musical priest Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Ok, he's not trying out the concertina - yet. But isn't this little Jesus with his musical interest too sweet anyway? Merry Christmas! Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Chambers Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Co. Clare had a rare white(-ish) Christmas Peter, It might have settled for a while up where you are, but in Kilrush we had various showers of rain and hail, our short fall of snow didn't stand a chance of doing so here. Nice to see it on Christmas Day though. I would say it was pretty cool for the annual 10.00 AM swim at Cappa Pier ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Michael, The painting is beautiful. Simply beautiful. Thank your wife for me. It is the image I will keep as this Christmas's spirit. Thank you. Merry Christmas as the day draws to an end. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musical priest Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Claus, I love it! Where does it come from? The postcard simply said "master from the 15th century". A humorous master he must have been . Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Laban Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Peter The tractor looks like an early 1950's Fergusson (Massey) ??? jeff The old Massey Fergusons are probably indistructable, several of the neighbours are still using them daily and they are fairly common around here still. There's a house nearly Cooraclare that has five of them out front, all different colours parked in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Ah thanks, Chris, You made me laugh. Which is good since I just came in after an hour and a half of chopping up the ice chunks deposited 3 feet high in my driveway by the highway grader. Thank goodness my neighbor took pity and came and helped. Or I'd still be out there. Your joke was funny. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellowbelle Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Two Snowmen talking "Can you smell carrots" ? Snow and carrots together in the same sentence shall forever make me think of 'random acts of kindness,' or neighborliness.... One winter here, we had a really, REALLY bad snowstorm. I needed carrots for something I was cooking. The roads were hardly plowed and as I recall I couldn't manage to get to the 'real' grocery store for some reason. I went about 2 miles to one of the local farm stand/stores (Deershorn Farm). Road conditions were so bad, they were closed!!!! But, there was a man on a snowplow there, clearing out the farm store area, and he shut off his plow, asked me what I needed, went and unlocked his store and sold me some carrots...then locked up again and went back to plowing. Now, that was nice. Most people would have just said, 'Sorry, we're closed.' And I would have had NO CARROTS!!!!! Exactly why I had to have carrots so badly, even after a storm -- I don't know. Maybe that was one of the times we'd been snowed in for hours, so any excuse for going to a store after finally getting out was okay. All you snowed-in and iced-over people have my sympathy. We've got a storm going on right now, though I haven't really looked to see how bad it is. In winter, I just want to hibernate and not go out again until spring....no, make that summer! Off-topic but maybe more on-topic, really....I dunno (this IS the 'Christmas Card' thread, right?)...though it's the day AFTER Christmas, I recorded one verse of singing/playing the Christmas song I can do half-okay with my EC, 'It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.' It's tolerable, I guess. It's at: http://geocities.com/geranimom/progs.html I know I have to go outside...still must walk the dogs. Yuck. Why doesn't everyone (and dogs) just sleep away the next few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
