Reception/ Tasty Thursday

Tasty Thursday
Last Friday night was the graduation of my youngest daughter's boyfriend. So we attended a standing room only gymnasium event. After a 55 hour work week, my feet can't take that anymore so we took a seat elsewhere and waited until the commencement was over to attend the reception. No photos of that but I have to give kudos to this rural school that allows use of classrooms for receptions for individual families. Such a nice idea!  Our apologies to the family that we didn't eat their delicious-looking treats as we have to keep gluten cross-contamination forever in the back of our minds. It was an honor to be invited to attend both events and we want to say 'Thank you'.
In honor of the couple,
I'd like to share a little romantic music I'm particularly fond of lately.

The Art of the Note Tuck/ Tasty Thursday

I was beeboppin' along last weekend stuffing pickles in jars from our garden.........

I'm not known for a prettily packed jar of pickles just for the record.

 

Had them in the boiling water bath to seal up........

 

 They did turn out pretty after all.

Sweet Pickles. Ready to eat in 4 to 6 weeks.
 

And in the midst of all that canning, I found a little gem of a note, tucked away for a future smile.

Translation: "I believe in you Santa, but my friend Dunken does not."

Dunken, you are pretty well on the Coal list for Christmas.

Sorry guy!

Dedicating this Tasty Thursday to my youngest daughter :)

Vows

This is the one letter that gave me trouble. Everyone has theirs and this was mine (this year). So lets get on with it.

List of Kinds of Vows:

1.  Wedding vows
2. Divine vows
3. Monastic vows
4. Presidential vows  **I could have went on and on with this topic but I'm really not into disputes**
5. Congressional vows  **same as above**
6. Vows to pledge honor  to your country  #OOH RAH! to my Marine Vet husband#
7. Vows of revenge  **I do NoT Recommend**
8. Vows of declaration  (ex. "Well, I vow it is as fine a boy as ever was seen!" Henry Fielding)
9. Personal vows **to finish this blog challenge**

So just throwing out there that I am feeling "Venerated" (feeling of awe). Definitely Valuing each and every Visit and comment of you Virtuous people who I'm priviledged to meet on this Virtual space.

Reconsidering

Upon careful reflections, I have decided to use this blog again. I hope Blogger won't disappoint me but I'm hoping to give it a whirl. Now what will I talk about??????

Making up for lots of lost time.

You're welcome :)
