I went to two church services today. I had chalice duty at the 10:30AM service where I attend, I’m Episcopal. But at 8:15AM I went to the Lutheran(LCMS) church I grew up at. A special bell for their bell choir was being consecrated. It was purchased with money given in memory of my father, who was killed last year. I was with my mom and some other relations. You should have _ **seen** _ that bell. It’s the largest size bell for bell choirs that is made to be rung by hand. Anything larger has to be hung from a rack and struck with a mallet. I looked at the note engraved on it and it said G2. I’m not familiar with bell terminology so I don’t know what the 2 stands for. Dad would have appreciated it. ---

Dad would have appreciated it. I’m not musical in any way, but some quick Googleing tells me that it’s the scientific pitch notation, indicating which G note it is. ---

Dad would have appreciated it. I don’t know either, but iffn it said K2, then I’d think it was from a mountainous region in Asia. 😉 No wonder I’m running out of HD space, I’ve taken 24GB of pix & video since Wed! :eek: Now I get to start all of the editing from the 5½ events. I’ve got about ¾ of one done so far. ---

I worked, we were slammed ,I got out on time anyways. Now I’m drinking an Old Chubb, and surfing. > [@EmilyG](#): > > No it isn’t. Tomorrow is still in this month. 😉 > [@anyrose](#): > > Yeah. They even have Independence Day three days early. Silly Canadians. It’s because they have metric time, eh? Welcome, **Luci**! **swampy** , there’s one good fart blossom recipe: 1. Feed fart blossoms to hogs 2. ??? 3. Bacon! ---

The house is no longer dirty (not that it ever does get terribly dirty to begin with) and a small beast is roasting in the oven. Brownies have been baked, dogs fed, where’s my drink? ---

**Luci** , ehh? I like it. Thank you for all the welcomes! [QUOTE=swampbear] Traditional gifts are chawklit for MOOOOOOM, beer for doggio and me, and assorted bonbons/ice creams for everyone else. Except flytrap who gets coasters. He likes to make medallions out of 'em. [/QUOTE] Haha good to know! * * * Just starting my day… Errr… night (it’s nearly midnight where I am). After I get off work in 8 hours I’ll be helping a relative move. Coffee is my friend. 😛 ---

Where are you, **Luci**? The time stamp on your last post was 0300 EDST; If you were in the British Isles, the sun would be up already. So, maybe you’re in Brazil, or Greenland? ---
