In our local news there were about 100 people celebrating on the town Plaza today.

You posted while I was typing.  I needed the extra bit about the celebration in our little town.

Just got invited to a retirement party for a former boss who was hated by every single person who ever worked under her. Somehow, despite numerous verifiable reports to HR about her flagrantly reprehensible behavior, she lasted 34 years in the job. Now, we're expected to show up to honor her? Best laugh I've had today.

Honor her or celebrate her departure?

You mean you won't be going  :o

I know...talk about a missed opportunity.

;)

Maybe we could get together for our own party.

Had a great time  this weekend. Went to Tampa and Busch Gardens and rode most of roller coasters and saw a couple of shows.   
   
We drove to Sarasota for dinner at an Amish restaurant. While our dinners were very good they were not spectacular.                                                                                                             

Is Amish food supposed to be spectacular?

Monday morning greetings!  Had a nice, somewhat relaxing, day with my sister yesterday.  She arrived in time for us go over to The Jug for burgers & root beer for lunch.  By the time Mary Linda arrived, the cousins and the bride were visiting with Mom, so eventually we joined them.  Perry & Pam went back to her mother's, we took Dan to his airport hotel, and Mom probably crashed.  And that's what I'm doing today...


And what is what you are doing today?

Sarasota had some great Mennonite restaurants when I lived there, laden with plenty of old-fashioned home cooking and great pies. Yoder's is the only name I remember. Sorry your meal was not up to par, Mike.

I believe it's appropriate at this juncture to ask for a little prayer in regard to Rosemary's Baby...


A/Q audition vibes for DR Chas!

I guess the donut guy must not come every day or they would make more. I think they should make more after he buys them all or just make extas every day. BK maybe you could call in your order the day before.

We had Vernors in Buffalo when I was growing up.  I'm not sure if it's still available.  I've never noticed it here in Northern Virginia.   I used to like Canada Dry the best.

Here is one of my photos from Perry & Pam's wedding.  The ceremony was led by the Lakota Iyeska on the right.  Their hands are being bound by my cousin Dan, who is on his way back to Japan today.


I've never see the binding of hands-interesting.  The blankets are colorful :)

I first saw it when Prince William married Kate Middleton.  Then, Fr. Richard bound Rob and Mary Linda's hands and the rabbi bound Christopher and Kyra's.  It seem to be a custom that crosses cultural and spiritual lines.

When I wrote that, DR TCB, I was intending to crash today.  Instead I went to a movie with Richard, did some grocery shopping, made pizza for dinner, and, just now, loaded 4 trash bags with old videotaped TV episodes from Rob's preteen and teen years.  He says everything's available on streaming now and I could not find a cost-effective way to recycle the tapes.  Landfill, here they come!

In Pennsylvania, yes.


In Ohio, it's heavily carb-laden: mashed potatoes topped with noodles topped with gravy with a side of corn.

In Philadelphia I bought some of the best molasses cookies ever from the Amish at Reading Terminal Market.

Sounds like a rather kinky wedding ceremony!

Very nice photo, Ginny. And, yes, slightly kinky,  if you want to look at it that way. And I do.

The wedding ceremony was in the Lakota spiritual tradition.

I did watch the royal wedding so I guess I saw it-lol

Jewish custom....I'm wondering now if I have seen this though I don't believe I have.
