Bubble, thank you for the pictures of Judea and Jerusalem. My Bible study group had a Lenten season study with the video by Steve Ray called The Footprints of God a pilgrimage through the Holy Land. Steve Ray is an expert pilgrimage guide, and producer of the award-winning Footprints of God DVD series that has been featured on EWTN and Netflix.

I was truly in awe watching those videos. I have a few friends who have visited the Holy Land and the pictures they shared were amazing. I can't imagine living in this place and seeing it daily.
I am praying for peace on earth. Happy Hanukkah to you.

Good Morning, OLM. My town here in NC actually has a diner called The Shiny Diner and is family owned. It is very popular with the locals and only about a mile from my house. My husband and I used to eat there fairly often when my husband was still alive and I was able to get around. Even has the old time juke box with some old time music on it. It's a fun place with a Southern menu and great employees. A place "where everybody knows your name". 
Unfortunately, there aren't very many left--they have mostly been crowded out by fast food chains and overpriced luxury restaurants.
Not as cold here today. In the 50's. That's better than yesterday but still cold for my old body. Hope you are feeling good and staying warm.

Soda Shoppe / Re: Soda Shoppe December 1...
Last post by OnLonelyMountain - Yesterday at 09:20:38 AMGood morning everyone,
I just came from "Norms Bait and Tackle" where I enjoyed a cozy chat around the old potbellied wood stove 😁. Thought I'd drop in here and order a chocolate creme. I had one of those once in Baker. There was an actual "malt shop." Not many of those around anymore in my neck of the woods. They were actually before my time. Those, along with family owned and operated diners, were things that should never have been forced out by big business and fast food chains.
Not much happening here. I'm still carding, spinning and knitting. It was 67°F yesterday afternoon. I've lived here since 1985, never happened before. Warm enough that a couple of ants crawled out of crevices and dropped on me. They got smashed. I have no sympathy for creepy crawlies that violate my personal space!
Have a lovely day, keep warm and safe all of you who are facing bitter winter weather.

Good morning everyone,
Great to see you posting Ciaobella! I enjoyed reading your posts. I too can relate to feeling the tech lag. I started using computers when I was 10. My father would take me to his office. The computer banks took up one entire wall of the air conditioned room, had magnetic reel to reel tapes and punch cards! LOL. I still crack open ours and repair (replace modules) when sonething goes wrong. I hate software upgrades. They mess with my organization and remove files that someone else has designated as "not important" just because I haven't used them lately. Think repair manuals.
I used to do lots of holiday baking and candy making. I don't have the space anymore. I liked spritz, frosted sugar cookies, gingerbread people, Russian tea cakes, gingersnaps, cheese cake marbled brownies, English toffee, and fudge. Its a good thing I don't make them anymre. If I make them, I eat them. 🤭
Marilyne, I'm still in the pasture. Ron got a virus. He was pretty sick. I am feeling better out here. I'm farther from the road, so less fumes. Its quieter. It was actually 67°F here yesterday! Thats never happened sinced we moved here. Its typically in the upper 20°s in December. I did see a report about unusual heat in the western US, talking about H.A.A.R.P. a couple days ago. I didn't give it much credence until we got to 67°. I smashed 2 carpenter ants that crawled out of the crevices yesterday.
Still carding, spinning and knitting. I'm working on the sleeves now. I'd almost finished the first one when I realized the color was a shade too light. I'm working from a silver grey fleece. The color varies. The light in here isn't real good until afternoon. Thats when I saw the difference. So I've stopped knitting and am carding and spinning for a closer match. I'll rip that sleeve out and begin again.
Ron tells me gas is $3.50 a gallon here. In Texas he paid $2.50/gallon. I saw a report that its projected to drop to near a dollar/gallon by spring!
Thats about all I've got today.

I woke the computer up this morning to find that it was 7o outside, not 8o. After cleaning off my car yesterday afternoon, I find that I have to clean it off again today because we had more snow last evening, just a little, but still.... I see patches of water in the back parking lot made by ice-melt. They look frozen over this morning. I have an appointment on the other side of town to get to near lunch time, and am very much not happy to have to go out today. I will take the long way around rather than the shorter. The shorter drive involves a windy, hilly road. Shorter, but not something I want to drive in bad weather. Stay safe everyone.
