The Party's Over

Yahoo!

Yesterday's beach themed bridal shower was a big success.

Today, I'm spending the day in bed.

Betsy, the party was in honor of my nephew's fiance. Their wedding will be at the beach next month.

I wish you could have tasted my daughter in law's Italian Creme cupcakes...they were too die for!!! The menu included Chess Squares, homemade pimento cheese, cream cheese, basil and pesto and chicken salad sandwiches. There were fresh berries in cupcake papers and yummy buttery-sweet Chex cereal with pecans and pretzels. The punch was a pineapple/coconut creme/lemon lime soda/maraschino cherry juice/vanilla ice cream concoction.

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.'
