I’m Sitting On Top Of The World ~

A rat?..When is the year of the Basset Hound?

A papa mole, a mama mole, and a baby mole, all live together in
a little mole hole. One day, papa mole sticks his head out of
the hole, sniffs the air and said, 'Yum! I smell maple syrup!'

The mama mole sticks her head out of the hole, sniffs the air
and said, 'Oh, Yum! I More...

Unfortunately there is no good news. A couple of people who visited the village shop said they had seen him - one on the other side of the village on Sunday night. The other today in the village but I have walked miles today calling him and checking sheds and barns. It is cold and wet again More...

His request approved, the Fox News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, More...

everyone, the sun is trying to peak through the clouds but the clouds are winning so far. This has truly been the best Christmas in a very long time. Having all my family together was the best present I could ever have.

Mo, I am sorry to hear Sammi is missing, hope he makes it home soon.

We still have snow on the ground but it is the ice on the streets I don't like. With the snow and ice we didn't go anywhere on Christmas day. Driving on the ice was a challenge but slow and cautious got us where we needed to go.

THE OLD PHONE (pt 1)

THIS WAS ONE OF THE 'GOOD OLD DAYS' WHEN PEOPLE REALLY CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER

When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood.. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of More...

(pt 2)

'Information, please,' I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear.


'Information.'


'I hurt my finger,' I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an audience.

She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, ' Wayne , always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.'


Somehow I felt better.


Another day I was on the telephone, 'Information Please.'

'Information,' said in the now familiar More...

GMo... At least there is no BAD news. He has been seen alive. That was my biggest fear.

A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown Operator and said, More...

Three months later I was back in Seattle a different voice answered: Information.' I asked for Sally.


'Are you a friend?' she said.


'Yes, a very old friend,' I answered.


'I'm sorry to have to tell you this,' she said. 'Sally had been working More...

Mo, how far is your home from the village?

Jerry... That brought a tear to my eye. Wonderful story.

anne, we live in the village, sort of on the edge.
But where he was sighted Sunday night, and it was a pretty clear description of him, is the complete other side at least a kilometre even straight across the fields and vineyards

Thank you to everyone who left me such lovely "Happy Birthday" messages. It is lovely to be acknowledged! Today we're traveling home after a pleasant post-Christmas getaway along the coast, and my husband is getting anxious to hit the road. Cheers to all.

Good afternoon to all! Interesting photo. The Terracotta Army comes to life!

GMo, I've still got my fingers crossed. I will cross my eyes, legs & toes... and say a little cat prayer.

Debby, I'm sorry but...

No eggs today,
The hens all went astray,
And since they didn't lay,
There's no omelette on it's way.

Mo, I know how much Sammi means to you and Steve, but please try not to worry yourself sick. I hope he shows up or is found quickly.

My heart is with you, Mo ... and I wish I could lend my eyes and ears to the search ...

A patient went to the Doctor and asked him to check his leg. "Something is wrong. Just put your ear up to my thigh, you'll hear it!"
The doctor cautiously places his ear to the man's thigh only to hear, "Give me $10! I'm desperate! I need $10!"
"I've never seen or More...

GannieMo, my thoughts are with you. Good luck in your search; I can only imagine how distressed you are.

Gmo, good thoughts for Sammi's return.

Glenn, thanks for the rememberances. We should never forget to pay honor and give thanks.

Hi Sue,
I'm making a change to my dessert at New Year's Eve dinner.
The argument is that comice-pears go well with blue-cheese.
Accordingly I am experimenting with combining a soft, creamy blue-cheese (dolcelatta), with the black muscat wine, and then filling halved pears with that; and instead of serving with cream I am using plain ice-cream.
I think that will be superb.

GMo:
One of our cats went missing once. It had got locked in a neighbour's garage.
A friend of mine had workmen in and the cat went missing. It turned up nailed beneath the floor-boards some days afterwards - emaciated but OK. Keep thinking where, GMo. Where have you been around the house? Somewhere unusual where it might be trapped?

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday. Just spending a quiet day at home with take-out for dinner. And no pav from Gail, because she ate it all!

TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday To Ya…

Gmo,got my fingers crossed for Sammi's safe return. C/Greg my thoughts exactly on the photo today. LOL

Jerry, I needed those tissues...but bounced back with Gregs ..broke in three places

Inspiring, Jerry.

Best darn motoring music ever.

At my home, on New Year Day we will be eating the following:
shrimp steamed in sake - shrimp = longevity
kamaboko - fish cake colored red and white = the rising sun
kazunoko - herring roe = fertility
kobu-maki - rolled kelp (pun off of yoroKOBU - happiness)
kachiguri - dried chestnut More...

Something sounds kind of fishy, Shosho ... ... but I'm game to try all of it!

Maen friends. North wind is tossing the trees, the red dust is over the ground and it is going to be a hot day.
Heartwarming story, Jerry.
Gmo, I know how worried you are. Maybe if you concentrate on sending loving and calming thoughts to sammo you will feel less tense. And, after all, you have all of us around the worls doing the same.

Heck, Judy, if it crawls, swims, sits, even vegetates in the ocean, it will find its way on a Japanese dinner table!
I took my mom to an aquarium and as we viewed the different tanks, she kept saying, "I wonder if we can get that one for dinner, I wonder how much that one would cost?" I had to explain that these were for viewing not for eating!!!
