[lace-chat] Boulder, Co.
I've been to Boulder! :)) - Helen took us to the Celestial Seasons Tea factory, and then on to the Leaning Tree Western Art Gallery - and it was well worth the visit. Beaut paintings - landscapes relating to Westerns, etc, and some marvelous bronze sculptures. I am old fashioned, and like the traditional type of art and sculptures, and there were many excellent ones in Boulder and Denver. A fabulous sculpture just outside the Koebel Library, Denver, of a mother with 2 children, sitting on a bench, reading books. Lovely, and so realistic.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The difference
I grew up in a country which was 97% Catholic, despite (because of??? Contrariness is a fairly common human trait...) all the difficulties the Communist regime imposed on those who wanted to practise it. The remaining 3% were more-or-less equally divided between atheists and "other religions". History -- both in high school and at the U (where I only studied the Anglo-branches, having chosen English as my subject matter) -- alerted me to the existence of "Protestants". Those, apparently, were a branch of Christians, whose priests, unlike ours, didn't wear a cassock and a collarette, were permitted to marry, and where the congregation was encouraged to read the "basic text" (both "testaments" of the Bible), instead of having it "interpreted" for them... Then, I came to US... :) And "met" the "niggling differences", somewhat like the one in the following, most excellent, IMO, joke. 31 yrs later, I still cannot believe it... From: M.A. I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well ... are you religious or atheist?" "Religious." "Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist." "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God." "Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God." "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off. --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush.

We could send you some of our rain! We got several inches late last week, accompanied by 100-mph winds that took down branches and whole trees. The ground is saturated, and people have been out from work today dealing with the results of flooding in basements, dead generators (in rural areas), etc. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Noelene, I'd be in a silly mood too if we had rain!! We've got grey sky, promises from the Weather Bureau which started out very postive 4 days ago, and have sounded less confident as the "Tuesday rain" approached, and all we've seen is a few spits - not enough to show up on the road surface, let alone be seen falling from the sky! *Surely* this drought must end sometime??

Re: [lace-chat] greetings on Memorial Day, too
At 09:54 AM 5/24/2004, you wrote: What are some traditions related to Memorial Day? The traditional USA Memorial Day is May 30th. Our commercially-wise government decided 3-day weekends were desirable, so changed several holidays to always be on a Monday, thus -- 3 day holiday weekends. And this year, Memorial Day Monday is a week away, May 31. I think the younger generation has lost the original meaning of the day. It is a day off work, and a long weekend, that starts the summer season. Many people in this area choose that weekend to go on the first camping trip of the season. (Which usually means camping in the rain.) Family graves are decorated -- all ancestors, not just war dead. Military groups do have memorial services. ( I have only one grave to do. The rest of the family are too far away. My brother gets to do them.) I'll try to decorate my family grave on Thursday or Friday, before the crowd shows up on the weekend. For me -- it's mostly a normal weekend. DH works at a store that is open all the time, so will probably work all three days. Since it includes the last Saturday of the month, that's Lace Meeting day. () The first half of the weekend is supposed to be damp, but Monday should be nice. Maybe I can pull a few weeds in my garden, or something, outside. Then enjoy my lace pillow part of the time. Have a nice end of May, whether you have a holiday or not.
