I don’t understand. What does “ too much pie” mean?

LOL. So many in my family, Hombre and myself included, are trying to shave off some extra pounds, ANY pie is 'too much' these days. Not that it stops us from having a piece of traditional pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving though. We'll probably do the same at Christmas.

One of our puppies born last year turned out to be stone deaf. The unconcerned one above reminds me of deaf Spotty, as he lives in his own little world, but I love him just as much as the ones with acute hearing faculties.

Worked all morning on a vertical yellow brick quilt with red and green sashes. Need a little nap now due to puppies waking up in the middle of the night. It would be great if I could complete the quilt. The hard part is done, though. Wow it's the end of November today. Where'd the time go?

Hombre and I were just talking about it being the last day of November. Cold and rainy in Albuquerque today but it's a slow rain and we desperately need the moisture. So we decorate the house for Christmas tomorrow, December 1. Will do a little more than I had planned again this year as our son and family just advised they'll be here for Christmas. That makes for a lot more work but it makes me happy.

In the morning Hombre and our son will be enroute to Arkansas for the funeral. Neither are in the the best of health. I can't go and leave Aunt Betty. Prayers please for them and all the family.

And we keep the light on so others who have been away can find their way back and we hope they will.

Without getting into a discussion on religious beliefs in the Coffee Shop, back in the 1990s I was teaching Bible in a large adult Sunday School class at our church. And we were on the issue of how reliable was the oral tradition of the ancient Jews when it came time, many years later, to write down events that made it into the Bible.

I used the illustration of when Kennedy was shot. How those of us who experienced it 30+ years later remembered it vividly, who we were with and what we felt when we first heard, things people said. How we saw Kennedy and then his assassin shot on TV. And most of us spent a long weekend watching the funeral proceedings the likes of which probably no one will ever see again in the USA. And how any one of us could write down a credible account of those events and that funeral. We would likely get some things wrong, some events out of sequence. Different ones of us would remember different details. But each one of us could write a pretty credible account.

Turned out there were a lot of WWII veterans and their wives and others of that generation in my class. And they said they not only remembered the Kennedy assassination vividly but 50 years later they also remembered Pearl Harbor vividly and just as clearly. And all the people's reaction to it.

Oral tradition re certain things can be pretty darn good.

I’d like a blackberry . pecan . maple smoothie I’m thinking..

I’d like a blackberry . pecan . maple smoothie I’m thinking..

Make it walnuts and you're on. I generally use raw unrefined honey as a sweetener in my smoothies--never refined sugar--but pure maple syrup isn't a horrible choice. Pricey. But not horrible.
