i was so excited about visiting bethel.
it was a dream come true.
all my life i was told that i had to visit bethel.
We liked the rum-and-raisin ice cream. I remember having fish every Friday (?!?!?!?!?), as well as ice cream.
Once, we had a cobbler made with concord grapes -- not seedless. How do you spit out seeds with a mouthful of cobbler?
Of course, you had to work there in order to live the dream of the festive board . . .
greetings, my aging friends:.
it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.
Thanks, Nancy, for your post.
I'm sorry about your experiencing such pain (only when you walk!). Replacement surgery may help, but there are risks, which I don't need to go into. Suffice it to say, there are no guarantees.
Wishing you a relatively pain-free day!
Love,
CoCo

Thanks, Sylvia, for the vote of confidence!
There are lots of crazy canines (and owners) out there! We go on gentle walks -- that's all I can handle -- as I scout out places to sit down. I leave the power walks to Poochie's family!
Later, . . .

last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.
she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!
but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.
I'm so sorry, Darkknight.
There are no words, but we who have experienced this know the numbness, the helplessness.
Love,
CoCo

Wonderful, Sylvia!
Nice when JW family talks to you!
Think of me while I walk -- in about half an hour -- a bouncing-off-the-wall and scenery-chewing BIG Husky pup. Walking alone (solo, that is) is sufficient challenge.
Well, it beats scrubbing floors . . . I think.
Blessings and peace, beloved friend.

in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.
I'm glad to do my part, Sylvia!

Cachinnate . . .
has been whooping it up in English since the 19th century.
The word derives from the Latin verb cachinnare, meaning "to laugh loudly," and "cachinnare" was probably coined in imitation of a loud laugh. As such, "cachinnare" is much like the Old English "ceahhetan," the Old High German kachazzen, and the Greek kachazein - all words of imitative origin that essentially meant "to laugh loudly."
Our word cackle has a different ancestor than any of these words (the Middle English "cakelen"), but this word, too, is believed to have been modeled after the sound of laughter.

It's good to have you here, Syl, on a site where we cite sources that are a sight for sore eyes.
