And that's a wrap

This weekend I:  Kicked off Burlington Community Church.  We had a great day.  Roy's message - "What to Expect From BCC" as part of his "Church - Why Bother?" series was practical & effective.  The team of volunteers that came up to help were everywhere & served with a great attitude.   My MIL cooked up a feast: turkey dinner with all the fixin's plus a roast beef (or 'roast beast' as Ceilidh used to say) dinner. She cooked for 80 & though there were only 60 of us, there weren't too many leftovers.  We had the maintenance staff from the Community Centre grab a plate - they were great to work with & we wanted to get off on the right foot with them.  Great people, great facility, great start.  

Right now I'm: Cleaning, sorting & processing the last week.  Plus, I feel like the little drummer boy has moved into my head.  Goldenrod season is here with a vengeance.  

This week I will:  Follow up on the people who wanted to know more about BCC.  

I'm Reading: My Inbox trying to catch up on the past 2 weeks' email.  

Favorite Tweet from Last Week: Sorry - don't have one.

Favorite TV/MOVIE/Music Moment of the week: Started watching "The Supersizers Go" - a random BBC show about 2 friends who spend a week eating & living the lifestyle of a man/wife or brother/sister from diverse periods of British history, i.e. Edwardian, Victorian, or even the 80's.  I know it sounds completely dorkish, but it's amazing the human race survived let alone Brittania ruled the world based on what they ate.  No wonder the sun never set on the British Empire - someone was always awake & in the loo, purging the kidney pie, roasted ox tongue  or Sheeps head stew.

  1. It amazes me that florists now sell goldenrod. On purpose.

    Though they tend to take offense when you call it 'goldenrod'. They have an artsy, expensive name for it.

    My eyes are burning just thinking about it.

  2. Are you serious? They sell it? Must go in the "I'm Breaking up With you - Enjoy the Flowers" bouquet.

  3. I'm glad to hear the new church is off to a good start. You've worked hard to get where you are. It's good to see it has paid off. Sorry about the allergies. Hope you feel better soon.

  4. I think rather than a favorite tweet, you should have done a favorite quote by a person under the age of 4... "I like moneys..." ;)

    miss you!
