It's been slow on and off here for me today. Sometimes I just give up and come back a half hour later and it's working fine again.

[LutherNut]

Awww, that's sweet LN!

Hey, don't get any ideas. I've seen what's been going on in the LCMS/WELS forum.

Too much mush! ;)

[C.F.W. Walther]

THis is the time that the kids get on the net and play games and use up alot of the bandwidth. Then later on the parents get on after work and crank it up some more. Ususally levels off around 9PM

[DaRev]

CF is no slower than it usually is (which is slow). I am, however, unable to access my email at the moment. :eek:

This happens frequently, though. There are times I can't get on at all.

And I don't blame it on Verizon.

[seajoy]

Sounds like you're pretty sweet on that girl, LN! :)

[C.F.W. Walther]

I'm a service tech for an ISP and I monitor activity through our ISP and this is the most active time of the day.

[LilLamb219]

That's true, Rad. I think it's CF's servers though that are having the heavy load since we do have games here (somewhere...I don't play them). My ISP connection to other sites ZOOM, so I know it's not that :)

It's working OK right now. It's rather quick now in fact.

Ha! I'll bet I can guess what that might be. ;)

Fire up the grill while you're out there. That's what I plan to do. :thumbsup:

I don't have anything to put on it, though.

What are you having?? :wave: ;)

[seajoy]

I'm having cereal. Hubby called, and he's going to be late from work, so he stopped at McDonald's. :sigh:

On Thursday, March 29, at 10 PM Eastern (9 PM Central), the National Geographic Channel will be airing a special called "Impossible Moves: Colossal Churches." There is a very good chance that my wife and father-in-law will appear on the special as they were both interviewed during the filming.

The church that is being moved is Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) in rural Audubon, IA. This is the church where my wife and I were married. My wife attended this church as a child. In addition to our wedding, she was baptized and confirmed at Trinity. We have the distinction of being the last couple married in the church before it closed.

If you get National Geographic Channel, check out what promises to be an interesting show.

Little monkey toes just informed me she's not too hungry so we'll have salads later....sorry.

I am grilling fajitas for my pastor and his wife on Thursday. It's our first, in-home catechism class for my daughter. Yay!

Do you know what real fajitas are?

You would love my fajitas, beans and guacamole. It's good stuff! Fajitas can be eaten like steak, too, ya know. ;)

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. I just had to make a couple more quick posts to get to the blessings I needed to change it. This one looks quite a bit easier to read.

I tried posting in the kitchen and it won't let me???

CF is giving me error messages there....some unrepented sin, maybe???

[RedneckAnglican]

yeah..it was acting funny last night...

[Renatus]

You know, it's too nice a day to be sitting here.

I'm going outside and inbibe in a nice cold Lutheran beverage.
What Lutheran beverage? :scratch:

Yesterday I sat in the garden and drank some good old German beer with my grandpa. That's the best what you can do in such sunny evening. :yum:

[RedneckAnglican]

ahhhh...beer...

i think i will go get one...

[Renatus]

ahhhh...beer...

i think i will go get one...

What sort of beer?

For me it's to early for beer, here is 11 a.m.

[RedneckAnglican]

it's early here as well...409 am...

I have some Shiner Bock "Hefeweizen"

good stuff...

[Renatus]

Hehe, a Hefeweizen at 4. a.m. :D
But you are right, good stuff.

Normally, I drink pils like Becks or some local beers. I think we only have "Krombacher" in the basement at the moment.

[RedneckAnglican]

haven't had one of those in ages...

mein Mutter vas Deutsch...so you'd be amazed what I have a taste for...that and we live in south central Texas...HUGE German population...a Lutheran in every pot and 2 beers in every garage...

[Melethiel]

I woke up this morning and my entire leg was asleep. :eek: Almost fell over getting out of bed to turn off my alarm! :D

[synger]

I had pizza last night (smoked red peppers, mushrooms, onions, feta cheese, turkey pepperoni, and garlic), and drank a Yuengling Porter.

We watched the new James Bond movie we got through Netflix. It was long, and could use some editing and a bit of tightening of the story. But all in all I was pleased with the portrayal, and enjoyed the movie very much.

[LilLamb219]

Anyone watch American Idol or House last night? That's what I did.

[porterross]

It's been close to 24 hours since I was last able to visit any threads. :scratch:

NM...your character must have been hung up in the server closet or something. :P

[LilLamb219]

Porter, were they briefs or boxers?? ^_^

[porterross]

Looked like boxers to me, but it's been a while since I was exposed to such shocking things. :P

[C.F.W. Walther]

You guys done playing patticake? Some of this would be better left said on PM. My virgin ears ;)

[LilLamb219]

Testing, one, two three. Is this thing on?

;)

[QuiltAngel]

I have had problems posting all day. When I could get this far and write a post, I would get this message saying I could only post once every 30 seconds, even though I had not posted since the wee hours of the morning. If this goes through, I did not get that message this time.

[QuiltAngel]

Wow, it went through. Maybe this site is now working!

[LilLamb219]

Yep, looks like we're back up and running once again!

[seajoy]

Are we able to PM again?

[QuiltAngel]

I feel so for the site owners when this happens. I am sure they wree working furiously getting this back on.

[seajoy]

That's for sure QA. I wonder what happened?

[dinkime]

looks like we might be back!! yay!!

[porterross]

Darn, I was almost finished cleaning house!

[The Princess Bride]

That's for sure QA. I wonder what happened?
Well...ummm...ya see...there was this big red button...and I....ummmm....yeah:sorry: :o

IF we ever do play pattyfingers there will be no computers involved. ;)

You're all being very good chaperones, though. :P

[dinkime]

2 more days of work this week! yay!

[Jim47]

Not for me. I took off today and tommorow to get some work done around the house. Only it will be harder work then if I was working :doh: but still I'll enjoy it more. :)

Good for you, Jim. I should get some work done around, but....I 've been awful lazy the past few days.

[Melethiel]

Somebody let me know when this semester is over...I'm running up against so many deadlines it's not funny.

[synger]

Feeling better this morning. I've been vacillating between hopeful and thoroughly stressed and depressed about work all week. Yesterday afternoon I ended up in tears. So I went home and dug in the yard for a while, praying the whole time. I feel MUCH better today, and am fasting for guidance on my job.

Meanwhile, we got the half-truck of wood chips dumped on our driveway this morning. I'm taking tomorrow off to help Hunter get The New Playset from the toy store. Then we'll see how much more ground prep we need to do before beginning set up. (Not sure if it needs cement anchors or what, and won't know until we get the instructions)

So far we've dug up the whole rock garden (who knew there were so many rocks under those clumps of greenery??) and tried to salvage some of the plants -- the blueberry bushes and the daffodil bulbs, primarily. Everything else went into the compost.

It's quite a project, but Gem is going to have SO much fun on this new wooden playset. It's got swings and a slide and a fort with a picnic table under it.

[seajoy]

Somebody let me know when this semester is over...I'm running up against so many deadlines it's not funny.
Ok, the semester's over. :)

[seajoy]

synger, sorry about work...that can be so hard on a person.

I'm sure little Gem will have a great time in the backyard. It's good that God gave you these outlets like working on your yard, for prayer time and such.

[Renatus]

Einen Wunderschönen Guten Tag, wünsche ich allen! ^_^

I feel with you synger!
I also have some stress, because of the examinations, but I make that somehow. The yard could be a good outlet, my is jogging in the wood and praying. The nature has something calmative.

[KagomeShuko]

Sounds like you're pretty sweet on that girl, LN! :)
We all know that Mel and LN are going to have a barefoot beach wedding! :P

[KagomeShuko]

Yeah, I couldn't log in yesterday - I'd try and I'd get some server error page.

I couldn't post too much day before yesterday.

I was talking about LN's sweetheart that he's courting, not Mel. He mentioned her in another thread.

[Melethiel]

Yes. I'm finishing my third year of university, which generally consists of a ton of things that need to get done.

Oh, I remember how stressful exams were! I'd rather have my work stress than go through that again. At work, there is the day-to-day stuff still to do, even when the craziness ensues. In school, the entire focus during that time was exams... that was all there was to study for or work on. So in some ways the stress was even more intense.

I'm glad you can go jogging in the wood. I find God speaks to me very strongly (and quietly) when I am in the woods or near water. His peace steals over me and His healing calms and soothes my troubled spirit.

A barefoot beach wedding would still be nice, but it would be with a different cast of characters.

Besides, Mel left me for some "intellectual type." Besides, Ukranian is just too much work. ;)

I don't know when you can attend a univerity in your country, but in Germany the most people go soonest in the age of 18 or 19 to university.

Most American students go to university at 18 or 19, too. If you are very, very smart, and have been through an excelerated program in High School, you can sometimes go to university younger than 18, especially if you have a very strong gift in a particular subject.

It does not happen very often. Most of us go at the regular age. Mel is special, and very blessed. With it comes a number of attendant problems, I'm sure.

At one time on American TV, we had a show called "Doogie Howser, MD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doogie_Howser,_M.D.)", that was about a child prodigy who graduated from Princeton at age 10 (which stretches things quite a bit), then went to medical school, and was a practicing doctor of medicine as a teenager.

However, real life sometimes mirrors media. There was a Virginia boy who graduated from college at age 14 (http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/releases2003/child-june-4-2003.html). So while it is VERY unusual, it does happen.

I think I've heard of that, you can even see such stories at German TV.
In Germany I've never heard of such stories. I think it has something to do with the German bureaucracy. All has to conform to reguirements, no exeptions, but I'm not sure.
Attending university in the age of 18 or 19 is even early, normally you go in the age of 20 as a woman and 21 or 22 as a man to university. The men have to do their military or civilian service, so they are losing a year.

[C.F.W. Walther]

[QuiltAngel]

Our High Schools go to grade 12 and the age when a student graduates is 17 or 18. Usually close to 18. I know that in Gymnasium, there is a 13th grade and you are usually 18 - 19 when you are finished. I am also aware of the other two types of schools there, where the requirements are different.

There are not many who go to University younger than 18 in this country. Mel is a very intelligent young lady and I am sure she works hard too.

Do not worry about using your English here. As you have seen, if we are not sure, we will ask. I think it is great that you are willing to talk with us here and by doing so, you will learn how we speak and write English which will help you.

By the way, I have worked with foreign exchange students for the last 7 years and you are doing very well with English.

My oldest stepson has started his PhD in Patho-Biology.....I have no idea what that means.

[Melethiel]

Study of diseases.

[mike1reynolds]

Study of diseases.
Are you going to become a doctor?

Are you aware of how morally corrupt the medical industrial complex is? I'm not trying to dissuade you from becoming a doctor, somebody has to fix it, I just wonder how much you know about it?

It is a mater of particular concern to me because I had been slowly dying all of my life from severe disturbances in the Krebs cycle and the electron transfer chain. Only as of the last few months have I finally been able to make some serious improvement in my health since I figured this out. I was on my last legs, thanks to the pharmaceutical industry’s ability to blackball teaching about any unpatientable substance at medical universities.

[Melethiel]

Yes, I want to get an M.D.
Yes, I know that the American health system is a mess.

[mike1reynolds]

Specifically what kind of mess though? Most people know that, but few know there is more than just financial corruption involved, but also malfeasance.

[porterross]

Having sharp, morally grounded Christians in the medical field sure can't hurt.

[synger]

Well, we got the playset -- five boxes worth. Had to rent a U-Haul to get it. Dragged the old one to the dump, along with some other big things. Then broke open the boxes and began taking pieces to the backyard. When Gem got out of school we headed to Home Depot for a few tools we needed for the project (and a few we probably don't need but they looked cool). Then she helped me sort nuts and bolts and screws according to size into about 20 different little containers, because they had all come in three big bags mixed up together.

We got phase one done before dark, at least. One out of 23. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

But the playset (http://www.adventureplaysets.com/play_sets.php?y=2007&ps=59)is going to be amazing when it's done.

I take Psych next year. These are my classes for next semester:

Intro to Psychology
Beginning German
Inorganic Chemistry
World Musics
Pipe Organ

After this semester, I will be finished with the required pre-med sequence. I still want to take microbiology somewhere down the line.

[The Princess Bride]

I still want to take microbiology somewhere down the line.Just as a word of caution.....this class will make you VERY "germ" conscious for about a year!...and the study of helminths (worms) is DISGUSTING....I became a vegetarian for almost a full month after that chapter...:sick:

But...the lab portion is the best..I loved making my own bacteria cultures on the petri-dishes...and then dying them to put on slides and view! It was awesome.:D

[Melethiel]

No microbio lab for me....

[The Princess Bride]

No microbio lab for me....
Probably for the best! ;)

[BigNorsk]

Best part of microbiology is getting to study sewage. Fascinating, I got to do some independant study on a malfunctioning sewage plant. Didn't see a rotifer for months. Turned out the city power company was poisoning the city sewage plant.

Anyway, if you've never seen a rotifer go to http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/wimsmall/rotidr.html

They are like a big mouth with a sweep broom pushing the food in on each side.

Of course Pathogenic Microbiology was handy so I knew it was pneumococcal pneumonia I had.

I have gotten in trouble with doctors over the whole thing, when one talked about how he couldn't figure out why I got infections visiting his office, I suggested that he should try washing his hands. He didn't appreciate that, I wasn't coming back anyway.

My main teacher couldn't eat tuna out of a can. I still to this day consider it a major accomplishment to be able to cook a turkey and not have anyone get sick.

And don't talk to me about eating the fruits and vegetables flooding the market that come from third world countries. People wouldn't drink the water, but rinse a strawberry with the water that seems a lot like sewage to me, and they pop it in their mouth without a thought. That's not even mentioning that third world countries don't use porta potties, they just use the field when the urge strikes. Don't worry it's organic!

jello & its uses for the Lutheran church?

Jello Easter Eggs...

Love Those...

How about liturgically correct Jello salad...


...or is that redundant?

[Renatus]

I wish you a blessed sunday! :holy:

I have just watched a catholic mass in German TV, my first.
But it didn't convince me, I'm bothered by to much things.

[ctay]

My daughter in law is taking nursing classes, she'll start talking about stuff and I'll just sit there and go uh huh.

[ctay]

Can you ruin Jello making it?

[dinkime]

i am making jell-o for the Easter breakfast next week, i usually try & do jell-o eggs, but they always seem to break on me! so, i have resorted to plain jell-o in a bowl, lol

i am not making white jello because then it would be the white grape or plain, both of which i dislike, lol, so it will probably be red

[ctay]

I got to come up with something to make for breakfast at church next sunday too, don't know what to make since I won't have much time.

I'm making a Mighty Fortress for our church's Easter potluck. we have a castle cake pan, and there's a really good banana-chocolate chip cake recipe I've used in it before.

Any good April Fool's jokes today? Either that you played or were played on you?

This is the first year since my daughter was probably 4 years old that she didn't have something prepared for today! In fact, she kept denying that it was actually April LOL

[Jim47]

Hmm, I must be getting old. Plum forgot about April fools jokes. I am usually able to get a rise of my sweet wife :P

[KagomeShuko]

I went to college with a guy who just totally skipped high school and started college, too. Then he graduated in three years and went on to do his Masters elsewhere. . .

He did English, though, and perhaps French. . .not music and biology!

[KagomeShuko]

Yay! Got to see my friends on Friday night!

My first thought when I looked at my outfit in the mirror was that I looked like one of the characters from Lord of the Rings. The first thought when I saw this picture was that George looked like some evil little imp or something of that sort - that I should crop out his picture and shrink it, so I guess that is appropriate?

http://pics.livejournal.com/kagomeshuko/pic/0000c5ah
My sister said that I looked like a hippie. Okay, I think the outfit is cute no matter what. Michael mentioned that I was wearing a lot of blue to which I said, "so are you." I was the example slide girl, too. . .so, I guess we are both slide girls here!

http://pics.livejournal.com/kagomeshuko/pic/0000983h

I didn't think about looking like a hippie, the peace sign would've been perfect for this picture. . .

Hey, Rev! I dig the footwear. Do you "chancel prance" in those digs?
No. ^_^ I caught some grief from some people here when I wore a chausable for communion. If I showed up shoeless, I'd get run out on a rail!

I did try to get a couple of the acolytes at my vicarage congregation to go barefoot one Sunday. One of the boys came to church in his football uniform because he had a game right after. But his cleats were caked in mud and he couldn't wear them in church. So he went in his socks which were this deep royal blue. It looked strange with the red cassock and the white cotta, almost like a 4th of July parade. So I tried to convince him that it would look better without them than with them, but he couldn't be persuaded. He did look silly up there in red, white, and blue.^_^

Yep, lots of fun going on in there.

Hey Rev, you still need to relax during this week, don't leave our pillow fight entirely. (Hey, I can say that, I have to remind a certain Pastor of that every year)

I was on a mission trip and a Pastor was part of the group. Some of the team members were not happy that he wasn't pulling his weight so I suggested that maybe he should do a specific task as we needed his help. One of the members was shocked I would tell a Pastor what to do. I don't know, it might have something to do with the fact that I have this long term fling going on with mine! All legal and up and up, of course!

Well, off to Bible Study for me!

Of course it would depend on where I am at the time. I mean if I'm still here it might be doable. And if I get a call to Florida or Alabama or... Texas ( ;) ), it might work out a bit better. But northern Minnesota or Wisconsin or Buffalo in November? Hmmmm... let me mull over that...

Good pictures, Bridget!
How tall is Michael? Does he ever eat?
My dad is almost 6'3".

Michael and he were about the same height - I think my dad was just a bit taller. Yeah, I'm 5' so he's got to be a bit over 6'.

He eats. In fact, he had three apples in his backsack that night. I don't know when he ate them or if he did, but he had them. I think he and George were also going to go out for a pizza with the concert hosts.

Plus, when I hosted them, they all ate gumbo!

He's a runner, though - jogs probably every day and runs marathons, so. . .he's gonna be thin!

George bent down to my height in the picture where it's just the two of us. . .

Yes, rev, and this was just on Friday :) We didn't mention you though, sorry. We were a bit busy with other things - them, with the concert especially. Troy wasn't there to take care of all the merchandise, either (though that's good for me as it makes me talk to Michael instead. . .)

How is Windows Vista? (I'm not sure that my computer has the graphics capability for it...I have to run most computer games on medium graphic levels.)
Vista (as any new operating system) has compatibility problems with other software.
I usually do not upgrade an OS for about a year.

I stayed on 2000 for a long time before going XP. Again, software compatibility problems.

However, I upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 almost immediately. IE6 had too many holes.

I usually wait with an OS upgrade, yet apply all the patches, updates, service packs on the existing OS as soon as they come out.

[RedneckAnglican]

Would you care to recommend a better topic? :P

nah...not Lutheran anymore, so it wouldn't be right...

although i did get som funny looks when I used my BoC to teach youth group the other night...so the folks at my Church do think I'm still Lutheran...hey what can i say...right is right...

I'm not liking it for a variety of reasons. I don't like the way it handles giving error messages where no matter what you are doing or what program you're using, it makes you quit because the whole screen of the computer goes dim and then you get the error message.

I'm not too fond of the start menu, either, though it's not the worst. I preferred when the things in a list went away without me clicking on them again. If I had wanted that, I used the menus were it has the + and - boxes.

I don't like trying to find the MyDocuments type of folder, which is now like User/firstname.lastname/next file folder/next file folder

My mom had a really hard time getting it to connect to the Internet when the setup should've been simple.

It tends to set settings back to what it just wants a lot of times.

Our church is about 110 years old and we just installed A/C last year. Its only a small basic unit but does a really nice job. So nice to have. :thumbsup:

[synger]

Except that when he knelt at the rail, you'd get to see how dirty the bottom of his feet are. Ick!

One Sunday I noticed when people knelt that the Pastor's wife had 1962 written on the bottom of her shoes, very faintly.

I asked her about it later and she had no clue. Only thing we could think of was that maybe it was the price. But she'd had them for years, and seldom buys full-price shoes if she can help it.

Anyway, that's my kneeling-at-the-rail story.

[porterross]

That reminds me of a story a man from church tells of when he was married. His friends has painted "Help Me" on the bottom of his shoes for the entire congregation to see when they knelt.

[Renatus]

My BF's church (building) is going on over 200+ yrs old, so NO A/C OR heat. Summer services are quite...:sorry: sweaty.

Hehe, our church is about 1000 years old, not in whole, but the main chamber. It was an old Saxon castle building, but it had been completed in the past by a little tower and a little room behind the altar. The Worship room is made up of stone and has big walls, so in summer it's always cool inside the most time. In winter there is a good heating.
If I could, I would post a picture, but I think it doesn't work, because of my amount of posts.

I think an A/C is an air conditioner. :scratch:

A quick funny from Bell Choir last night:

Older Bell Choir Mate: Kae, why are your fingernails PURPLE?

Kae (debating on whether it would be appropriate to wear black fingernail polish to Good Friday services.)

This morning, my youngest is waiting for a recruiter to stop by with information on which jobs he qualifies for. This boy does not know what he wants to do past graduation in May. College interests him, but not really since he is so not sure what he wants to study. He has talked to recruiters of all branches except the Marines. The type of positions he is interested in are those that are usually away from any hot spots.

There were Five country churches in a small TEXAS town:
The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church , the Methodist Church , the Lutheran Church and the Jewish Synagogue.

Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.
After much prayer and consideration they Determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistry and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But -- The Lutheran Church came up with the best and most effective solution.
They confirmed the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter


Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue, but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision and they haven't seen a squirrel on the property since.

We have a partly-potluck breakfast. The Fellowship Committee makes egg casseroles, and people sign up for the rest. I signed up to make "coffee cake" so I made my banana-chocolate chip Bundt cake in the castle-shaped mold, and pulled out the hand-colored rainbow sign Gem made that says "A Mighty Fortress is Our God". *grins* It's usually a big hit.

Tomorrow afternoon we're going to the in-laws, and I'm bringing veggies. Cold broccoli salad and hot herbed carrots (dill, lemongrass, chives). It'll be the first family thing my husband and his younger brother have been to since Christmas.. when they got into such a political debate that the brother sent my husband a not-so-nice letter saying he never wanted to talk to him again, nor hear about our loser friends, and explained in insidious detail how disappointed he was that my husband hadn't made more of his life (hadn't finished college, etc).

We've been praying for reconciliation for months. They've talked once since then. This will be the first full-family "thing" where they'll have to interact.

Should be interesting.

That is so "sari" :)

Yes....plenty of hymns. :P

[Melethiel]

My real outfit for tomorrow is a long pink hippie-style skirt and a white blouse, with lavender jewelry. I was planning on wearing a short yellow-green wraparound skirt, but it got cold all of a sudden. :eek:

For Guidance.
O GOD, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light riseth up in darkness for the godly; Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what thou wouldest have us to do, that the Spirit of Wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in thy light we may see light, and in thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

It's 63/45 here. Not all THAT cold, but too cold for short skirts.

[DaRev]

There, my character is all ready for Easter. :D

Uh-oh... :eek: :help:

You may want to change that dress. Melinda has the same one on and I know how you women are about being seen in the same outfits.

[LilLamb219]

Melinda? :scratch:

I don't mind. My character has a skirt similar to my real one, but I can't find a proper blouse in the CF store, so this dress will have to do.

i am still wearing what i got for Easter, no matter the weather!! i have a knee length skirt & a short sleeve polo shirt, however, my purple leather jacket matches, lol...and black shoes with no backs, lol, and no hoses of any sort because they are torture, lol

[LilLamb219]

I have a pastel-flowered skirt that goes below my knee and a t-shirt that matches it to wear tomorrow. I'm gonna freeze! :sigh:

Yeah, I hear you. Closest I ever come to hose is the black stockings I wear for choir concerts. I don't really have any shoes that match my outfit, so I'll probably end up wearing my usual black high-heel sandals.

[LilLamb219]

I hate wearing nylons so much...but I do it anyway. They usually get removed in the car on the way home (if hubby is driving) as I CANNOT stand them (itch, itch, scratch, scratch).

[RedneckAnglican]

I haven't worn hose since high school...most of the guys that played football (in north Texas winters) would use them to wear under thier football pants to stay warm...people laughed and we didn't care...we could still move our legs in the 4 th quarter...

[KagomeShuko]

I didn't get any special Easter outfit and I'm glad. I know SLEET in Lake Charles in April?!?!? What's going on here?!?!?

I've got a nice warm terri cloth dress that I can wear. I'll probably just wear yoga pants under it as it depends on my mood with nylons and I don't really like them to stay "warm." I'm usually cold in them if it's cold.

We're singing Allen Potes' "Wake Up To A World of Light" tomorrow. No sunrise service. . .and the news is even reporting that this is the oddest Easter forecase Lake Charles has ever had!

Stein Auf!

We Had Sleet Here This Evening As Well...in San Antonio...something Ani't Right...

[The Princess Bride]

Man, it's cold! But I LOVE It! :D

We had to rethink our Easter wardrobe as well. No flowery spring dresses for us. I just unpacked our full length dress coats for in the morning. Can you believe there is snow all around us...in West Texas!

My poor little grandmother said she was freezing so I layered her in balnkets and tucked in her like a bed bug. This is crazy.

[QuiltAngel]

It is crazy! We have had below freezing temps and wind chills of about zero. Same for Easter. Snow in the forecast by Wednesday!
