1948 Cartoon

Got this YouTube video in my email this morning. Had to share it. It's from 1948. Amazing isn't it?


Hubby and I had a great weekend presenting an Engaged Encounter retreat. It's wonderful to see all the starry-eyed engaged. It was heart-warming to hear how so many of them were truly preparing for a sacramental marriage.

The Imp went on a homeless retreat. She lucked out with warm weather, but still managed to sprain her ankle. The Singer came home to help out and enjoyed a night at home alone. Living in a dorm doesn't lead to much alone time.

Christmas is now looming...Advent starts Sunday and then Christmas someone comes in the blink of an eye. I'm off to JoAnn's to buy supplies for the gifts I'm making the girls. The Singer actually reads my blog occasionally so I can't be more specific.

Lettuce, beans and peppers from my garden are delicious. Had some bug attack my cucumbers, but I think I have it under control and have a number of new cukes growing.

The girls really don't like turkey, so I'm planning BBQ ribs, garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, jello salad, fresh baked rolls, green salad, and apple pie and Mrs. Apel's fudge pie for dessert. Mrs. Apel's fudge pie is a favorite from my childhood. My brother, Chris, often made this for family gatherings. I'm bring 2 when we go to Orlando on Friday to meet most of my family after their 4 day cruise. I think they'll like it.
