Catching Up; Getting Ahead and "Crazy Ladies"

Thanks to Kristin Strohmeyer, photos taken during last night's performance of the "Crazy Ladies." She says that the play really is quite funny and that "the kids did a great job."

(Considering the color of the walls and the physical appearance of the "ladies," I think I'd fit right in, there!)

From WKTV: "Expect generally cloudy skies Saturday with a few widely scattered showers. Highs in the low 50s.

This storm system leaves by Sunday, meaning more sunshine and a pleasant finish to the weekend. Highs on Sunday near 60 degrees!"

"Weather lore has been around since people needed to predict the weather and plan their activities. Sailors and farmers relied on it to navigate ships and plant crops.

In the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3,) Jesus said, 'When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.'

In 'Venus and Adonis' Shakespeare wrote,

'Like a red morn that ever yet betokened,
Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field,
Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.' "

In Yesterday's Mail: A note from Fr. Tom Servatius to let blog readers know that "the 50/50 raffle for (Saturday) is already up over $1000.00 with the prize winner to receive over $500.00. Since all proceeds benefit our Building Fund, wouldn't it be great to see the prize grow to over $1000.00 and our Building Fund share do the same?"

BAZAAR OPENS AT 9:00!

I received a 'phone call from "Mohawk Valley Living" to tell me that Yes: Sharry, Lance and Richard HAD been in Waterville on Wednesday, visiting places and talking with people (which is something that they do better than most!) but they ran out of daylight and, so, they'll be back again next Wednesday. Waterville will NOT be the featured destination of tomorrow morning's program.

And now, back to Shanghai with Glen Carroll!



"Shanghai is under permanent smog warning this week. Please take me home to upstate NY!!!! "



"These buildings are only 100 meters away!"



"They (bikes) are still a primary way to transport people and products. Every road has bike lanes. This is an improvement from 2 yrs ago. Then the bikes were mixed in with the traffic."




"Friday stuffed fish. Who wants the head????"




"Fried Ears. Don't ask whose!!!"


(Gee! I couldn't help Googling that: it must be pig's ears - very tasty (one remark said,) when served with Bernaise Sauce and a salad of fried Watercress. I'll just take the salad and the sauce, please!)
