Today being the third Saturday of the month, some of us from the “nurturing” team at Holy Moly/St Nicholas were at Asbury Park for the ecumenical service we do. On my way in, I spotted this on the schedule board for the day: there we are at 10:30, in direct competition with the Wii Bowling. And let me say, the Wii virtual bowlers were kicking ass and having a great time, from the sound of it. We had a pretty good time too – Tim from choir showed up, so we “made a choir” and stood together. Finished with “Amazing…

Choirmistress Mary does a lot for us, and frequently pays out of pocket for new music and things she thinks we need in order to look and sound like a seasoned choir, and not a ragtag group that formed a little over a year ago. So one of our members found a Christmas ornament that mirrored a unicorn print that Mary has in her home and we presented it to her last night. We also had a wonderful surprise from another choir member who’s been battling brain cancer; she got amazing news from her oncologist. Let’s not say “miracle” yet,…

UPDATE: Posted via Flickr so that my husband David could find his car where I parked it, as his flight schedule was changed and we decided he’d taxi to where I work, pick up his car which I drove in, and he’d get me at the end of the day. This was so he’d have a ride to and from work, and so on. The logistics of married people are not fascinating, but they do take a lot of work. It all worked out satisfactorily at the end of the day: so very nice to see my hubby when he…

My sister-in-law made these the other night for Easter dinner, and the “whack-a-mole” method of dealing with the potatoes seemed like a good stress-buster. Besides, we have a long-handled meat tenderizer with a flat side, which worked extremely well at smacking the potatoes (we didn’t cut them in half, as they were smaller than the ones the other night). However, the cutting board did not survive; it already had a couple of splits and was not very high quality, and it split right down the middle as we whacked away at the spuds. It did work really well to hold…

“Dream stakeout at donut shoppe” The local constabulary is in the habit of parking in the empty lot next to Dunkin Donuts, rather than take up a lot of spaces in their rather small lot. Either that, or they think that nobody will see them if they hide behind the bushes.

It stopped working and I didn’t notice, but I refreshed settings and now it’s working again. Yay!

Comfort food place across from the hospital. Actually, the food wasn’t all that good, but there were plenty of nom nom nom good side dishes. Via: Flickr Title: 03-05-08_1921.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 14 Mar ’08, 9.31pm CDT PST

Yeah, yeah, hate us because we’re in Maui, AGAIN. This time our karma must not have been good, as we had a series of mishaps as soon as we landed at Kahului. The door to the plane was stuck or the jetway wouldn’t extend, so we were stuck for about half an hour in the aisle. Then the car rental went really smooth, except that Avis gave us a bigger SUV than we’d hoped for, although their Preferred Express service is AWEsome. I couldn’t reach anyone at the condo who could tell us what our unit number was – I…

Right, so this was the result. The bags came out of the saucepans full of boiling water, and were distributed via a pair of tongs and some scissors, because the bags tended to melt at the top if they came into contact with the hot edge of the pans. Melissa’s and Gloria’s bags were completely fused at the top and my mother-in-law was struggling to separate them until the scissors were brought to the table. She noted as how it would be more convenient if they had sat next to each other… but soon enough the Siamese twin bag omelets…

Via: Flickr Title: 06-19-07_1942.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 19 Jun ’07, 7.43pm CDT PST The Village, its wisdom, decided to repave all the streets in our subdivision this summer, and the notification letter was received Wednesday, when we went out of town. Although they’d previously announced we’d have more notice, they actually gave only 2 days’ warning before taking off the first layer of asphalt, on Friday. We returned Sunday night from our trip to find that the street was blocked off to thru traffic, but somewhat driveable. Good thing we moved the cars this morning before we left, they…
