"Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset." Saint Francis De Sales

Prom, Family & Outdoor Oven




**********

Dee and I didn’t know each other in high school, so I never had the opportunity to ask her to the “Prom.” Our God-daughter Carrie had a “Prom Party” last weekend so Dee and I posed for a “Prom Photo - 2018.”

Highland Park is one of my favorite single malt scotch whiskeys. I receive monthly newsletters to keep me informed as to what is going on in Orkney. This month there is a chance to win a “Highland Park Serpent Head T-shirt.” My entry has been made so we’ll see if I win one.

Dee, Eric and I went over to cousin Dave's house for lunch. Dave has an excellent outdoor kitchen which was perfect. The sun was shinning and the temperature was in the mid 70's. Dave prepared some pizza's in his wood burning oven and various sausage patties on the grill. We were joined by cousin Carol, Aunt Mary and Aunt Rose. A beautiful luncheon with family. Thank you Dave.

I Hear America Singing

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.
