked out and Rob and ML headed back to Cincinnati.

DR Vixmom, your chili festivities look like a lot of fun!  Your chili sounds good and you and The Vixter look beautiful.

I stayed home tonight and watched FLIGHT then THE SESSIONS. Glad I watched them in that order.  The Sessions was much more humorous and touching.   I liked them both, but don't see either Denzel or Helen Hunt winning an Oscar.

Great photos from the chili cookoff, Vixmom. And I think you did best by cooking something you wanted to eat. That's the best cooking of all.

Just back from dancing. In between the ballroom stuff, we learned a few steps of belly dancing (I got to practice my shimmy) and some line dance called the Wobble. Fun.

Didn't keep my mind fully from Dolores, though. I spoke with her son, who said she didn't actually break her hip. She dislocated it in a way that''s actually worse. It will require surgery, but the surgery is so intensive that they may not perform it on her because of her age. The decision will be made tomorrow. In the meantime, she's on painkillers that seem to be working their magic.

thank you -  I don't like really hot chili  and I don't like beans in my chili -  a couple of people had white chili made with chicken and white beans  to my mind that's not chili at all -  chili must be beef and tomatoes - but that's horseracing
