Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen?

Here are my girlies modeling the aprons I made for them a couple of months ago.

Oh yeah, that handsome guy in the background is my son! And what do you think about that sofa? Only at the beach, huh?

Didn't Gramma do a great job? The eldest has tied hers on more than once when she had homemaking intentions :-)

I still marvel sometimes that I'm the one who was blessed enough to get to marry that handsome guy (and get the great mother in law in the deal)!

Very cute aprons! And your sofa looks mild compared to the one we had in our beach condo-ha! You're right, only at the beach!
I have been out of pocket the last few days and didn't get to say that the 11 postcard idea is great with me! Looking forward to it!

Your girls look like they're real "hams" in front of the camera (our 3 girls have been like that forever). You guys have a great weekend.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
